Like last December, I powered through more books than any other month (well, tied with March) and made it to 60 books read for the year! Overall, I enjoyed pretty much everything I read, which made this month a success in more ways than one. The Gate of the Feral GodsDungeon Crawler Carl #4by Matt… Continue reading December 2024

2024 Reading Challenges: Results
This year, instead of choosing a straight TBR for 2024, I decided to pick a few reading challenges and do those instead! One of them I made up for myself (the Quest Challenge), two I found through Storygraph's Reading Challenge feature, and one I found through the book side of YouTube. Quest Challenge Status: Not… Continue reading 2024 Reading Challenges: Results
November 2024 Reads
In November, I really started to pick up the pace on my Diversity Across Genres challenge, completing 3 books, leaving only 2 more. (I still might quit the challenge, but that's a decision for another day!) I also made it through another Dungeon Crawler Carl book (they're absolute treats!) and a surprising short story. And… Continue reading November 2024 Reads
September & October 2024
Well, this blog has been a long time incoming, but after not feeling particularly great for the entire month of October (and hence only reading one book that entire month), I'm back to feeling normal! And so, I present, my reads for September AND October. Maybe because I wasn't feeling well, but I didn't particularly… Continue reading September & October 2024
August 2024
August was a bit of a mixed bag for me - a 5 star new favorite, and then some 4 stars which could have been better. But I am making good progress on the r/Fantasy reading challenge - in fact, I've already hit 16 out of the 25 prompts! Now if only I could be… Continue reading August 2024
July 2024
Overall, July was a pretty good reading month! I made some good progress on both of the reading challenges I'm hoping to complete (r/Fantasy Bingo and Diversity Across Genres). I also read what is my new obsession: Dungeon Crawler Carl. I'd be shocked if it's not my favorite book come the end of the year,… Continue reading July 2024
June 2024
June was a great month of reading for me! I read some books that are hard to forget, including a popular cozy fantasy and an out-of-this-world science fiction. And there were plenty of cat characters to go around this month!

May 2024 Reads
May ended up being a slower reading month, with the nice weather dragging me outside....and I started playing Stardew Valley, which I spent quite a few hours playing instead of reading. But I still read a few great reads, and made some progress on my various reading challenges! Minor Detailby Adania ShibliQuest Objectives: Asian Readathon,… Continue reading May 2024 Reads
April 2024 Reads
April was a whirlwind! Not only did my husband and I travel to Boston, I also found a new book challenge to complete: the r/Fantasy bingo challenge. It runs from April 1 - March 31 of the following year, but I was able to knock out 4 squares this month alone. All in all, I… Continue reading April 2024 Reads
March 2024 Reads
During the month of March, I got through quite a few books as I was recovering from a minor sinus procedure (and couldn't really do anything except lay on the couch). I had some bang-up reads this month, including a few that are contenders to make my end-of-year list of favorites! You'll notice that I've… Continue reading March 2024 Reads
