Since it's a third of the way into March, naturally its time for me to do my February wrap up (ha ha)! February was a rather mixed reading month--a mix of reading and then not reading very much except work stuff. I started off the month well ticking off book after book on the tentative…
Reading Wrap Up: January 2023
The first month of the year already gone by, but one that proved to be a pretty good one reading-wise. In January, I read 11 books, including one picture book. Six of these were mysteries, three children's books (one of which was a mystery), two works of translated fiction, and one nonfic volume. In addition,…
Non Fiction November: My Year in Nonfiction 2022 (so far)
It's time for Nonfiction November again, and while I seem to be moving on a schedule of my own with reading prompts and challenges (plenty of reading plans and general plans having fallen through for work reasons), I am going ahead and doing an overview of the nonfiction reading I have done so far this…
August 2022 Reading Wrap Up
Already the 16th of September, but posting this month has been slow for me, and this is probably the first month this year that I haven't written a single review in 15 days as headless-chicken mode continues. (I have been reading though so reviews should start to resume as soon as I'm more in control…
Updates and Wrap Ups: April-July 2022
It's been a while since I've done a monthly reading wrap up--I see March 2022 was my last one--partly because of laziness but also partly since I don't quite know where the time went, frankly. So instead of doing the usual detailed one, this one's just a short version for all four months. I'm fairly…
March 2022 Reading Wrap Up
Another month gone already (and a week into the following one)! March was a pretty good reading month overall for me in which I read 9 books, 1 manga, and 2 picture books totaling to 12. Once again between review copies and other reads, I did manage to fit in a good mix of genres—2…
February 2022 Reading Wrap Up
February was a pretty nice reading month for me—I started off well, and thought I might manage more than my usual number of reads, but then slowed down because of work commitments. In terms of numbers I did a little better than in January—11 books as against January’s 10, but effectively it was less than…
December 2021 Reading Wrap Up
A third of January gone already, would you believe it? And I’m only now getting down to wrapping up my reading for December 2021. In December I read fewer books than in past months, finishing only 9. One of these however was something I’d been reading instalments for the past few months so only technically…
Reading and Blog Reflections 2021
2021 is drawing to a close, and everyone's coming up with their best of the year reads. This is something I struggle with, since while I know what books I liked or loved and which I didn't, sometimes I don't really know how to pick between my higher ranked reads, so I never end up…
October and November 2021 Wrap Up
Having been trying to catch up with my TBR, reading memes and challenges and the computer giving out for a bit in October, I never ended up posting my October monthly wrap up so am combining it with the one for November. So as not to make this post too long, I'm just listing out…
