A bit less than normally, but been writing so much, and its extremely time consuming. So, I guess this is a good score after all 🥰
My StoryGraph wrap up is here! My reading was all over the place in 2025. Hopefully I can devote more time to quiet reading in 2026.
My 2025 reading wrap-up. I‘m still working on my faves for the year. Also looking forward to participating on here.
#2025Stats
My goal was 200 books which I surpassed with 249 books read. I am aiming to read at least 6 non-fiction books.
Thank you to our loyal followers who posted for our challenges during 2025! We look forward to your brilliant posts in 2026 🫶🏻
Happy New Year everyone 🥂🍾🎊🎶

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Wishing you all many blessings in the coming year
One of my biggest goals every year is to read from lots of different countries, and try to keep my US reading to under 50 percent of the books I pick up
It was tight this year, I clocked in 47% US based books/authors
But I did read from more countries than I have before (since keeping track)!
I read from 34 different countries this year with the biggest being:
England (26)
France (14)
Australia (7)
Hope to do better next year w/ the percentage!
Officially calling it. Read 240 books this year! #2025readingchallenge
Happy New Year! I have so appreciated you all this year, but did you have to post so many good books in your year end round ups? How will I ever read them all???
Happy new year everyone. Here‘s to a great 2026, filled with joy and happiness.
Happy New Year 🎊
* I‘m so sorry 🤣 someone had to do it 🤣 Especially everyone with IBS or IBD - I joined the club in 2025. The rest of you - yes, this is life to some of us. Happy New Year 🎊

We do not care that 2026 has (thankfully) finally ended because we still have three more years to go with #cheetosatan and his devilish crew. We are only 25% up the hill that‘s Everest, and we really want to put up our tent and hunker inside for a while. Still, we‘ll keep on fighting and resisting because IT‘S WORKING. Slowly but surely … it‘s working.

First #ReadYourKindle list of 2026
Taking part in fewer readathons this year so hoping I can concentrate on reading at least 2 picks a month.
@CBee
In no particular order, my top 12 from 2025 ( assuming I don‘t finish any more today.)

Another movie with a pivotal New Year's Eve scene. 🤩
What do these men want?
The lady or the money?
Or can they have both?
Yes, #juliarobertswasapawn #istilllovedthemove #thereisaidit
pickGood, quick history on Abraham Lincoln. I learned somethings I didn't know. For instance, he grew his bread because a little girl wrote to him and said she thought he ought to grow one. Hourly History writes quick synopsis of historical people and events.
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
Since I'm not likely to get in any more books before this time tomorrow, these will be my stats for 2025. It was an average year reading wise, and with ups and downs. Hoping for a more positive/level 2026, with at least the same amount of books 📚.
My kind of celebration 🎉💕
Reading Goals 2026-What are you most excited for?
Are there any goals for 2026 that you are really itching to dive into?
I think my most exciting goal is to read a lot by a few authors. This is totally different then how I normally read. Occasionally I pick one author and read 12 books of theirs in a year, but this year I am trying to move one author off my most read list, so I am focusing on a few people to bump that person down it should be fun!
#12BooksOf2025 - day 6 June
Book not in the database
I was genuinely obsessed with this book chain challenge. It was a fun way to restart my reading when I hit a bit of a lull or was overwhelmed by library borrows and didn't know where to start. I will absolutely participate if you decide to make one for next year @thearomaofbooks.

Once again, I will start the year off with all the ambition in the world to participate in many challenges/events. I will likely only participate a month or two like usual but it's still fun for me!
My 2026 #BookSpin #DoubleSpin will continue to be colours on the book cover - because I just love how it's still kind of random while allowing some flexibility in which book I read.
Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for hosting this fun event once again!
I don‘t really do New Year‘s Eve anymore, I like sleep too much. 😂
But every New Year‘s day, I like to do a little bit of as many of the activities over the year that have brought me joy. Reading, writing, baking, hanging out with family, chatting with friends.
This year may have been unprecedentedly bad, but I still managed to make joy for myself. & that‘s energy I plan to carry into 2026.
