March 2026 TBR

Published on by Celeste9 Comments

I did really well with my priority reads on my February 2026 TBR. I hope to keep that trend going for my March 2026 TBR. My March 2026 TBR is a bit more ambitious because I’d really like to get some ARCs off my plate so I can have more of a choose my own adventure in the spring. Unless someone emails me a very tempting NetGalley widget, I don’t think I’ll go ARC hunting on my own for a couple months.

In fact, I’ve been going back on forth about taking a hiatus from my blog for a month or so. I don’t think I will, but I might not bother with WWW Wednesday posts this month just so there’s one less thing on my to do list. Lately I’ve been going through a lot of mental gymnastics and highs/lows due to circumstances out of my control. And maybe taking a step back from the parts of my hobby that feel kind of like a chore will help me feel more calm. (That and maybe I should just avoid the news altogether. :-()

Anyway, enough of that! Here’s my March 2026 TBR. Some of it is backlist reads and some is ARCs.

February 2026 Book Blog Wrap-Up

Published on by Celeste14 Comments

I started of this month pretty strong by finishing seven books by mid-February. However, I guess my “productivity” kind of fell off a cliff since then because I’ve only finished one book since then! But I still have plenty to share for my February 2026 book blog wrap-up. As usual, feel free to bop around to whatever section(s) interest you.

February 2026 On My Radar

Published on by Celeste14 Comments

As everyone knows, February is a shorter month, so it seemed to go by extra fast. But there were still plenty of awesome posts I read to present in my February 2026 On My Radar. I found Amanda’s post about Spotify and Bookshop (below under “Bookish Miscellany”) particularly interesting. Such an odd move for Bookshop, who continue to remain silent about the outrage of their partnership with Spotify. Anyway, have fun blog hopping!

WWW Wednesday

WWW Wednesday: February 25, 2026

Published on by Celeste7 Comments

Before I jump into WWW Wednesday, I just want to say thank you for all the recent comments on my blog! I apologize for being slow to reply to them. It’s more of a time thing as I’m trying to focus on getting the rest of February’s posts written and published. But I’ve also been getting headaches because I think I’m spending too much time in front of screens. My day job involves using a computer all day and lately I think I’ve been extra focused on computer tasks due to deadlines, so I think I’ve been unconsciously tensing and straining while working. Anyway, the TLDR is I’ll reply to everyone eventually, but thanks for continuing to visit!

WWW Wednesday was revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.
