Monthly Wrap Up: September 2026

Good morning, readers! I started the month off strong with a few Short Stories for #ShortStorySeptember… but after that my reading became out of a whack. I was so busy this month with going back to work and getting set up and ready for our camping trips. Thank goodness audiobooks are a thing!

Monthly Wrap Up: August 2026

Good morning, readers! August is always a busy month for my family and I, and my reading always reflects that. I did read 9 books, but most of them were shorter in length.

My best read this month was You Killed Me First by John Marrs. I didn’t want to stop reading, all the main characters were great and I wanted to see how everything played out.

My worst read book this month was The Rich Guy’s Wife by Bonnie Traymore. The story had potential but just didn’t hit for me.

Monthly Wrap Up: June 2026

Good morning, readers! The month started off with me on vacation so I was barely reading, to being off of work for the summer so I had all the time in the world to read! And I definitely read!!!!!

Monthly Wrap Up: April 2026

Good morning, readers! This month was a great reading month for me! It helped that my husband was working late a lot of days this month and I had the time to sit and read uninterrupted, lol.

Monthly Wrap Up: February 2026

Good morning, readers! After a sort-of-slumpy, not really feeling like reading sometimes month, I ended up reading 7 books in February (5 audiobooks, 1 eBook, and 1 physical book).

Monthly Wrap Up: January 2026

Good morning, readers! Somehow…. I read 7 books this month. Thank goodness for audiobooks at this point. I overwhelmed myself with lots of plans and I ended up scratching all of them and going to comfort books to help my reading along. ALL of my ARCs were neglected – it happens :(

Monthly Wrap Up: December 2025

Good morning, readers! December started off strong and tanked around the holidays, which is expected since I was so busy with traveling and family things.

Excited for all these great plans I have for 2026!

Monthly Wrap Up: November 2025

Good morning, readers! November overall was a good reading month for me. It slowed down at the end due to the holiday though… not mad at it.

One more month until 2026 – that’s CRAZY!

Monthly Wrap Up: October 2025

Good morning, readers! October was definitely a good reading months for me, as I listened to 8 books (three were short stories, which helped my stats lol).

Next month I am doing Netgalley November. Gotta get that ratio number up!

Monthly Wrap Up: September 2025

Good morning, readers! I had a pretty successful reading month and I honestly cannot believe it! Between starting a new job and the crazyness of what September normally brings, I am so happy with how many books I finished!

Monthly Wrap Up: July 2025

Good morning, readers! While I felt like I had no time to read and then couldn’t find any books to keep my interest towards the end of the month, this may be one of my most successful months of reading, haha!

August I am focusing on eBooks I want to get to. And with moving two children into college dorms in a few weeks, I am not sure how much reading will get done. Again, lol.

Monthly Wrap Up: June 2025

Good morning, readers! My reading started off great this month, and then a huge reading slump hit me. I was so busy getting everything ready for my daughter graduation high school so I was absolutely not in a reading mood! Once graduation stuff was over I did a mini vacation to my parents house in North Carolina and my reading picked back up.

Monthly Wrap Up: May 2025

Good morning, readers! My reading is going to be all over the place until the summer. Spring time with a Senior in high school is absolutely crazyness! I finished nine books, mostly audiobooks this month, but I am happy with getting a good amount of listening done.

My first five star read of the year happened this month. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides was awesome and completely had a hold of me! I did not see the ending coming, which is a huge plus for me.

Monthly Wrap Up: April 2025

I saw Everyone Here Is Lying by Shari Lapena while browsing through my library. I ended up not grabbing it off the shelf, but instead decided to borrow the audiobook through Libby. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had borrowed The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson from the library. I fully immersed myself (eBook from Libby, physical book and audiobook from Hoopla), but mostly read the eBook. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A friend recommended I read The Affair by N.A. Cooper, so I borrowed the audiobook from Hoopla. ⭐⭐⭐

The Best of Friends by Lucinda Berry I found on Amazon and used my No-Rush Rewards to pay for the entire price of the book. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wanted to start reading the Eddie Flynn series, so I started with The Defense, the first book in the series, from Hoopla. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Q: Have you read any of these? Any of them are on your TBR?
