Similar to my 2025 Reading Wrap-Up, I wanted to give an update on my ongoing Project Pan & Use-Up! I know I gave a brief check-in in mid-June of 2025, but I did want to do a final check-in to see how I’ve been doing with using the makeup I Read more
So with the recent popularity of fantasy (or romantasy) book series like A Court of Thorns and Roses (a.k.a. ACOTAR), Throne of Glass, and Fourth Wing, it seems like this genre is really getting its time in the spotlight. This seems to be the prime time — especially on social Read more
Welcome to 2026! I hope you all had a great reading year and met your own personal reading goals! Now that we’re over halfway through January and I’ve had a chance to recover from the holidays, I’m excited to share how my 2025 went and what my plans are for Read more
Weekly Update #3 (Dec 7th): Hello! Long time no update, but I come bearing good news! Our holiday reads are going very well after a long Thanksgiving weekend with able time to read. I finished The Beast by Katee Robert, started and finished My Favorite Hero by Melanie Moreland (the Read more

Happy holidays readers! With the spooky season out of the way, it’s time to transition from our primary reading content and focus entirely on my other frequent genre of reading content. Once I decided I was going to read as many thriller/horror books as I feasibly could throughout October, I Read more
Final Update & Rankings: Happy Halloween everyone! It’s the end of October (beginning of November) and the end of the Spooky October Reading Challenge! I have to say, I overshot my reading time and abilities a little bit, but hey, why not shoot for the moon a little? In total Read more
Weekly Update #4 (Oct 25th): By now I’ve finished From Below by Darcy Coates and can add it to my list of completed books. It has the same ominousness of typical ship-sinking and cave diving stories, but isn’t as final and devastating as Among the Living. Still, it’s a take Read more
Weekly Update #3 (Oct 18th): Last weekend I finished Among the Living by Tim Lebbon and enjoyed it! Like I said it has many similar story and horror elements as The Thing (1982) and has quick pacing that keeps the adrenaline going. Since the book ends on water, I figured Read more
