i grew up pretty clueless about most pop culture, but in my adulthood, i’ve loved catching up with the shows, movies, music, and other trends i missed over the years as well as what’s popular now, and then learning more about the key people in the midst of it all. when celebs release memoirs and spill the tea (or some heavily filtered, still very one-sided, definitely strategic and not always totally honest version of it), i am HERE FOR IT, especially when it comes to actors, musicians, and bachelor nation stars. JUDGE ME IF YOU MUST.

It’s officially (a little more than) halfway through 2021, and I have read 95 books so far, with 22 of them rating 5-stars! I rounded up my halfway top 12 books (I know the trend is to pick 10, but that was too hard!) — all were 5-star favorites, all are books I highly recommend, and hopefully they reflect diverse reading options and authors, too!

Phew, the year ended in a bit of a frenzy, with lots of Christmas craziness (did you know it’s SO FUN and SO MUCH WORK to be on staff at a church in December?!?!??) and lots of great, fun books.

You know those months where you just want to read books that feel good? That was me this November. Romances + mysteries + a few non-fiction reads to inspire and motivate, and I was a happy little reader this month!

October, I love you so much. Thank you for bringing fall leaves and fall weather (FINALLY) and the end of spooky season. Thanks for all the books and for new mystery series and for really good YA reads. You’re my favorite.

In my efforts to avoid any and all outdoor activity since September decided to be hotter than summer, I read like 5 million books this month, so there’s lots to share here!

July was full of so, so many library books (SORRY, books i already own! i promise i’ll read all of you eventually!) and lots of Colleen Hoover and mostly easy, breezy romances… but hey, it’s summer, so NO SHAME.

Ahhhh, sweet summertime. Wait, just kidding — this is my least favorite season by FAR. Thankfully, though, the days are longer and the extra sunlight motivates me to read even more than usual…

This month was full of SO MUCH READING and so many fast, fun, kick-off to summer books, and lots of YA, and a few duds too… but it was SOLID. The stack of books got a little out of control by the end of the month, but that’s the best problem to have, am I right?! Here’s to even more reading this summer!

I did not read much at ALL this month. Even though I got through 8 books in total which doesn’t seem THAT far off from my goal of 10, many of this month’s reads were short ones (young adult, middle grade, and quick creativity books that were very fast reads!).

It’s been a BUSY month and I have had wayyyy less reading time, but am still so proud of getting through as many books as I did!

This month had a healthy mix of real winners and total duds, but I’m proud of how many books I got through in this shorter month!
