    August 2025 Reading Wrap-Up

    It’s time to wrap up everything I read in August! But what about what I’ve read the rest of the year so far? Am I going to write wrap-ups about those books? Absolutely not. If you want to know how I feel about anything I read prior to August, you’ll have to check out my

  • September was interesting, to say the least. I started my new job as an instructional assistant in an elementary/middle school and so far am actually really enjoying it. It has its downsides (as with any job), but I really like helping the kids. Given that September was so busy for me, I’m actually impressed at

  • Book Blogger Hop: My Last DNF

    Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Billy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Reader that runs from Friday to Thursday in which bloggers answer a book-related prompt. It’s a great way to provide some insight into yourself and introduce yourself to some great new blogs. What was the last book you started

  • So July was a month. Overall, it was just more 2020. The upside is I got a new job! Yay for me! But what about my reading? In July, I read six books: two novels, one non-fiction book, three graphic novels, and one poetry book. Unfortunately, I also (tentatively) DNF’d a book. Overall, the quality

  • In 2019, I decided to read for quality over quantity. Combined with the fact that I’ve started reading more adult books and have gotten better at picking out books I think I’ll like, this has made for a great reading year. Unfortunately, there were still a few stinkers. The good news is there were far

  • June 2019 Wrap-Up

    Hello, hello, hello! It’s time to wrap up all the books I read in June. Last month I read three novels and two short stories. I was in a bit of a reading slump and went through a period where I didn’t want to read anything. I blame my broken ankle. Fortunately, I can report

  • March 2019 Wrap-Up

    I’ve got to say, even though I’m not reading as many books as I used to, 2019 has been a really good reading year for me so far. March is no exception. This month I read four novels and two graphic novels/memoirs. And I didn’t rate anything below three stars. I also DNF-ed a book.

  • Books I DNF-ed in 2018

    As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten better about not forcing myself to read books I’m not enjoying. Why waste time and energy on a book that sucks? However, I’ve also gotten a lot better at choosing books that fit my interests. That has lessened my need to DNF books. In fact, I only had to

  • End of the Year DNF List

    Despite my grueling reading year, I have a wonderful announcement to make: I completed my reading challenge! That’s right, I read 100 books this year (several of which were graphic novels and poetry collections)! To celebrate, I am doing nothing. However, I do still have a few books I need to talk about before the

  • Well, well, well. Here we are at the end of my 2017 worst lists. Of course, it’s not the end of all my lists, but it’s the last of the bottom-of-the-barrel content. 2017 has been a rough reading year for me. I gave myself a reading goal of one hundred, which was a mistake. I’m
