I loved the graphics that Goodreads did for our year-end wrap up 🤩 As a visual person this was so much more fun!! Hoping for some more great reads in 2026 🥳🤩😍

My year in books on Goodreads.

Suggestions!? So this new 2026 book log I bought has a section where you can color code track a stat or theme, I am asking for suggestions on what to track. There are 3 stat trackers, and as I only read about 50-55 books a year, with 384 boxes I need to track something that shows up multiple times in a book. For 1 of the 3, I‘m tracking Inns/Taverns, and event tropes that happen in them. Fights, lovemaking, story reveals, etc. Help with other 2?
The world I live inside. I can‘t wait to see where 2026 takes me in books. I‘m continuing to go through my books at home—reading the neglected, packing what I want to keep, donating the rest to little free libraries and gifting to friends. I believe this is the year my husband and I will finally be moving to the north…and I am so excited at the thought of raiding new libraries! I still have so many more books to go through—let‘s get to reading!
It is officially 2026 here. So just wanted to put this out for anyone that wants to join in. #BookishMonopoly
Everyone is welcome at any time. Love to see ur boards if u make ur own.
Finished one more for the year making that 239 books read
Trying to set up my 2026 reading calendar at the last min. Hope everyone is having fun. 😋
#Top25of2025 Part Two
These 11 books were the best of the 135 books I‘ve finished in 2025.
Happy New Year!
#DashingThruDecember #Silver I cannot remember a time when this cookbook wasn‘t in my moms kitchen. The silver Jubilee edition of the Super Market Cookbook . A few years ago she passed it on to me . Happy New Year‘s Eve everyone! 70 year old cookbook 😱
#Top25of2025 Part One
This was a weird reading year. Lots more fluff than normal but I still managed to read some great books.
These 14 books ranked 4.25 and 4.5 🌟
I enjoyed a good number of great books again this year, here is a sampling of my five star reads. I‘ll tag them in the comments for your convenience.
Sweet little Rumpel still LOVES perusing my bookshelves for her next favorite read! 😻 #catsoflitsy #rumpel
Probably “Savor” or “The Purpose Driven Life” because I‘ve been in the middle of both of those since 2020…🤣🙃😅🥴😂
While I‘ve had my times this year of days without reading… I think I‘ve done a good job getting through my tbr pile this year… (but I don‘t know what happened, the number of books on my tbr are still high 🤦🏼♀️📚) I feel good with the number of books I‘ve read though… I don‘t know why my September read aren‘t there and others months are off 🤦🏼♀️
Almost 2026, whattttt? Post your list if you haven‘t, and if you already have, yay! Important housekeeping thing though - if you‘d like to be removed from my tag list, let me know! And to those who want to hang around, thanks! 😊 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

TODAY‘S PROMPT: SILVER
I didn't manage to get to 20 but I will try again next year. 🤞
My goal was 70 but I think I have done pretty well considering my twins turned 1 this Halloween and I have gone back to work after maternity leave. I will try for 70 again next year 🤞
To all my friends from #MidwinterSolace #NaturaLitsty #VirginiaBloomsberries #StorySpins #TheLittensSociety I wish you all a Happy New Year.
I will be back in a few days.
My apologies @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit
I read 5 books in December. My favorites were Meditations and Best of Luck 💚
2025 reading stats.
I surrendered to the fact I that even though I had brought 5 books to the family Christmas vacation, I also immediately fell ill & my head literally and actually did not end up clear enough to read for the majority of the week.
So 9 books it is & they were 9 really awesome ones that made me feel seen, known and represented while simultaneously stretching & growing me.
8 more than 2024.
My sights are set high for 2026!!
The last monthly stats for 2025
I read 158 books in 2025. 79 were books I owned, 27 were for #Roll100 and 22 were #ARCS
I donated 84 books and bought 21. I received 3 as presents in December
I definitely need to sort the numbers out so they aren't as wobbly, that really bothers me
#2025Stats
Seen on FB. Artist unknown. This is what a wonderful childhood night looks like!
Definitely going to be reading this one!!!

These are the books I‘ll be working on next. Starting with my current read Forever Odd, which I‘m hoping to finish before the year ends.
#Welcome2026Readathon
Just started this one today, latest in the series.
Now if I could just choose an audiobook to listen to during chores/crochet time I'll be all set lol
