And that ends my 2025 reads!!!

All in all 154 reads, 146 of them from the library. 56 reads from my TBR and 10 DNFs that I didn't bother listing. And finished 4/6 reading challenges ❤️📚

Public libraries are a godsend, saving me over $2,660 dollars with just the ebooks, audiobooks, and comics borrowed. I have no idea how much they saved me in movies and music 🤣 but probably a lot too.

Here's to more library borrows and reading in 2026!

A new year & a new nonfiction challenge! #Nonfiction2026

This year we are going to take a deep breath and remember what people fight for, the good things, the things we do not want to lose, the old friends & new acquaintances of Auld Lang Syne, our passions & loves, escape the grind & news & “touch grass”.

As always, fill these any way you choose that works for you.

There's nothing more magical than New York in the snow. This morning, I'm alternating between flipping through these pages and looking out my window at “the real thing“ 😅(by the end of this storm, we're expecting eleven inches here in NYC).

This is a coffee table featuring photos of gargoyles and grotesques from cities across the US accompanied by an essay by Stephen King.

The stars of the show here are the photos, some of them beautiful and some truly creepy. I like the idea of gargoyles and grotesques hiding up in the skyscrapers of New York City. I‘ve been there. Did I notice any of them? Nope. But I‘d sure look now if I went back.

King‘s essay is long-winded at best.

Wow what a cool book about the man who took pictures of snowflakes! Mr. Bentley was fascinated with snow so much that when he received a camera as a gift, he perfected taking pictures of snowflakes. Pretty illustrations and a wonderful story.

We‘ve been conjuring up ❄️ snowflakes here. These are made with paper lunch sacks, brown or white.
