Yearly Wrap-Up: 2020

I think we can all say that 2020 was a very strange and eventful year, even with us quarantining for a vast majority of it. I started grad school for library science this year, though I actually withdrew from my grad school program a few months later (because it was focusing on school librarianship, and I want to pursue public librarianship). I recently started a job as a library page at a branch of our local public library, and I am really enjoying it! We also moved unexpectedly this year! We moved back to Texas, which is where I grew up, so that we could be closer to my family. My daughter started in-person pre-school this year. It has been a hard year for everyone, but it has still had some great moments for me! And, I read WAY more books than I anticipated!!

The End of the Year Book Tag

I found this tag through Priyasha @ Books and Co. If you aren’t following her, head over there now and check out her lovely blog! I thought this would be a fun tag to do for the end of the year. It is always fun to look back over the books you have read in the year.

Monthly Wrap-Up: November 2020

Hello everyone! This month, I read a total of 5 books! My monthly total has been down the past few months, but I am way ahead of my yearly goal, so I’m trying not to be too anxious about it haha

I’m going to try to do things slightly differently this year. I am going to keep y’all updated on how my various book challenges are going in each of my monthly wrap-ups.

Let’s get into it!

Monthly Wrap-Up: September and October 2020

Hello everyone! My life was kind of crazy the past two months, and I apologize for being gone for so long. Things have finally settled down for me a bit, so hopefully I will be updating the blog on a more regular basis now. I am going to do a combination wrap-up post for both September and October, especially since I only read three books in October.

I read a total of 8 books in September and 3 books in October. I will talk more about why my count was so low in October in my Getting Personal section below.

Mini-Reviews // First Half of August

Old books and coffee cup in front of wooden wall. With copy space

This year I started writing mini-reviews over on my Instagram whenever I finish a book. It has been a really great way of remembering more about my thoughts on a book and why I gave it the star rating I did. So, I thought it would be good practice to corral those mini-reviews into one place twice a month so that all of you can take a peek at what I’ve been reading and see my thoughts on each book.

Hello everyone! I was a reading fiend this month, and I ended up with a total of 13 books! I read a ton this month to gear up for next month, when my reading life is going to drastically change…
