Category: Quarterly Wrap-Up

The last few months have been quite the rollercoaster ride in my life. I’ve had my car broken into and my purse stolen, my medical conditions have been worse than they’ve been in a few years so I’m both dealing with that and worrying a lot about what it means going forward. My family are READ MORE

It’s amazing to think that we might be on our way out of winter! We only just got past our snow, and it’s still a little chilly out there. But the sun is starting to come out, even feel a bit warm, and it just feels like it’s turning. We’re even getting new shoots springing READ MORE

As anyone who’s been around here for a little while knows, my reading tends to fall off for a little while at least once a year. I’ve learned to just roll with it, because usually there’s a reason and it’s a chance to catch up on TV until the reading desire returns. So long story READ MORE

This was by far my most successful reading season of the year so far, if not the last several. I participated in an audiobook reading challenge hosted by Libro.fm, so I had to read as many books as possible while that lasted. You’ll probably be able to guess when you start scrolling, but it took READ MORE

I’ve had my yearly down time, I read a few books in March, but not much in April or May. I think this was largely because my focus has shifted to gardening. I’ve been excitedly planting seeds and transplanting seedlings, and outside weeding and preparing the garden as much as I could. I’m excited to READ MORE

  My last few months of reading had some definite ups and downs. My reading usually slows during the winter, and this was no different. December it was nearly nonexistant, and January was not much better. I have, however, picked things back up in February, and I’m hoping that will carry through into the Spring! READ MORE

  What a reading season! The summer started out slowly, but then picked up  in July when I was lucky to find a few really great books that got my reading momentum going! I had a great mix of books I Ioved, liked and was mildly entertained by, and also had possibly my most prolific READ MORE

  This summer was stellar for me reading-wise. I managed to have two of the best reading months I’ve had, and the best reading week. I managed to read at least ten books that are now favourites, and more that are excellent. September wasn’t as good, mostly because my kid started school during the fourth READ MORE

  I started off this year with no idea how my reading would go. I was coming off two straight months of not reading at all and had no idea if that was going to change. Fortunately, I managed to get back into the groove, and after a slow start, this year has turned into READ MORE

  I haven’t done one of these for a while, but I thought it might be a good thing to start again. I’ve been reading a little bit more this year, and as a result my reviews aren’t up to date with my reading. This is a good way to give a brief overview of READ MORE

  So it looks like I entirely forgot to write my quarterly wrap-up for the first quarter of this year, a fact I didn’t even notice until I randomly stumbled on one of my old quarterly wrap-ups and went, “oh, right. I wonder when the last time was that I did one of those things?” READ MORE
