Quarterly Check-in

.Reading time 5 minutes.

Hello,

Welcome to another stat filled quarterly check-in. I am still slacking on the blogging front. I am hopeful — like always — that this will change as I get back into a routine now work is settled down and I’m on break from uni at the moment.

I am still reeling that we are already halfway through the year. Like where did the time go? To celebrate I am bringing the pie charts back! Yay for charts!

These stats look at all the books I’ve read in April, May and June. While I read them in 2022 not all the books have been released in 2022.

“Sometimes, even when you start with the last pages and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you.”    

I will start by saying that I was given an ARC will start by saying that I was given an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. These opinions are my own. Thank so much to the team over at Penguin Books and NetGalley for sending a copy my way!

Quarterly Check-in

.Reading time 5 minutes.

Hello,

I have really been slacking on the blog front. I am trying to get into the habit of writing more full length reviews so watch this space. This quarter has been crazy work wise and I started uni again so I didn’t want to add too much pressure to blog.

But to get back into the swing of blogging, I thought I’d share my reading starts for the first quarter of 2022 — I am still reeling that we are already 3 months into the year. That’s right I am bringing the pie charts back! Yay for charts!

These stats look at all the books I’ve read in January, February and March. While I read them in 2022 not all the books have been released in 2022.

“You know how I determine if something’s worth pursing? It’s Simple. It is if it makes me scared as shit. The best things in life exist on the other side of that fear.”

2021

.Reading time 11 minutes.

Hi all!

Since we are started a new year (which feels like it happened so quickly but also feels like 2021 went on forever), I thought I’d look back on my reading year with a survey.

I’ve adapted this from questions for Cait at paper fury. It looked like fun and the pie chats looked so cute. You will be glad to know that I found a way to simplify the pie chart making process, and now have a spreadsheet which I fill in throughout the year and it automatically makes the charts yay!!

Also this is for the all books I’ve read in 2021 so not all where released this year.

Quarterly Check-in

.Reading time 5 minutes.

Hello,

My reading has picked up this quarter – I would say this is largely due to fact that I have started a new job which means I am no longer working a crazy amount of unpaid overtime. I did fail on catching up with all my reading challenges but you win some and you lose some.

This series is one of my favourite I thought I get back into the swing of blogging with sharing my reading starts for the final quarter of 2021. That’s right I am bringing the pie charts back! Yay for charts!

These stats look at all the books I’ve read in October, November and December. While I read them in 2021 not all the books have been released in 2021.

“Much more than a year and a day has passed, but that does not stop them from remembering how to fall in love. Sometimes it takes coaxing and listening. Sometimes it takes laughter and tears. But the thread is there if you wish to lift it up to the light and follow it down whatever corridors of time it crosses through.”
