My February 2025 Reading Summary
Overall mood: calm. I have done a lot this last month, from PhD work to fun reading, meetings and museum showcases, book reviews and project plans. It has been busy yet calm, almost comfortingly so. There’s just something about doing things that makes me feel relaxed and proactive. My reading has taken me through all…

My January 2025 Reading Summary
Overall mood: disbelief. 2025 feels like it has been a series of months: Holiday break, then moving back into work mode, throw in a ten-day indoor sentencing for the cat and suddenly three different months have happened in the span of 31 days. I have managed to get a fair number of books read in…

My September 2024 Reading Summary
Overall mood: dedicated, but a little distracted. There has been a fair number of interruptions to my reading this month, but I have not let them dissuade me from my books completely. Another day spent reading the same book here and there, maybe a few DNFs to keep the ball rolling when I would have…
