Two of my three remaining reading resolutions were to read specific Nonfiction books and to show my library love. How did I do? We will never know because I failed at tracking! NonFiction Reader Challenge from BookdOut I loved this challenge when I picked it out last year. Shellyrae @ BookdOut put out these great... Continue Reading →
Ten whole audiobooks! Is this as many as in years past? No. Am I embarrassed or shy about these results? Also no. This puts me in the Weekend Warrior Category which feels accurate for this year. 2021 had black-to-back reading slumps that had me questioning where reading and books belonged in my life. In August... Continue Reading →
This reading challenge, hosted at Gather Together and Read, sounds tailor made for me. I am such a sucker for a book to movie adaptation. Was I objectively successful at reading adaptations during 2021? No. No, I was not. But, I will credit this challenge with putting The Chaos Walking Trilogy in my path. Book... Continue Reading →
"I don’t see the point in getting frustrated when reading is supposed to be for pleasure." This comment from Nicki at The Secret Library Book Blog absolutely nails my mentality about reading and helped me (finally) solidify my reading resolutions for 2021. After all, how many times have I defended reading romances, middle grade books,... Continue Reading →
I love Hot Listens and Caffeinated Reviewer's audiobook challenge. For my audiobook challenge I wanted to listen to 20+ books this year and I did it! This is a challenge I have participated in for a few years and each year I find more ways to integrate audiobooks into my reading life. This year that... Continue Reading →
At the very beginning of 2020 I saw The Knight is Dark and Full of Books do this with their 2019 books and I was in awe. I knew I wanted to do the same for my 2020 books but I also knew that if I didn't make it a monthly habit it would be a... Continue Reading →
I have been spending the past week thinking about my reading habits, what I want to change, and how I want to grow as a reading and reviewer. I started by looking at my successes and failures of the past year and selected challenges that would (1) not make me insane and (2) would help... Continue Reading →
This year I vowed to log every single book I read on Goodreads. I know that this sounds silly - what is the alternative? Well, what I did pre-2019 was to only log the books I was proud to read or ones that I reviewed. Which is just silly because every single book is a... Continue Reading →
After this, I only have one more challenge to address; my Goodreads challenge. But it would be remiss of me to not take the time to talk about the straight up messes I have made of my reading and reviewing this year. This is where I lay down the shameful double whammy of bad habits... Continue Reading →
2018 might have been the year I discovered the power of audiobooks but 2019 is definitely the year that I made audiobooks work for me. And, I owe it all to Hot Listens and Caffeinated Reviewer's audiobook challenge! In this challenge, you are encouraged to listen to audiobooks and they make being successful so easy. Here...
