Monthly Wrap-Up: October 2021

monthly-2021-10

Apparently posting the previous month’s wrap-up halfway through the month is a thing with me now. All I can say is that we’re hitting fall crunch time. Between Halloween, our anniversary, Thanksgiving, two kid birthdays and all the winter holidays? Everything from October til January is a bit rushed. I’ve also been using having theRead the Post

Monthly Wrap-Up: September 2021

Hellooooo, fall! After the absolutely scorching summer we’ve had here, I was looking forward to some cooler temps. No such luck, but so far October seems to be down in the 70s at least. School’s going well for the kids, though our newest dog, Derpdog, who was adopted during the pandemic, is still very confusedRead the Post

August was an interesting adjustment. With the kids back in school, I’m finally getting to tackle all of the home projects we put off for the last, uh, year. As far as challenges, I’ve been working on Cannonball Bingo. For Goodreads, at the start of the month I was at 189 books out of myRead the Post

July 2021

  I can’t believe it’s halfway through August already! Sorry for the delay on this one (and the complete absence of June’s wrap-up) but the summer has been a doozy. We spent the first week of August camping (almost zero internet which was… nice?) and then came back and it was time for a newRead the Post

May 2021 Wrap-Up

It’s… June? Where did May go? Like, we’re half-way through the month and I’m just getting this out. Let’s just say the last two weeks of school were a mess (but a good mess) and now the kids and I are finally relaxing into summer time. I don’t think that’s going to mean more readingRead the Post

monthly-2021-04

  It’s April, and at least where I am, things are starting to look a bit… normal? I know that’s not the case elsewhere in the world (here’s one charity I’ve supported in India) so it’s very bittersweet. Both of my kids will be in school part-time starting this month, though, so I’m hoping forRead the Post

March Monthly Wrap-Up

March supposedly comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, and, well, now that I’ve gotten my first Covid shot, things are definitely looking up. I had another pretty great reading month, as well, and I’ve been enjoying several book clubs. It’s almost like life is starting to feel a bit moreRead the Post

Monthly Wrap-Up February 2021

  So, February… or month 14 of 2020. Things do feel like they’re starting to look up, at least out here in California. Plus I had a great reading month, including inhaling the entire Touchstone series over the course of about a week. While I filled out some more spots for SnowInLoveBingo, I’m sadly not goingRead the Post

Monthly Wrap-Up January 2021

I was so happy for January and then… well, it actually happened. It definitely felt like month 13 of 2020 for me. I’m a bit behind on my ARCs – for whatever reason (eyeroll) I haven’t been reading as much as I should – and I’ve spent most of the month feeling like I’ve beenRead the Post

Monthly Wrap-Up December 2020

I don’t have words to express how happy I am that 2020 is over. It’s been a pretty good year, reading-wise, but having everyone home all the time has definitely cut into my blogging time. There were a lot of improvements I’d hoped to make – changing themes, adding in some more recommendation pages –Read the Post
