2020: A dumpster fire of a year for the social butterflies, the high-risk population, and for mental health everywhere. 2020: Somehow an amazing reading year because I was stuck at home with nothing else to do! Here's a recap of my reading statistics, along with commentary, and goals, and favorite authors who are returning with… Continue reading Looking forward to 2021, and a 2020 Recap

Best Books Published In 2020
These are all of the five star books I read this year that were published in 2020! They are ordered by the date that I read them, from earliest in the year toward the end. There are thirteen, because limiting this list to just 10 books was insane and not a helpful exercise. Long Bright… Continue reading Best Books Published In 2020
September 2020 Reading Recap
September was a bit of a bombshell month. I found out that I needed to change jobs, and went into a whirlwind of an interview process (three Zoom meetings in as many days). Thankfully, all of those interviews went well and I start a new job here in October! The stress of the job change… Continue reading September 2020 Reading Recap
August 2020 Reading Recap
August lead me to hit my reading goal of 150 books for the year, with the 5 star read of 'How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse' ringing in at the finish line. My not-so-secret ( probably unachievable ) goal is 200 books. Now that I've hit my 'official' Goodreads goal, the pressure is off and… Continue reading August 2020 Reading Recap
July 2020 Reading Recap
July was a record breaking reading month for me - a total of 22 books! At the end of July I was able to attend our first socially distanced, corona-time wedding. It warmed my heart so much to be able to celebrate our two college friends who had been waiting so long for this magical… Continue reading July 2020 Reading Recap
5 star books of Quarantine (March to June 2020)
I don't know about you, but my quarantine reading really tanked during March and April. My mental health struggled greatly. I was stuck at home all of the time, and I couldn't focus on anything. I am sure all of my other #type1s and extroverted introverts felt the same. You've heard others talk about it… Continue reading 5 star books of Quarantine (March to June 2020)

November 2019 Reading Recap
I only (only is said very lightly and quite sarcastically) read 10 books this month. This number is low (compared to other months of 2019) because I committed myself to finally finishing the 5th book in the Outlander series. By page count, my reading was just as high this month as previous months. Only one… Continue reading November 2019 Reading Recap

September 2019 Reading Recap
Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry WinstonA pretty standard rom-com. I am personally in love with Tom Hanks myself (go watch You've Got Mail) so I am pretty biased toward anything that idolizes him the way I do. The main character had a complex background and her venture into love is round-about but not in… Continue reading September 2019 Reading Recap
