June 2025 TBR

Published on June 2, 2025May 30, 2025 by Celeste11 Comments

Well, I basically failed with my May 2025 TBR and only finished two books from that list. Here’s to hoping I do better with my June 2025 TBR! It’s back to the medical crapshoot for me this month, but I hope I can focus enough to knock some ARCs off my list. The ones I plan to focus on are all fantasy, but all quite different, which should keep things interesting.

May 2025 Book Blog Wrap-Up

Published on May 31, 2025May 30, 2025 by Celeste7 Comments

May was an interesting month! My reading started off okay and then I fell into a bit of a slump during the second half. I also took a trip to the UK, so that impacted how much I felt like reading, too. However, I picked up THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH this week, which is helping me get out of my slump. All that aside, I managed to do some bookish stuff this month. So here’s my May 2025 book blog wrap-up in case you missed anything!

May 2025 On My Radar

Published on May 30, 2025May 26, 2025 by Celeste7 Comments

This May 2025 On My Radar is a bit shorter than usual for a number of reasons. I took an international vacation for over a week in the UK and wasn’t super present within the book blogosphere. I’ve also been in a bit of a reading slump and as such lacked motivation to do a lot of bookish things. Nevertheless, I did blog hop a little, so please feel free to pay these folks a visit!

WWW Wednesday: May 28, 2025

Published on May 28, 2025May 28, 2025 by Celeste9 Comments

It’s the last WWW Wednesday in May and I’m afraid I don’t have much to show for it! It’s been two weeks since my last WWW Wednesday and I finished one novella. Poof. That’s it! This is partially because I took a trip to the UK for nine days. And it’s partially because I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, which isn’t great because I have ARCs to read. Anyway, let’s get on with it!

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.
