Goodbye June – Hello July

And now we are halfway through the year. Six months, wasted. Though not completely, as I did read some great books. In May I focussed on Middle Grade, so for June I decided to pick up books centered around my other great weakness: Victorian/Historical (mystery). These make up over half of my TBR, so I……

Goodbye May – Hello June

May was for Middle Grade… and turned out to be a great reading month for me. I read 21 books, 20 of which middle grade/children’s books, for a total of somehow exactly 6000 pages. The one book that wasn’t children’s fiction was The Mask of a Thousand Tears, which I read together with The Husband. I did……

Goodbye April – Hello May… OWLs Readathon Wrap-up

I put this post up last Thursday, but really couldn’t be asked to actually write it. So I didn’t… April was a weird month, for many people I guess. In general I would have like 3 or 4 ‘good’ days, followed by one horrible one in which I would emotionally crash and just sit on……

Goodbye March – Hello April

And I thought January was long… I started March of in quite the slump. But then this self-isolation happened, and although I still struggle to read at times… it is not like I’ve got anything else to do. And I guess I do still really want to read, because the day that really broke me……

Goodbye February – Hello March

February was a very mixed reading month for me. It started with Polarthon, in which I read loads. And then I went on holiday and I barely read at all. Still, I have 12 books to show you (with quite a few smaller ones in there). When it comes to quality of the books, it……

Goodbye January – Hello February

This is going to be a long post, sorry not sorry. But I did read a Lot in January. And by a lot I mean 24 books, or 6181 pages. My second highest number of pages ever. So I think I’ll just get started. First of, I DNFed two books. Last year I wanted to……

December Wrap Up

Even though my December ended in chaos with The Husband’s bday and crazy hours at work over Christmas, I still read 13 books! And I really enjoyed most of them. December was also the month of the Winter Magical Readathon, during which I tried something new. I kept a reading diary for all the books……

Goodbye November – Hello December

November has been quite the month. I had to take two weeks sick leave to finally give my elbow some rest and give it a chance to recover. Not long after that The Husband and I both got the flu (it’s the season I guess). We also took a cat of the street. And during……

I went on sick leave: update and a wrap-up

You may have noticed (or not) that I have been a lot less active on here than usual. I went on sick leave for two weeks. I have had a golfers elbow since Easter. You might have heard of a tennis arm/elbow. What I have is similar to that, just on the inside of my……
