#OctoberWrapUp

#NetGalley- 1
#BuddyReads - 3

No bingos this month. Instead of sticking to my list I got caught in a new to me series and read the first five.

Despite spending most of the month obsessing over Agatha All Along, I still managed to read more books than September (yay for that!). It was a pretty good spooky month in the books, happily! #monthlywrapup #monthlystats #thestorygraph #storygraph

October #BookSpinBingo wrap up. 10 books read in October is not too bad, but it pains me how close I came to getting a double Bingo 🤣 Crossing my fingers for November, which is also my birthday month! I plan to host a readathon during my birthday week. I will post details soon. 🧁 📖

Been under the weather the last few days but starting to feel better. I apologize for the glut of posts as I get caught up.

#AugustWrapUp

I did read both #Bookspin and DoubleSpin books. And had 3 bingos. I finished one of my 3 #Roll100 audio books. I only finished 2 books the last week of August.

Stats are a little down from last month, mainly cause I watched a little more tv in August (still RAGING about the final season of the umbrella academy tbph)… but still read quite a few good books last month. 😄#monthlywrapup #monthlystats #thestorygraph #storygraph

#readaway2024

I am loving the new monthly wrap up feature on #thestorygraph - love me some stats!
Looks like my reading went down in July (which makes sense since I spent a good part of the month catching up on shows) 😄
Who knows what August will bring 🤓

I read/listened to 16 books in June!

2023 was a very difficult year for me personally so I‘m pretty happy with the amount of books read. Hoping to read at least 1-2 books a week in 2024, read more of the books I own and work on decreasing the number of NetGalley ARCs I have.

October #wrapup

Total: 10
5 audio (1 short story and 1 novella)
5 print

I was close but no #bookspinbingo for October. I also did not complete my BS (Last House) or DS (Guilder Needles).

#Scarathlon picture books helped me do better than expected with #AutumnAtoZ! Thanks for hosting @Texreader

September wrap-up. Came so close to a #BookSpinBingo. Completed 2 #TrappedOnAnIsland books. I didn‘t want to do a review for Dead Inside because I didn‘t want to bring more attention to it, but that book is the most fucked up shit I‘ve ever come across. I had a feeling I should have DNF‘d it 2 hours in and friends, let me tell you. Trust that feeling. That is all 😂🤢

September #wrapup

We relocated from Texas to Indiana this month so most of my reading in September was via audio. I also never created my #BookspinBingo board for the month. All of the books I completed were picks!

Completed:
Audio - 5
Graphic Novel - 1
Print - 1

Tell Me This Ends Well was my July #Bookspin and I have decided to DNF as I‘m not that interested.
The Bromance Book Club was my #Bookspin for September.
