Tag: Monthly Wrap-Up

September started off well and jolly, but the end of the month was a real doozy for me for personal reasons. But it was a good reading month because all the books I read were books I physically own. So I’m proud about that because it allows me to decide what I want to keep or offload. Although, to be honest, I bought just as many used books, so I’m neutral in terms of read vs. unread progress! Alas. My September 2026 book blog wrap-up is a bit of a long one, so feel free to skip around to whatever section(s) interest you the most.

I feel like it should still be August? What happened to the time?! I’m not ready to say goodbye to summer. I know Summerween is trending everywhere, but I am not a fellow Summerweener. I almost forgot that the end of the month means it’s time for my August 2026 book blog wrap-up. August was a more “successful” reading month for me in that I finished 9 books. And a lot of those books were ones I’d had on my TBR for a while. Viewership still sucked (more on that below), though. Anyway, these posts are always longer, so just bop around to whatever sections interest you!

Welcome to my July 2026 book blog wrap-up! This is, again, a longer post because I talk about my trip to Taiwan and Japan after all the bookish stuff. So just navigate around to whatever interests you. I got a decent amount of reading done and made some progress on some backlogged ARCs, which made me happy. Travel forces me to read exclusively from my kindle, which is where all my ARCs are, so that’s a win. The other TLDR is that my views were way down for July, more than I think is normal. Did anyone else experience that?

This was a weird reading month (again). I feel like I did “worse” than last month. I had a lofty goal of reading a bunch of my physical books for Pride Month, but then fell off the wagon, so to speak. Between travelling, work distractions, gardening, and not really jiving with most of my reads, I kind of felt like I was in a little slump. But I still finished a few books, so I have a bit of a June 2026 Book Blog Wrap-Up for everyone. As usual, feel free to jump around to the various sections that interest you.

Well, I did not spend as many days reading this month as I usually do. For whatever reason I just wasn’t feeling it, whether it was because it’s gardening season, or trying out a new cookbook, or feeling kind of slumpy from my current nonfiction ARC. There were five days where I read zilch. Usually audiobooks help me out here, but I didn’t find as much time for those either. That “unproductiveness” also crossed over into blogging and I didn’t really feel like doing much of that either, so I just rolled with it. But I still have enough to report out on for my May 2026 Book Blog Wrap Up. It was a busy month!

This is a bit of a long one because I babble on at the end about my garden. So feel free to skip around, of course, to sections that are of interest to you.
