End of Summer Readathon: Day 3

What is the goal today? Idk. Lol. I have some errands to run, but aside from that, no clue. Definitely read another 100 pages of the Dungeon Crawler Carl book, and maybe do a craft. I might play some Resident Evil as well, which isn't cozy, but I can't get enough of Leon 😆 Plus, killing zombies is very satisfying 😌

Thursday - 9am
I need to get out of bed and get ready for the day 😅 So far I've only checked the shops in Tomodachi Life. Lol. Here's a gem from when I played last night:

Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil got Jill Valentine (also from Resident Evil) to become friends with Barbie over talking about bringing down the patriarchy... I love this for them 🤣 Anyway, I'll be back later once I've done something productive with my day.

Thursday - 2:30am
I got more embroidery stuff in the mail today! Yay!

 

That's mostly what I've been doing today, though I did force myself to take a break because last time I finished a hoop in two days, I gave myself a migraine 😅 I also read a couple pages of my book, we had a visit, and now I'm going back to my embroidery before I have to go out and run some errands.

Let me know what you've been reading this Summer!

End of Summer Readathon: Day 2

Okay, the goal today is to get out of the house. That's it. Lol. And read, of course. Lol.

Thursday - 9am
I woke up like an hour ago and I've just been in bed checking my shops in Tomodachi Life 😆

Edward Cullen and his Dungeon Crawler Carl reference 😂

But I finally got up and I'm getting ready to leave the house! Shocking, I know. I just like being home, okay? 😆 Today I'm going to a neighboring town and checking out their library, bookstore, and a coffee place that's near the bookstore. If I stay long enough, I might have lunch in town at a drive-thru place I haven't been to in quite some time.

Thursday - 2:30pm
Okay, I'm back and I have read about 85 pages so far today. My goal is to read a total of 100 pages today, so I'm almost there.

 

So I went to this little town that's about 30 minutes away from where I live, and I just love it there; it's so cute! I don't go there nearly enough. But I went to this coffee place and got a snickerdoodle cookie and a chai latte with oat milk (that's my go-to order because I'm not a big coffee person... I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD, and that stuff puts me right to sleep 😂). I read for a while, until they opened the bookstore downstairs at 11am. It ended up being a secondhand bookstore, so there wasn't a big selection of books. I wasn't there for very long.

 

Then I went to the new library building in town and it's so nice! It's a small town, so this is a small library, but the interior with the lodge vibes 😍 I sat here and read for a while too, until I got hungry. Lol. Then I went to the local burger place I mentioned, where I actually had to wait 30-ish minutes for the food, which was fine because that meant more reading time. Lol. And it was worth it because it was SO good! I had not been there in YEARS, but those might be some of the best burgers I've had. Lol.
And now I'm home... and idk what to do. Lol. Hmm. I think I'm going to make a giant pitcher of tea (I have a bunch of loose-leaf tea that I need to go through. Lol.), and then I might attempt that crochet project I mentioned yesterday. After that, I might read some more and then play a video game? Idk. We'll see. Lol. But I'll be back with an update!

Thursday - 9:30pm
I don't know what happened to the time 🫣 I sat to crochet for a bit, and before I knew it, I finished the whole thing!

 

This happens to me a lot, this hyperfixation. Lol. But look at how cute he is! A little lopsided, but I love him! Lol. I have one more crochet project, which I may do tomorrow.

 

Oh! The iced tea is in the fridge! I decided to go with this mango fruit punch from David's Tea. I also freaking love this pitcher! It is specifically for infusing tea! It's so handy when you want to make a batch of iced tea. Which I do in the Summer. Lol.
Reading-wise, I am on page 302, so I read just over 100 pages today again! At this point, I'm over the halfway point. I'm really enjoying this book! But that's it for me tonight because I guess I do have time blindness after all? 😅 Anyway, I'm gonna go play Tomadachi Life, and I'll be back tomorrow with more reading... and other things! (Don't know what yet. Lol.)

Let me know what you've been reading this Summer!

End of Summer Readathon: Day 1

I am back! Or, at least, I'm hoping to be back. Lol. I haven't been up to much aside from work 😪 but I have the next week off before school starts back up for my patient, and I would like to do some fun things (and hopefully, finally, get out of this reading/blogging slump)! Also, I don't know how long this readathon is going to be, so I'm just gonna go day by day and see what happens. Lol.

Monthly Wrap-Up: July 2026

And another month of a reading slump passes by 😪 I'm trying, but I just can't seem to shake it off. However, in July I read 6 books, which is 2 more than the previous month, and 1096 pages, which is about 100 pages more than the previous month. That being said, most of these books I read in one day during a readathon, sooo 🤷‍♀️😂

• 5 were full-length novels, and 1 was a manga
• 4 were part of a series, and 2 were standalones
• 4 were books I purchased, and 2 were from the library
• All 6 were finished copies
• 5 were physical books, and 1 ebook
• 5 were 4⭐, and 1 was 3⭐
• All 6 were traditionally published
• 1 was by a new-to-me author, and 5 were by previously read authors
• All 6 were YA
• All 6 were fiction
• 1 was action, and 5 were horror

Top 10 Most Anticipated Books of the Last Half of 2026

Putting this list together, I realized that I don't have that many 2026 books on my TBR. I'm gonna have to go and do some research to see what's coming out 😅
