My new stretch reading goal for 2026 is 100 books. I think I will make it, because by the end of May, I will have completed 72 books. I had fourteen books planned for May, but I only read twelve, since I had such a […]

My May Reads – 2026. What a mess.
May was a tough month. It was, personally, one of the worst months of my life. And it was a rugged reading month over all. I struggled in a number of ways. A week in, the reading plan changed drastically. And I still had problems […]
My April Reads – 2026
April was a strong reading month for me, despite two weeks of travel. I actually tend to read more when I am traveling. Once I am in that hotel room, I don’t have many distractions from my day to day life, and the page count […]
My May To Be Read Pile – 2026
In 2026, I had originally planned to read at least 52 books. In April I surpassed that goal, despite wrapping up my editing project and traveling across the country for a writing conference for two weeks. I still haven’t decided what my stretch goal will […]
My March Reads – 2026
Despite reading fewer books than February, due to my end of the month editing deadline (which I met), I still read quite a few of the books on my March TBR, plus a few more. I read 12, pushed two to a later month, started […]

My March To Be Read Pile – 2026
In 2026, I plan to read at least 52 books, for one per week, and due to some amazing procrasti-reading in January and February, I have only 21 left. I read 19 books in February, but realistically, I need to dial that back in March […]
My February Reads – 2026 – Part One
In 2026, I plan to read at least 52 books, for one per week, and I did so well in January I only had 40 to go. February was even better. I will have finished 19 books, leaving 21 to go. I have been on […]
My February To Be Read Pile – 2026
In 2026, I plan to read at least 52 books, for one per week. I finished 12 in January, instead of the 7 I originally picked, so there’s only 40 to go. I exceeded my reading goal in January, but it doesn’t look as easy […]
