October has always been one of my favourite reading months. Autumn simply creates the coziest reading atmosphere, and it’s the perfect time to reach for more atmospheric or spooky fiction. I didn’t manage to finish every book I had picked out for the month, but that’s perfectly fine. In the end, I still finished (or nearly finished) a lovely stack…

In September, I decided to focus primarily on finishing and catching up on series. I’d received several sequels in the preceding weeks, and instead of putting them off until I’d have to reread the entire series, as so often happens, I prioritised them this time. And with success: I finished not one, not two, but three series, caught up on…

August turned out to be another rather modest reading month, with even fewer finished books than in July. Still, I ended up with a slightly higher page count. I wrapped up the hefty sci-fi I mentioned back in July and filled the rest of the month with some lighter picks, such as a fantasy romance by a beloved author and…

Which makes sense: I’m away from home more often, doing more social things—and I’m ABSOLUTELY not sad about that, haha. Still, that made July a slightly quieter reading month.

June was an excellent reading month! At the beginning of the month, I took some time to review my reading goals and their current status. Based on that, I set a clear TBR, with the aim of keeping my reading statistics for the six months up to par. That focused approach turned out to pay off, because I read a…

May was again a rather lean month in terms of reading. In terms of numbers, I certainly read the fewest amounts of books so far, but thanks to the two huge tomes I managed to finish, it was not the lowest month in terms of number of pages. In May, I read a total of 5 books, which is good…

April really was a lackluster reading month. I don’t want to call it a reading slump, because I read a fair bit, but nothing really hit right. I never felt compelled to read and was often disappointed in the stories I read. Eventually, I did read a total of 10 books in April, good for 3236 pages. The average April…
