Monthly Wrap-up: January 2025

I’ve been posting my monthly wrap-ups on my bookstagram (Instagram) for years, and it somehow just occurred to me to also post them here. So, starting this year, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m also going to start writing blog posts about bookish things other than just book reviews, such as library programs and authors visits I attend. After all, this blog is about my entire bookish life! So, here goes!

I read 17 books in January, and they were some amazing books! Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney was easily my best book of the month. I’m looking forward to some more great reading in February!

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!

I have been MIA for December, sorry about that! It was a busy month, but I did manage to get quite a lot of reading done. I read 24 books, and surpassed my yearly goal of 300 books by completing 315 for 2020.

I am super excited for this year and have been keeping a list of all the books that are being published this year, as well as some backlist books that I’ve been meaning to read that I MUST read this year!

Take a look at the books I read in December, and get ready for posts about the books I’ll read this year! Happy reading!
