I got a little more reading done in September than I did in August, but only because I leaned into romances. This academic reading is no joke ya’ll—if I added that in you’d think all I did was read for the entire month! It also didn’t hurt that we were on vacation for the first week or so of September so I got plenty of reading and knitting done without adorable puppy interruptions.

August Recap 2022
The thing about getting a puppy is that they take up all your time! When you add in that August is traditionally a busy time at work, we had a vacation starting at the beginning of September, and school started in early September, it’s no wonder I’m just now getting this posted. You’ll just have to appreciate the three adorable pictures of Barnaby the Bernedoodle to make up for it (and the almost total lack of reading this month).
A Dozen Years of Book Blogging
What a year it’s been! Since last July, I finished a graduate certificate, started an MA program, and got a promotion at work. We traveled more than we have in the past two years, got COVID (ugh) from traveling, and as I’m typing this I’m in the airport waiting to hop on a last-minute flight to Chicago for a work thing (I don’t usually travel for work).
I’ve also read 116 books! That sounds like a lot, but it includes so many romance novels, quite a few graphic novels and manga, and not enough nonfiction, which is par for the course these days. That being said starting school again I’m sure I’ll be reading quite a bit of nonfiction but not blogging about it since it’s more long passages and chapters than entire books.
June Recap 2022
What a month! It started with us getting Covid from our trip to Texas (not bad cases, just knocked us out for a few days), was immediately followed by my graduate school program starting in the middle of makeup events at work from the last two years, with a birthday trip for Tim (thankfully drivable this year to Upstate NY), and the busiest time of the year at work in general for me (end of the fiscal year).
December Recap 2021
What a year! I’m not going to reminisce on yet another year spent in WFH and watching idiots around the country protest things that are designed to keep them safe. And honestly, I’m debating on if I’m going to do my usual Year-End recap (it’s a lot of work!).
I had big intentions of finishing 5 more books than I actually finished and getting them posted before 12/31, but when work gave us an extra week off (even though I had to work for a chunk of it) my schedule and plans got tossed out the window.
