I've been in a bit of a reading slump over the last month or two, but I think (fingers crossed!) the slump has been broken. It definitely helps that there are so many books coming out right now that I'm excited to read! Here's everything I read last month.

April was not my best month for reading - not that the books weren't good (they were largely very good!), but I can just feel that I'm in a bit of a slump. I know it'll pick up eventually, so I'm just making sure to keep reading a little bit every day. And I'm picking up a few romcoms next, because that always works for me! But here's what I did read in April.

March started out really strong for me with reading, but definitely slowed down a bit as the month wore on. I also leaned really heavily on audioboks last month - it just felt easier at the end of the day to hit play and let myself be immersed in whatever story the narrator was telling me. I'm hoping to get back to a better balance of audiobooks and reading on my iPad in April (just a personal preference, of course audiobooks still count as reading!). Here's everything I read in March.

I'm a huge mood reader - I never plan out what I'm going to read next, but just pick up whatever sounds good to me at the time. In February, that meant a lot of romances, because I love reading them always, but Valentine's Day gives me the push I need to read more than usual! I also definitely found myself escaping into books last month to get a little break from reality. But it's okay, because a lot of them were really great escapes! Here's everything I read in February.

January was a great month of reading for me! I started out the month pretty heavy on audiobooks, and it was so cold for much of the month that I was in full-on hibernation mode. And not only did I read a lot, I really enjoyed what I read, too. Here's everything I read in January.

This is always one of my favorite posts to write! I love looking back on everything I read and seeing which ones stuck with me. When I pick favorites, I pick the books that made an impact on me - the ones that I'm still thinking about now, months and months later. 2024 was a really good reading year for me - not only did I read a lot of books I really loved, I also read a pretty good variety across genres! These are all my favorites from last year.

I read a decent amount in December, but had plans to read even more that were derailed by Covid. I actually re-listened to the first three ACOTAR books because I just couldn't focus on anything new! But I did manage to read new books, too, and even got to read some holiday books even though there wasn't a whole lot of festivity for me since the whole house was sick. With that in mind, here's everything that I read in December.

I love reading holiday books in December to help me get into the holiday spirit. This is my last week of work before the new year, and things are starting to slow down a bit. I'm looking forward to some cozy evenings spent reading! If you're looking for a holiday book to help you get into the mood, these are my recommendations, in completely random order.

This was a month of escapist reading for me - either into fantasy, romances, or other people's lives (memoirs). Truthfully, none of the books I read this month were absolute standouts for me! I enjoyed them, and they were solid, but none were five star loves. I did start to get into the holiday spirit with Make the Season Bright, though, and really enjoyed that. Here's everything I read in November.

October started out strong for me with reading - I had a lot of down time while I was on vacation to just relax and read! I think I made it through three or four books while I was away. I haven't quite kept up that pace back at home, but I still read consistently the rest of the month. Here's everything I read in October.
