Tag: On My Radar

Good morning everyone! I didn’t read as often or feel super motivated to do blog things, but my May 2026 On My Radar is slightly shorter than usual. I’m sure I missed some good posts, but I still read some good ones, too! Here’s a round up of some of the bookish posts I read on the blogosophere. Happy blog hopping!

This March 2026 On My Radar is a little shorter than usual because I took a soft hiatus from blogging this month. I still hopped on every now and then to take a peek at what others were up to. Needless to say, I’m sure I missed a bunch of things, but I still managed to read a few posts. So, happy blog hopping!

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!

Hello, everyone! In the blink of an eye, January is almost over, which means it’s time for my January 2026 On My Radar. The month started out ok, but I became progressively distracted, so I didn’t blog hop around as much. But I still found some goodies, so have a look below to see if you missed any of these bookish posts.
