Looking Back on My Reading Goals of 2025
Over the past few years, I’ve always kicked off the new reading year with one enormous post packed full of statistics, graphs and numbers about my reading habits from the year before. That single monster post combined everything at once: a review of my reading goals, an in-depth analysis of my stats, and the setting of new goals for the…

Read in December 2025
Before diving into my in-depth reading statistics for 2025, I first want to take a moment to look back at the books I read in December. A final reading month to close out the year, and one that felt surprisingly well balanced. In total, I read 8 books in December, amounting to 2930 pages. That brings the average December book…

Read in November 2025
November was shaped by an unexpected trip and being busy making Christmas gifts. As a result, I reached for audiobooks more often this month — the perfect companions while crocheting or knitting. I didn’t really have a set TBR for November. Instead, I let myself be guided by my unfinished reading goals (continuing series, books from subscription boxes), atmospheric picks,…

Read in October 2025
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…

Read in September 2025
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…

Read in August 2025
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…

Read in July 2025
Summer used to mean more reading time for me, but in recent years, that pattern seems to have reversed. 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. Not so much in the number of books read, but in the…

Faith Fall Along #4: Wrath
Although I finished this fourth and final installment in The Faithful and the Fallen well in time for the #FaithFallAlong liveshow hosted by Becca’s Catch-up Bookclub, I already knew I wouldn’t be able to join the live discussion because I was travelling at the time. Maybe that’s why I ended up postponing writing this review for so long—something I’m now…

The Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2025
For years now, every July I’ve seen one BookTuber after another tackle the famous Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag, originally created by @EarlGreyBooks. It’s the perfect way to reflect on what you’ve read so far, what’s still on your TBR, and which books have stuck with you — whether in a good or… not-so-good way. Recently, I also came across…

Halfway through reading year 2025
The end of June means we’re already halfway through 2025! An ideal time to review my reading goals and see how well (or badly) I’m doing so far. I’m not going to deny that I’ve read quite a bit. I know I read more than the average person, but I still like to set myself a few extra challenges each…
Charlotte on crocheting, knitting, reading and such
