We’re almost two weeks into January and I am just getting around to my 2025 reading round-up, mostly because the last two weeks of 2025 were… not great. We all got Flu A (along with approximately 95% of the Eastern Seaboard) and then both my parents ended up hospitalized for pneumonia. The whole thing was […]
Hello! It’s time for my yearly reading post that no one asked for! Being a dutiful Enneagram Type 1, I log all my reading in a spreadsheet (#cool). And at the end of the year, I feel compelled to share my reading log lest my careful documentation go to waste. ANYWAY! The basic numbers for […]
Hello! It’s January, which means it’s time for my annual tradition of updating all three of you who read this about what I read this past year. Last year, I predicted that I wouldn’t have a spare moment for any fun reading this year since I would be starting my MFA program. A year later, […]
Updating my blog has become a once-yearly January tradition, like taking down the Christmas lights. I have come to enjoy looking back at my year through the books that I read, recalling the ones I liked, the ones I loved, the ones I couldn’t finish. This year, though, even as I look back at the […]

2020 was a YEAR, wasn’t it? I started off the year with the ambitious goal of reading 70 books. Cute of me, in retrospect. I ended the year having started 71 books, but only finishing 54. Womp-womp. In most years, I would have been disappointed in falling so short of a stated goal, even one […]
At the beginning of 2018, I started tracking my reading using Google Docs, and I haven’t stopped. Tracking my reading has become fun, even addictive, and it’s spurred me to read even more than I already was. And, despite what my husband might tell me when I’m up past my bedtime devouring a book, more […]
In my approximately 32 years of being a reader, it’s only in this past year that I’ve begun to actively track what I read. Sure, I’ve used Goodreads for years and would occasionally update my list when I remembered, but if you asked me to name how many (and which) books I read in a […]
