Reading Wrap-Up: January 2023

Reading Wrap-Up: January 2022

I read 9 books in January! What a great way to start the new year! Unfortunately, I didn’t have any 5 star books this month. I don’t know if I’m just in a slump from the weather, or if I just genuinely wasn’t feeling exceptional about these. Nevertheless, there are definitely some good titles within…

Reading Wrap-Up: November 2021

I read 5-books during the month of November. Teaching has been busy, as well as preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday, but I read an interesting variety of books when I could!

10 books. What a month! I am so lucky to have had ample time to read this month (although it’s never as much as I’d like to have), but I feel like 10 books will suffice… Here is what I read this month (with links to their Goodreads pages and stats on my star ratings…

Reading Wrap-Up: September 2021

September 2021 was a 5-book month for me. This wasn’t bad given the circumstances. To be honest about personal matters, my grandmother passed this month. I was traveling more than usual, trying to keep up with work, and coping with what was happening. However, that’s the beauty of reading. Books will never leave your side!…
