*Libby: Currently on my 3rd audio of the year
*Mornings when I go to Caribou for my first coffee of the day & a couple of hours later hit up Dunkin Donuts before a library run for an iced latte with an occasional kolache (which for the life of me, I ALWAYS end up pronouncing kolochka & then have to endure the D&D smirks... like, I know I'm not pronouncing it right but in my mind it *should* be kolochka)
*Received a pay raise today 🎉

journey through the stacks;
find a quiet nook and curl
up with a good book. 📚

4 ⭐ I read this when it originally came out, but I loved rediscovering it in graphic novel format. This really hits home with kids learning the message about book banning and why some people want to do it and why you shouldn‘t. Just like the first one it‘s a great companion to the original chapter book series, and I hope they continue to make every book in the series into a graphic novel .

Yes, all these library books came home with me! Quite the #bookhaul!
Our library allows us to check out 100 books at a time and automatically renews checkouts 3 times if no one has a hold on them. #LibraryLove 💜💜💜
And that ends my 2025 reads!!!
All in all 154 reads, 146 of them from the library. 56 reads from my TBR and 10 DNFs that I didn't bother listing. And finished 4/6 reading challenges ❤️📚
Public libraries are a godsend, saving me over $2,660 dollars with just the ebooks, audiobooks, and comics borrowed. I have no idea how much they saved me in movies and music 🤣 but probably a lot too.
Here's to more library borrows and reading in 2026!

Just was not happening for me.

Lovely read.
Can also rec the damson gin liqueur (Skye distillery)
