2020 August and September Wrap Up

Do you ever put off looking back on the amount of reading you’ve done recently, convinced that you didn’t do nearly as much as you’d set out to read? Stopped yourself from thinking about it because you’re just a little disappointed in yourself for being lazy – because that’s the true reason you didn’t pick anything up. It’s not like there’s not time to read with the way the world is right now…

Well thankfully writing this post surprised me with how much I actually managed to read over the last couple of months. I was convinced I’d read next to nothing!

In the month of August I certainly got more reading done than I have in the last little while. Part of it had to do with putting aside more time for myself, to try and not feel pressured to always be “on”. With the way things are in the world right now, it’s nice to be able to relax a little bit, distress and take things one step at a time. But because I was putting this time away for myself, I didn’t think about the reading I did during this time as… well, as counting more or less.

That isn’t to say it shouldn’t count. Any reading you do counts – newspapers, comics, flyers… it all counts because you’re using your brain to process words on a page. You’re reading! You’ve picked something up in the spur of the moment just because? It counts! You got halfway through a book and then decided that book isn’t for you? It counts! I just have to remind myself of that sometimes.

I also got a nice chunk of reading done in September. Hard to believe since I posted virtually nothing this month, but I’m actually content with the amount of reading I’ve accomplished. Here’s hoping that the amount of reading I get done can be translated in a decent amount of posts over the next little bit.

However, I still need to work on creating a consistent upload schedule. (So thank you for being patient with me while I figure things out.) I’m going to aim to have 3 posts uploaded a week in 2021, but I make no promises. I’d love to have consistent days on which I upload things, but for now the first step is going to be attempting to upload three videos a week. As you can tell, I’ve been slacking a bit the last couple of months. In the past I’ve had very unsustainable goals with my upload scheduling, so here’s hoping that this format will make it possible for me to find some consistency in my blog posts.

As always, here are some pictures of my pup, Yzma. August was pretty chill for her, September full of hikes and playdates. (Shameless plug for her adorable PupStagram account @YzmaTheHound):

2020 July Wrap Up

If the days haven’t started running together for you, I’m jealous. I can’t believe that it’s been such a long time since I’ve posted anything to this blog. I’ve certainly been reading slower than usual these last couple of months, but that’s no excuse to completely ignore things the way I have. Here’s my promise to you to get the reviews of the books I have read out sometime in the near future. I’ll find the motivation to actually sit down and write them instead of letting the words swim in my head.

As a thank you for coming back after such an extended absence, here are some pictures of my pup, Yzma. She had a great weekend at the cottage and discovered a love for water she’d never previously showed any signs of having. (Shameless plug for her adorable PupStagram account @YzmaTheHound):

Without further ado, here’s my reading stats for this month:

For reference: Physical books, eBooks, and AudioBooks. Library books.

2020 June Wrap Up

I know I’m not the only one, but the way things are in the world right now I’m finding it difficult to enjoy sitting down and reading as much as I used to. Of course I still enjoy immersing myself in stories, but it used to be such a relief to take a break from the world and dive into a world of mystery and intrigue. Now that I’m stuck at home most of the time it’s just not the same.

Plus the fact that my adorable little pup (who turned 1 this month!!!! Shameless plug for her adorable PupStagram account @YzmaTheHound) is with me almost all the time makes it harder to sit with a book. Sure she loves cuddling, but she also likes licking books… a habit I’m not quite to encourage. I’d much rather cuddle or play with my darling “little” girl than jump into a world I may or may not enjoy as much.

As always, here’s how adorable she was this month:

2020 May Wrap Up

I might not have gotten too many books read in the month of May, but I enjoyed everything I picked up. For that alone, I consider my reading in May to be a success. In addition the the books I speak about below, I also participated in the Asian Readathon. Here’s my 2020 Asian Readathon TBR and Wrap Up. 

I’ll admit, I also spent a lot of this month spoiling my puppy. Yzma got a new outdoor bed and she not only loved it outside but wanted to sit in it inside as well. Playing in the sun with her was also a great way to spend some time. I hope that you’ve got some space to play with a puppy as well – it’s certainly a great way to spend time!

2020 April Wrap Up

 

I have to admit, having so much spare time at home is wrecking my reading. I know that I have all this extra time to read now that I’m not going out to do things, but I’m still finding it harder to sit down and focus on a story. Where I used to be able to read a book in one sitting, no matter how engaged I am to a story, I find myself needed to get up and do something else. I guess working from home isn’t going to be a longtime goal for me – I like being able to separate my work time and downtime a little more.

Of course, Yzma is absolutely loving all of the time I’ve been spending at home. If she wasn’t a spoiled puppy before hand (and trust me, she was), she certainly is now! Daily puppy playdates (weather permitting) and lots of cuddles just makes her crave attention even more. I worry about how she’ll react to me going back into work full time, but that’s a problem for future me. For now, here are some cute puppy pics of Yzma enjoying her spoiled life.

2020 March Wrap Up

This month I certainly didn’t get as much reading done as I’d expected to do. Firstly, I ended up getting a concussion by tripping because I’m that klutzy. So I couldn’t really read much for a a little over a week. And it was a bit longer than that before I could sit down and focus long enough to get words together in a way that got my point across in an at least semi-understandable manner.

And then came the quarantine period and social distancing. I hope that everyone who reads this is doing well and taking the appropriate precautions. I hope that you stay healthy with everything that’s going on, and so does everyone around you.While

I might be an introvert, even I need to get outside every once in a while. I found myself being unable to focus on reading being alone so often. Sure, Yzma tried to keep me as sane as possible, but eventually I found it easier to stay at my parents’ place for a while as I work from home. Being around other humans helped keep me sane. It also means that Yzma gets to see her best friend on an almost daily basis. Thankfully, playing with him tires her out and gives me time to focus on my day job.

2020 February Wrap Up

This might be the shortest month in the year – though I did enjoy the extra day that comes with it being a leap year – but I’m already predicting that this is going to be one of my best reading months for the year. I didn’t get to as many books from my TBR for the month as I’d hoped, but I still manage to read a decent chunk of books. I certainly started some, but the downside of reading multiple books at once is that sometimes I get pulled into one world more than the others and those just… fall aside for a little bit. On top of that, I even managed to post a decent amount of reviews this month! (Links to those will be a little further down)

Oh, and as always I got to spend some quality time with my little stinker, Yzma. She even got to spend a weekend on a farm and get scared by chickens! She didn’t see any of them, but they were loud enough to startle her whenever she walked by their coop. Aaaaand I also might have been able to spend a little time with the cutest little lamb ever.

Yes the little lamb looks proud of herself for peeing all over the floor. Truth be told, she had the cutest little smile on her face and always looked proud of herself. Also lambs are loud when they’re looking for their “mum”. Also also, please ignore the used pee pads in the garbage can – 4 day old lambs pee a lot. Thank you.

2020 January Wrap Up

I have to admit, I didn’t read many of the books I planned to this month. Instead, I found myself getting pretty sick and not having the energy to read much of anything. That being said, I’m satisfied with the amount of reading I got done – all things considered. Sometimes all you need to do is sleep the week away because you’re not feeling well. Sure this cuts down on reading time, but it’s worth it in the end.

Oh, and I got a couple puppy cuddles so I can’t really complain too much.

December Wrap Up

Being the end of the year, I was really hoping to get some more reading done than I did. Of course, I made a pretty extravagant tbr for the month (December TBR). That isn’t to say that I didn’t get a decent amount of reading done, because I did, I just wish that the second half of the month went as well as the first half.

Sure, I should have expected that an increased amount of family time would decrease the amount of reading time I’d have… but I just didn’t put it together until it was too late. This is also the reason why only my pre-scheduled posts got uploaded after a while… sorry about that. I promise to do better come January (when I won’t be spending 2 full weeks with my extended family).

On the bright side, Yzma got lots of cuddles and lots of toys this holiday season. All of the playtime and excitement meant lots of naptime for this little pupper!

Without further ado, here’s my reading stats for this month:

November Wrap Up

Thankfully, I managed to start this reading month off with a bang. The very first weekend in November, I finished one story and picked up 3 more. While this might not seem like the best ratio, it worked out well for me. I enjoy giving myself a mixture of mediums to read from – it helps stop me from getting distracted all the time.

Sure, this whole month wasn’t the best for reading for me. Yet overall I know it was a decent month. I got a bunch of good reads in which means more to me than having a whole bunch of smaller, and worse, books completed. I hope I’m always a quality over quantity gal.

While Yzma is still in that excited puppy stage where she won’t let me sit and read in peace for longer than five minutes, I truly think I managed to get a decent chunk of reading done. Besides, puppy love is a welcome distraction from my reading goals. Especially when you get to play with said puppy in her first snowfall.

Without further ado, here’s my reading stats for this month:
