I used September to prepare myself for my favorite month of the year, October, reading a handful of horror novels, as well as quite a bit of fantasy as well. Admittedly, a lot of the books I read this month were in the 3-to-4-star range, but a couple really stood out including a new all-timeContinue reading “September 2021 reading wrap-up”

August 2021 reading wrap-up
Fifteen. That’s how many books I was able to finish in the month of August, so before you come at me with “why aren’t you writing anything new,” consider that! It was a busy month at the end of a busy summer, and my reading total is evidence that my favorite way to wind downContinue reading “August 2021 reading wrap-up”
July 2021 reading wrap-up
Have I been great at keeping up with this blog lately? No, of course not. In my defense, it’s a busy time of year at work (and in life), but I promise to get back to writing more regularly as summer winds down. However, just because my writing has been irregular doesn’t mean my readingContinue reading “July 2021 reading wrap-up”
June 2021 reading wrap-up
I took a break from writing new posts throughout the month of June, but my reading didn’t slow down a bit. I finished ten books this month, bringing my half-year total to 60.

Read on to see what my favorite reads of MayContinue reading “May 2021 reading wrap-up”

March 2021 reading wrap-up
If you had your doubts about my reading slump, let it be known that I did not finish my first book in the month of March until March 14th, and afterwards I blazed through a number of books, hitting some fantasy, a short story collection, a memoir, and an essay collection. In the end, IContinue reading “March 2021 reading wrap-up”
February 2021 reading wrap-up
When I started putting this together, I thought that the story of this month would be the long reading slump that I endured during its middle. Realizing that I had read more books this month than I had in January, I figured I had to reframe that just a bit. This month is marked byContinue reading “February 2021 reading wrap-up”
January 2021 reading wrap-up
I kicked 2021 off with a new set of goals and aiming to knock a few books off of my overly long TBR list. Check out my recommendations from my January 2021 reading.

December reading wrap-up
I ended my best reading year in recent memory with a lot of fantasy, a popular author, and a new favorite. Here’s my December 2020 reading wrap-up. Best of the month “She would nuzzle him, beginning to understand that just because he didn’t see something in her didn’t mean it wasn’t there, knowing there wasContinue reading “December reading wrap-up”
