2025 Reading Challenge Update - March

I was way more productive this month than I thought I would be.  I filled four new letters on the Titles and one on the Authors.  The Rainbow only has one color left before theres one in each.  Thank goodness I have several months left before I have to resort to browsing the libray based solely on certian colored book covers.

I may be cheating a little as I added a book that I am almost done with because I'm writing this update early.  Busy traveling next week.

I read some really good ones this month.  The front runners being Nightbane, The Grandest Game, and The Betrayed.  I'm a logic puzzle fan so Jennifer Lynn Barnes is speaking my language right now.  The other two are sneaking up on me because I'm finding out I'm a fan of complicated relationships that shouldn't work or are in denial.  I'm embarrassed to admit that I might be becoming a hopeless romantic.

Is it ok that I'm putting these covers on colors based on vibes?  Looking at Nightbane and The Grandest Game I feel like I could've put them on either color, blue or black.  But The Grandest Game just says blue and Nightbane says black.  I can't decide if I'm putting them on based on what's in the background or foreground.

Anywho, what are you reading?  Have you read any of these?  Have any suggestions?

Blogging From A to Z Challenge

So years ago when I first started blogging I found out about this website that ran a challenge, in April post on your blog with a theme based on each letter of the alphabet.  Well, on the busiest month of the year for me I have decided to take the challenge again.  My theme?

"Hey Siri?" - Asking my phone for random words and seeing what I can write with them.

I realize there may be some confusion between 'Blogging A to Z' and my Reading A to Z challenges.  Hopefully it's not too confusing.

Anyone else up for a challenge?  Let me know if you'd like to join me or will be following along.

2025 Reading Challenge Update - February

A monthly update halfway into the next month.  I'm a teacher.  Don't come for me on late updates. I'm just trying to survive.

But it was another lovely month of reading.  A lot from Kiera Cass just as I had a double feature of Rainbow Rowell last month.  I tend to read like I eat.  If I have a taste for it I'm eating it for weeks straight and then one day just be done.  Kiara Cass is another reread for me.  Fun Fact: When I started reading the first of the series, The Selection, for the very first time I thought it was ridiculous.  It felt like a mash up of Hunger Games and the reality show 'The Bachelor' and I was laughing at it and cringing.  Then I found myself several books in later and invested.  I went to buy I believe The One at a book signing.  So glad I got into her series and her other stories.

I can officially scroll unworried on social media because yes, I have finished Onyx Storm. Please send me all of the theories that you have but respect spoiler bounderies for others.  I will not hold it against someone if they haven't read it yet.  I only got it as soon as I did because I have the greatest friends that know my little reader heart and heard my despair as I lemented how long I'd have to wait for it at the library and one of them bought it for me.  I almost cried.

As the other books this month are all rereads I think that I'd have to choose Onyx Storm as my favorite this month just purely because it brought new feelings rather than rekindled the old ones that I have for my rereads.  You know what I mean?  Just sounds fair.

Updated pictures below.  Little pictures are books I read last month and the big ones are this month.  For author and title, the red names are last month and the blue the new adds.  I honestly think I have my work cut out for my on the A-Z's.  Any recommendations?

Until next time!
