Next 5 TBR: Volume 4 — Femmeuary and Black History Month continued

Hello, biblios!

It might seem impressive that I got through five books in only the first 12 days of February, but two of those books were under 200 pages, so ... that helped.

So it's time for my TBR for the second half of Femmeuary and Black History Month. As noted previously, I'm combining these two observances and reading only books by Black American women authors this month.

I completely forgot to order a couple of them earlier in the month, though, so pardon my very basic photo artistry here, haha.

I am reeeeeally excited about all of these books, TBH.

Booktube Faves, Volume 4: SavidgeReads

Hello, biblios!

Sigh. As has become obvious, I am really bad with sticking to ... well, anything. I know hardly anyone is reading this, and it doesn't really matter, but I feel like such a loser for not even being able to get a couple posts up in a whole week. I mean, yes, my work is nuts and leaves me with little time or brainpower afterward. But still.

ANYWAY HI I AM HERE with another Booktube fave! Today, I am bringing you the adorable gay British joy that is Simon of SavidgeReads.

I love Simon's channel for so many reasons ...

Next 5 TBR: Volume 3 — Femmeuary and Black History Month edition!

Hello, biblios!

I'm really excited for my February TBRs. In the U.S., February is Black History Month. And on Booktube across the pond, the adorable Lauren of Lauren and the Books announced that she'd be observing Femmeuary.

"I will be reading, watching films, listening to music and just generally consuming ANYTHING I CAN GET MY MITTS ON stuff that makes me proud, empowered and delighted to be a woman!"

I am all about it, Lauren! So I thought I'd combine these two and read only books by Black American women authors in February. And I have some amazing looking books on my whole list.

Since I do my TBRs in groups of five, this isn't the full list but rather the first five I plan to read, and I'll see where we're at on the calendar once I'm done with these.

January 2018 reading wrap-up

Hello, biblios!

It's time for my very first monthly wrap-up — aren't you so excited?!

I like watching and reading people's wrap-ups because it's obviously a lot more interesting to find out what someone thought of a book as opposed to what they think they're going to think about a book, as you get in a TBR or haul or whatnot. Plus, it's a nice excuse to give yourself a little pat on the back.

I read 10 books in January — well, technically, 10.5. I did unfortunately DNF one book about halfway through it, the very last one I picked up. I'll include it in this post but only as a DNF — not in the demographic stats or the overall number of how many I read, nor will it count toward my yearly Goodreads goal.
