July New Releases

Is it almost September? Yes. Did I already have most of this done but never got around to posting it? Also yes. So here are some books that were released in July that I am looking forward to and maybe there's a few you didn't know about yet. As always there are books in all…

5 Star Reads From the First Half of the Year

For the most part I've had a pretty great reading year so far. I've read 49 5 star books between January and June, which feels like A LOT. It's such a big mix of books too. There are all age ranges, all genres and all formats. I really hope I can keep this up the…

July Wrap Up

I read 32 books in July. This was also the most I've DNF this year, hopefully I won't have many more of those. When He was Wicked, Elatsoe and From the Desk of Zoe Washington were definitely my favorite. I don't know what it is about those Bridgerton books but they hit every time. Elatsoe…

A Glimpse at my Story Graph Reading Challenges

I am slightly maybe completely obsessed with Story Graph and the reading challenges you can join and make. I am always joining and making new ones so this list will probably be a lot different in a few months. There's another author challenge I've been meaning to make and who knows what other ideas will…

Mid Year Wrap Up Manga 2021

Manga is actually the one thing so far that I haven't read as much of as I want too. I've only read 3 so far and while both Orange volumes and Hellsing are large and omnibus editions I still haven't made a dent in all that I have planned for this year. Maybe I'll make…

Mid Year Wrap Up Non-Fiction 2021

I started a dewey decimal challenge earlier this year so I'm slowly becoming friends with nonfiction. Plus my youngest is a big fan of picture books and seems to grab nonfiction a lot. I also started a poetry challenge and am working my way through that as well. I've read a total of 45 nonfiction…

Shaded Choice Update 2

Here is my quarterly update for my Shaded Choice Awards challenge. You can find my original posts and my first update here and here. Everything in green is what I've read. I've read 33 out of 132. I'm almost half way there and I'm honestly really excited to get through them. I've liked basically everything…

July Audiobook Tbr

I pretty much keep 10 books on libby at all times and usually have some on hold waiting to come in too. Audiobooks have been a lifesaver. It's a lot easier to get through an audio while I'm at work sometimes than a physical book especially if I have any projects to get done. I…

Mid Year Wrap Up Audio Books of 2021

Excuse me while I freak out for a second. I have listened to 76 audio books already this year. I am AMAZED. I've only been listening to audiobooks for a year or two. Last year I listened to about 50 audios and it was even less than that in 2019. I just don't know how…

PopC Readathon 2000’s Edition

Whitney and I are back with the next round of the Pop Culture Readathon. We are taking it back to the 2000's this time around and the nostalgia is already so much fun. You can find us on IG, Twitter, and Discord. You can join any time as long as it's still July and all…
