No one move! They are both in my lap at the same time! Mostly.


Gonna focus on clearing out my library checkouts for #JanuaryBluesReadathon I did finish my book club read this morning but forgot to put it on my graphic. 🤦🏾♀️

The not so good news is I forgot to post my #ReadYourKindle pix for January. The good news is I‘ve already finished one of the books and picked up a second one.

#26for26 Readathon
I aimed for 700 pages (couldn‘t think of a good multiple of 26) and actually read 767 pages! 🎉
An excellent kick off to the year! Thank you @Bookwormjillk for hosting/motivation. I can‘t wait to see what other great reading 2026 brings.

I was so proud of myself for starting one of my #Roll100 books this morning. I started Etiquette & Espionage and some things seemed familiar but I know I had a false start with this book in the past. As I added it to Goodreads I realized I‘ve actually read the whole book already🤦🏾♀️. So I‘ll be making a substitute with the next book in the series. 🙃🙃🙃

4 days into the new year and I‘m already forgetting to post things. New year, same me. My goal was 400 pages and with my desperation to finish books for the end of the year I ended up reading 701 pages.
Crushed the first readathon and can‘t wait for many more this year. Thank you @LiseWorks for hosting. #Welcome2026Readathom

Since Mr Shadow decided I don‘t know my right hand anytime soon I‘ll just sit here and listen to my audiobook. #AudioNapTrapped

Sometimes (quite often) I don‘t learn my lesson. 🤷🏾♀️
#ReadYourKindle @CBee

In my reading goals for 2026 I purposely listed prioritizing my #Roll100 this year. I just can‘t lose momentum.
Thank you @PuddleJumper for hosting this challenge this year.

#BookspinBingo locked and loaded for January.
#Bookspin Book I Own
#Doublespin Hoopla
No idea what my BS and DBS books will be but time will tell.
Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for hosting again this year. Can‘t wait to see what everyone is reading.

My Goodreads and StoryGraph wrap ups differ on some of the details. But SG is what matches closest to mine.

Speaking of challenges that were stressing me at the end of the year. Here is part 2 of my #25in25
At the end of the year I only read 20 which is fine. I‘ll throw the other 5 back on the TBR to be read some other time.

I felt like I was sliding into a slump in December. Turns out my mood reading heart was suffering while trying to close out all the challenges I was behind on. Once I gave that up and got back to reading what I want I flew through stories. One day I‘ll learn to balance my reads better.

Finally #BookspinBingo board for 2025. I had a great reading year. And plan on continuing to spin all of 2026.

After I wrote all that I remembered the male narrator sounded like a cross between Danny Tanner and Ned Flanders and I think that‘s what really turned me off.

Merry chase the wrapping paper, shred the ribbons and take naps in bags day!

I‘ve been struggling with reading from a list so I haven‘t done well with #10BeforeTheEnd
Being a mood reader is tough on challenges. 🤦🏾♀️


Doh! I completely forgot to post my wrap up for #CandyCaneReadathon. I read a total of 589 pages. I read from 3 different books but only finished one. At least it was a good one. I hope you all had fun too.
Thanks @LiseWorks for hosting.

I had a really good reading day yesterday. I hope I can finish Road Trip with a Vampire today to close out #CandyCaneReadathon

Not many pages because I had to decide on a new book and be social. Living the introvert dream over here. Fortunately I can spend today being a reading goblin in my pjs today.

Now that I‘ve finally caught up on my November wrap up is finally done here is my December #BookSpinBingo board.

A disgustingly late #MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #NovemberWrapUp
Reading slow and posting even slower. 🤦🏾♀️

Been sitting on this for a while and just don‘t have much to say.

Final numbers for #SnowyDecemberReadathon I'm really shocked there are more pages since I've had snow days almost the whole time but it is what it is.
Thanks @LiseWorks for hosting. Looking forward to do it again soon.

A correction for Wednesday's number, I forgot to include my ebook totals. Not much read yesterday. I'm trying to finish a challenge and learning that I don't enjoy “having to read“ so even though they are books I picked and am interested in I'm not feeling much reading joy. If I ever needed proof that I am a mood reader I have it. I'm not sure what I'll do for future challenges or even if I'll be able to finish this one.
#SnowyDecemberReadathon

One book finished! I didn‘t love it but I‘ll tell you more about it later. I‘ve moved on to my Book Club book and it‘s already so cute. Kai is so grumpy. 🤣
