Friday Favorites
I am basically hibernating right now. Between the frigid temperatures and the piles and piles of snow that still cover the sidewalks and curb cuts everywhere, it's much easier and nicer to just stay inside.

January was a bit of a slower month for me... partially because of how often I hit play on Heated Rivalry (yes, still!), partially because I picked a few longer books, and partially just because of life!
So this month's favorites aren't the most exciting, and have more repeats than the usual month! But these are the things that stuck out over the long, long month that was January.
Since January is already more than halfway over, it feels a little late to do a full 2025 recap. Honestly, it was a weird year for me anyway, so a shorter, abridged look back at the past year is more exciting to me, anyway! I'm going to share six favorites from the past year - some that are "things," and some that are experiences. These are just some of the things that stick out to me when I think back!
I'm catching up on a little bit of my "Best of" content for last year, and this is probably my favorite recap post to write. It's so much fun to look back at all the books I've read over the past year, and pick out the ones that really stuck out to me.
I have been easing into January very, very slowly. I know some people are super excited to get back into a routine, but I'm not quite there yet. It's not that I'm opposed to a routine - I love a routine! - I just don't love waking up early. So I'm getting there, but I just need another week or two to feel really ready.
Before we get into any "Best of 2025" type of content, I need to wrap up December! The month started out very strong for me reading wise, and then I started reading Rachel Reid's Game Changer books, and they put me in a bit of a slump because all I wanted to do was read more about Shane and Ilya. It's a new month, though, and I'm slowly getting out of my slump. But for now, here's everything I read last month.
I know December is halfway over, but I didn't want to let the year end without sharing everything I read in November!
Growing up, Advent calendars were a big deal in our house - we'd have homemade ones that would be filled with little trinkets.
I had another great month of reading in October - it felt like a good mix of genres, and I really enjoyed so many of them!
