2026 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges

I was doing really great on my reading challenges... and then I got into a reading slump 😩 I think I'm still doing okay despite that, but I'm kinda afraid to look 😅

Dewey's Reverse Readathon: July 2026

I have been in a horrible reading slump ever since I was sick a couple months ago, and I still haven't been able to shake it 😖 One thing I feel like tends to help is a readathon, so this came around at the perfect time. I hope 😅 I could make the slump worse, but we're not going to talk about that. Lol.

2026 Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag

Okay, I'm finally here with the Mid-Year Freakout Tag 😅 I know I'm late, but I've just been in a horrible reading/blogging slump 😩 I usually look forward to doing these kinds of posts, but right now... yikes 😬
Anyway, a couple years ago I smooshed together the questions from the original tag created by Ely and Chami with the revamped version from Jesse the Reader, and I've been using that combo since.

Monthly Wrap-Up: June 2026

Another horrible reading month 😪 And you know what? I'm not even surprised. Lol. I just can't seem to shake off this damn reading slump 😭 There's a readathon coming up next week that I'm thinking of participating in, so hopefully that will help. But in June, I ended up reading 4 books... again. Lol. That was a total of 922 pages, which is 50ish pages less than the previous month 🤷‍♀️😂
