• My 2025 Reading Review

  It has been a long year full of reading, from the light-hearted easy reads to the novels that took up more of my time and brainpower, and some surprises thrown in for good measure. 2025 has been a year I am unlikely to repeat again, and you’ll see why in a bit, so without further…

• My December 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: drained – safe to say the year has hit me hard, and I have found it quite difficult to stay engaged in my reading this month. I opted for several short reads and manga volumes to keep the reading bug fed, but even then, there have been days when I haven’t wanted to…

• My November 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: perplexed – this isn’t necessarily to do with my reading but my thoughts about how my reading has gone in recent months. I felt like I hadn’t read much this month, but upon closer inspection realised that not only have I in fact read above my average count, but enjoyed a lot of…

• My October 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall Mood: content – I have spent a lot of months recently reading a lot of books, so I wasn’t expecting to get all that many read this month. In fact, I was half expecting to have to ditch my Spooktober plan halfway through and make up a lot of discussion posts to stretch out…

• My September 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: rushed – given that I challenged myself this past month to reading classic fiction and dark academia fiction, this month has been a bit of a repetitive one in terms of themes, angles, and character tropes. I am glad I read these books, but it has impacted the way I read this month…

• My August 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: chill – it has been a busy month but one that came with a brake on the reading. I have enjoyed two months of full reading and now, with all the PhD stuff that took priority, I needed to put reading on the back burner. Once I was in the clear, I honestly…

• My July 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: calm – that seems to be the only way to explain how I managed to read 30 books this month. Yes, you read that right. I read 30 books in the month of July. What is important to know before you read the rest of this monthly summary is that a half dozen…
