Christmas Reading Challenges 2025

I know, I know, I said I was tired of challenges, and I am, BUT, hear me out. I am tired of the ones I am already working on, I'm not tired of Christmas yet 😂. I am going to read Christmas books anyway, I might as well support some fellow bloggers 😁. So, I am going to try to finish up my other challenges this month, so that I can clear the deck to read as many Christmas books as my heart desires. This year has been super hard and I am looking forward to the hope/happy feels that Christmas reads generally bring.

September Reading Wrap Up 2025

I don't know how we are already at the end of August! I didn't have as many 5-star reads this month, but I still read a lot of good books. I read 17 books (1 reread) and had 4 DNF's and one two star read (which I don't talk about on here). Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Summer Reading challenges wrap-up post 2025

In addition to the 20 Books of Summer Challenge and Big Book Challenge, two of my blogging friends made a summer bingo challenge. I wanted to support them, so I attempted to find books that fit in their categories as well. Even though these challenges run a few more days, I am not likely to squeeze anything else in, so I am posting a few days early.

My original post for the 20 Books of Summer Challenge and Big Book challenge is here.

It's no secret that I have been trying to whittle down my physical TBR shelves, as
well as my Goodreads shelf (although I am continually adding to that one 😂).

Top Ten Tuesday-Bookish Goals 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Bookish Goals for 2025 (How many books do you want to read this year? Are you hoping to read outside your comfort zone? Are there books you meant to read last year but never got to? Are there new-to-you authors you’re hoping to read?) Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.   

How I did with my 2024 goals and some Stats

I did not do any reading challenges in 2024 and that was good for me. I did set reading goals and will work through each one so we can see how I did. Also, I will be sharing an overall look at my 2024 year of reading after the goals, so stick around and see some nerdy statistics 😉

Here WERE my 2024 Reading Goals:
