I still have a few things I need to do. The #roll100 numbers have been picked already but I didn‘t make my list yet. Once I make my list, I can change out the books if I need to throughout the year.

- Make my #roll100 list
- Make my #bookspinbingo & #readyourkindle lists
- Make my #bookspinbingo board
- Decide which book series I want to finish this month for #serieslove2026

I filled out some pages in my 2026 Novelly Yours reading tracker. I made some reading goals for myself, picked some book series I want to finish and picked some backlist and older books on my bookshelf that I want to read and chose books I want to read for the 26 in 26 challenge. It was hard to decide which 26 books to pick because I might not read all 26 books. It‘s hard to say. I guess it could be considered a list of possibilities.

I‘ve decided that I‘m going to start this book next. We‘re reading this for the #litsyirregulars book club. Our book club reads books inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Our discussion for this book is on January 31 so I need to read it this month. I‘m interested in reading this.

Here‘s my review for this book I finished reading at 4 AM. I was very tired yesterday from going out to lunch but I was ready to finish this book because it was sitting on my currently reading shelf on Goodreads for too long.

Here‘s my progress on the #realmofelderlings buddy read. I‘ve read Assassin‘s Apprentice and I just finished reading Royal Assassin. I‘m going to take a break from Fitz for a while by reading some other books and then when I‘m ready, I‘ll start reading Assassin‘s Quest.

I just finished this book. I‘ll have a review posted online tomorrow. I‘m too tired to write a review tonight. I have the last book in this trilogy to read next that also follows Fitz but I‘m going to read something else because I want to take a break from Fitz for a while. When I‘m ready, I‘ll start the next book.

I‘m on StoryGraph. I saw people on here sharing their accounts so I decided to share mine.

Yay!

I read this story tonight in my devotional. This story stands out to me because it‘s about books and reading and I love reading.

Here‘s my review for this devotional I just finished reading.

Yay!

I participated in #serieslove2025 and I finished reading 5 series that I had in progress. I wish I could‘ve read more series because I have a spreadsheet full of series I have in progress but I was able to delete 5 series from that spreadsheet so I‘m happy about that. One of my goals that I try to work on every year is to finish series.

I‘m sharing this grid I colored in for my 2025 book hauls from each month. It represents how many books I bought each month. This is from my Novelly Yours reading tracker. Each month has a different color.

January - Blue
February - Pink
March - Green
April - Purple
May - Orange
June - Yellow
July - Pink
August - Light Blue
September - Purple
October - Black
November - Brown
December - Red

Yay!

I‘ve also decided to start reading this devotional. I own this version of this devotional but I also have the 2025, 2026 editions too. I‘m starting with the 2024 edition since I never read it in 2024. I like this devotional so far. This devotional will take me all year to read.

I‘ve decided that I want to read the Bible for a year this year. I have this Daily Bible from Guideposts that I bought a year ago. I‘ve started reading it and so far, I like how it‘s written. I read the whole bible back when I was a teenager. I had a study bible for teenagers that I was reading but it wasn‘t very engaging to read. This one is different because it‘s written in a way that you can read it from the beginning to the end.

I wanted to share this from my 2025 Novelly Yours reading tracker. I thought this feature was really cool. I liked watching the Author Talks my library hosted online. If I‘m interested this year, I might watch some more Author Talks.

Here‘s some 2025 stats from my Novelly Yours reading tracker.

Here‘s my December #bookhaul shared from my Novelly Yours reading tracker. I have the 2026 reading tracker that I‘m going to use for this year and then I‘ll figure out if I still want to keep buying the tracker every year or not. There are things I like about this tracker and it looks so cool when it‘s posted online but it takes me a long time to fill it out at the end of the year and at the end of the month.

I saw this meme on Facebook and wrote this #haiku about it.

Here‘s my #weeklyfavorites.

Week 1 - I finished reading The Phantom Of The Opera and now, I want to watch the musical on Amazon Prime and then watch the movie adaptation too.
Week 2 & 4 - I finished reading a Christmas devotional from Guideposts and I enjoyed it.
Week 3 - I finished reading this Agatha Christie book for #christiescapers
Week 5 - I‘m reading 2 books right now so I don‘t have any books to share for this.

Here‘s how I did on my December #readyourkindle picks. I only read 1 book.

Here‘s how I did on my December #readyourkindle list. I only read 3 books. I didn‘t read the first book but it‘s not a big deal because it‘s the #litsyirregulars book club pick and we‘re not having a discussion for the book until January 31 so I have plenty of time. I‘m going to add it to my January list and start it in January.

Here‘s how I did on my December #bookspinbingo board. I read 4 books.

Here‘s how I did on my December #bookspinbingo picks. These were mood reading prompts so I didn‘t read anything for them. I don‘t pick anything for mood reading prompts until I get ready to read something for them.

Here‘s how I did on my December #bookspinbingo list. I only read 3 books. It‘s not a big deal that I didn‘t read the first book on my list because it‘s the book we‘re reading in the #litsyirregulars book club and our discussion for the book isn‘t until January 31 so I‘ll be starting it in January and adding it to my January list.

I‘m getting close to being finished with this. I have 1 more story in this book to read tomorrow night on New Year‘s Eve and then I‘ll be finished. If I don‘t read it tomorrow night then I‘ll finish reading it on January 1st. I‘m going to be watching New Year‘s Rockin‘ Eve tomorrow night on TV. I probably won‘t be finishing this book tomorrow night or I can finish it before NYRE comes on and get a review posted online.

I colored this picture and wrote this #haiku about it. The only female knight I‘ve read about in books or seen on TV was Brienne Of Tarth from the Game Of Thrones tv series and the A Song Of Ice And Fire book series. Since Game Of Thrones, there haven‘t been any other female knights.

I read this in my evening devotional tonight from Guideposts.

Here‘s my review for this devotional I finished reading on Christmas morning.

For #5joysfriday, my mom and I went and walked through this thing called Path Of Lights. It‘s in the neighborhood next to ours. It‘s beautiful. It‘s been winning awards since 2023 and they keep adding on to it every year. My mom and I even took pictures with some of the inflatable decorations. These lights will probably stay up until January.

Christmas is over now but I still wanted to talk about how Christmas Day was for me even though I‘m tired.
