I also graduated from college and became branch manager of my library. It's been a busy year.

bailedThis started out sweetly, with two lonely people before Christmas and a meet-cute in an airport. But it started to get too heavy handed explaining how not to reinforce gender roles. Preaching to the choir here! I got bored and bailed

First #bookspin and #bookspinbingo of 2025. All books are from previous boards and never gotten to. @TheAromaofBooks
I'm so proud that I was able to read many of the prompts each month and I had so much fun!
#foodandlit2024: 10 out 12 completed
#authoramonth2024 : 7 out of 12 completed
I plan to continue to do these this new year.

These are my tentative goals for #SeriesLove2025 . I need to concentrate on getting to “Fools Fate” by Robin Hobb, , “Marking Time” by Elizabeth Jane Howard, and “The White Monkey” by John Galsworthy. I keep putting them off.
Got some bingos on these #ispybingo boards! The July and February ones were so close to a blackout!!
My main goal for 2025 is to not only continue to chip away at my back log of unread ebooks but to also tackle my back log on my physical TBR. I am continuing the #readyourkindle #readyourebooks challenge but adding in physical books as well this time. Fingers crossed I stick to it.
And 2024 is in the books! Thank you Litsy for all you do to enhance my reading life. From every challenge and buddy read, like and comment, my life has been filled with light and joy because of this marvelous community. I wish each and every one of you a fantastic 2025! Happy New Year! 🥳😘
December Wrap up. Both 5 🌟 books are favorite seasonal rereads. And like so many others I think The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year was just delightful. It may become a seasonal reread as well.
Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

New ABC Title Challenge Board for 2025!
Play, tag and have fun! Hopefully I'll do better this time around, my last years board was pitiful.
#2025TitleChallenge
It would seem that I did not do well in this, I thought I'd have more filled in. Too many repeating letters in my titles this year.
#2024ABCChallenge
I started a new knitting project, socks to myself 😀

I spent the first hour of 2025 with my kobo making Granny squares lol. Starting off with a book from my January Bingo Board that's also the latest in one of the (MANY) series I read lol

Happy New Year! May your TBR be always filled and your current read unputdownable. 💕📚
It‘s so neat to see your GR reading stats at the end of the year! I hope 2025 is as good a year for reading.
Not to shabby. Could've been better if life hadn't made me slightly slumpy end of Nov-mid Dec but I can't complain.
That‘s 2024 wrapped up! As expected, I couldn‘t break last year‘s record (200 📚), but 172 is still pretty good for me. However, my average rating is only 3.3 and I only rated 5 books with 5 ⭐️ this year. I blame #romantasy, it‘s fun and quick to read, but usually not that great. In 2025, I want to focus more on reading actually good books.

pickHere is to new reading adventures.
My Goodreads and Kindle goals for 2025.
It seems that the Kindle goal is tied to your Goodreads goal now 🤔 but I noticed on my Kindle paper white it is now tied to your Goodreads account and it automatically changes it to read when you finish a book.
#WeeklyFavorites
Here‘s the #WeeklyFavorites template for January. All are welcome to join. Fill it out weekly, at the end of the month, skip weeks, etc. Whatever works for you.

I'm combining #Jumpstart2025 with the #StoryGraph #PageChallenge2025 as always.
This always gives me a good start to the year!
My goal is to read at least 20 pages a day and listen to one Audio book a week.
@Lizpixie
I finally made my 52 books a year goal! I‘ve tried for 3 years and finally made it! 🥳
