Here‘s my progress for #FabulousFebruary, which looks like a lot since I cheated and started a day early. I also read Father of the Bride, which isn‘t shown here. So far, my favourite is To Get To The Other Side by Kelly Ohlert. Tagged is my current listen. 😊

#Loveathon #readathon

Reading this one right now, and it perfect matches todays #loveathon prompts #ForcedProximitry. 💖 Trixie and Bear meet while she‘s racing around a busy road trying to catch an injured chicken. A week later, Trixie has to find a new place to live, or give up Chick Chick to someone who won‘t be able to properly care for her wounds. Thanks to some meddling sisters, and a hilarious ad in the paper, Trixie ends up on Bears doorstep.

Apparently I‘m sticking with the theme of unrealistic goals, but I had a hard time choosing a reasonable #FabulousFebruary TBR. Since I couldn‘t narrow it down any more, I went with a nice even 40. The remainder of my #BookSpinBingo list, some #ISpyBingo 📚 & the full Man of the Month Club series for #SeriesLove2023. Those 12 are pretty short, making this stack a little more attainable.

Oh yeah, I‘m breaking the rules and starting a day early.🤣

Woohoo! I always do my best reading during readathons, since I can‘t resist challenging myself with ridiculous goals. Starting Saturday, @Andrew65 is hosting his monthly 9 day #readathon, where participants choose their own goals. This month the tag is #FabulousFebruary 💚

Here‘s my February(#Loveathon edition) #BookBingoBingo in the right order. I‘ve been busy reading so I‘ve already finished 6 books on this list, but I‘m hoping to clear the board again this month! 💖💥

#BookSpin: Must Love Dogs… and Hockey
#DoubleSpin: The Proposal Playbook

It‘s been a long time since I‘ve really looked at my #litfluence, but yesterday I noticed I was coming up on 500k! Thanks to everyone who participates in the readathons and challenges I host. This truly is the BEST group of people ❤️

For the past few months I‘ve been taking screenshots of all the reviews that‘ve intrigued me. They‘re all saved on my phone for whenever I need a little reading inspiration, but now I‘m thinking I might make it into a little reading challenge during one of @Andrew65 ‘s upcoming 9 day readathons. 💖

Tagging everyone who‘s reviews I‘ve saved so far! ☺️

This one checks off a couple of #ISpyBingo prompts!

#questionmark #flowers #heart

I‘ve always heard such brilliant things about this book, and it did not disappoint. I‘ve previously read Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, and loved it, so I can‘t believe it took me this long to get to it. I finally picked it up for this months #FoodandLit, and plan to also read With the Fire On High by the same author.

Gosh, I love this cover. I‘ve been reading a lot more mystical/fantasy books lately, and I‘m still trying to figure out what I like and don‘t like. While I thought this would check all my boxes, it ended up being a 3.5 ⭐️ read for me. I‘ll still read the next in the series, but I‘m not itching to dig into it immediately. #whimsicalreads #buddyread #loveathon

This book had an adorable #meetcute. This one pulls on your heart strings, and features an overly excited dog and a goat dressed in pajamas. 💖

#loveathon

The last four prompts for #FourFoursin23! Thank you so much for hosting @Lauredhel 💖 This was a blast!

Third completed square for #FourFoursin23! All of these were brilliant, except for His Large Pizza - that was trash! 😂 @Lauredhel

@Lauredhel Here‘s the 2nd #fourfoursin23 square💖

@Lauredhel Here‘s my first four for #fourfoursin23 😂💖 my favourite of this bunch was probably Ace‘s Wild. 💥

@julieclair Happy Love Month! Here‘s your February #trappedonanisland picks. I have read and enjoyed the top 3 books, and were all 4-5 star reads ⭐️ I have The Little Bakery on Rosemary Lane on my shelf, and I‘ve seen so many raving reviews for Things we Never Got Over. Can‘t wait to see your reviews! Good luck, and happy reading! 💖

January was a savage reading month, thanks to the motivation of #Jumpstart2023, #JoyousJanuary, #20in4, #sharreadathon, #BacklistReadathon, and all the mini challenges that I‘m taking part in.

#Jumpstart2023 was SUCH a blast! 💥 Here is my January reading in pixels, with only one day where I didn‘t complete a book(& I don‘t feel bad about it since I worked a 16hour shift that day). I‘ll share all the books I read shortly, but for now I‘m just going to happily stare at this tracker. 😊

#BulletJournal #ReadingTracker #yearinpixels #annualreading @Lizpixie

Yes, I have a binder to track my reading, alongside my multiple #bulletjournals. Yes, I know I have a problem 😂 #listersgonnalist

I‘ve been using a multitude of different trackers to assist with my lofty reading goals this year, and these are some of my favourites. On the left is my monthly goals with circles to colour in as I complete them. On the right is two different ways to track my daily reading. So nerdy, but SO MUCH FUN! #Jumpstart2023

Starting what is sure to be my last audiobook for the month & #Jumpstart2023. Looking forward to this Rumpelstiltskin retelling.

Final #20in4 results. I had a bunch of great reads, and only one dud (Fourth Comings). My favourites were A Court of Mist and Fury, and The Moonlight Child.

The ACOTAR books are chunky, so I decided to pause after book 3, where Feyre‘s story ends. I‘m sure it won‘t be too long before I dive into the next book and read from Nesta‘s POV. For anyone that read book 1 and wanted a little more, READ ON, because book 2 & 3 are way better!

@Andrew65

This one was SO GOOD! When an older women heads outside to photograph the moon, she notices a little girl doing dishes in the neighbours home…. But the neighbours don‘t have a daughter, so who is this little girl? And why is she doing chores in the middle of the night?

Not really a mystery/thriller, but more of a suspense novel.

#20in4 #Jumpstart2023

Just a reminder that February has a second mini #ISpyBingo board for those who are participating in #Loveathon. Choose either one, or attempt both!

I‘m super excited for this one! ❤️

February is just around the corner, and with that brings a new monthly #ISpyBingo board! Can‘t wait to see what books everyone finds for these prompts.

Personally, I found street sign to be the hardest prompt, and Tattoos or Large Breed Dog to be the easiest! What about you guys? What prompts do you think will be the easiest to fill from your shelves?

I have high hopes for this upcoming month, and plan to average 3 books a day.😅 Overly ambitious? Probably, but I couldn‘t narrow down my list anymore, so I‘ll just try to read them all! 😂

Currently listening to the tagged audio, then onto a few mystery/thrillers before the month is up. February first brings all the romance for the start of #Loveathon.

January 30th to February 5th #weeklyforecast

A little mind-blowing that February starts in just 2 days, but I‘m excited for a month filled with love, love and more love. 💗

Here is part 3/3 of my #Loveathon TBR.

Here is part 1/3 of my #Loveathon TBR.
@StayCurious

Finished all but the 24 hour tagged audio, so I‘ll be bringing it into next week. These were read for #sharreadathon #20in4 & #Jumpstart2023.

They also counts towards various challenges: #ReadtheRainbow #SayMyName #MonthlyMayhem #ISpyBingo #SeriesLove2023 #Buzzwordathon #Foodie2023 #CozyReads2023 #ReadySetRead #AtoZlgbtq+ #DigitalCleanout

Day one of #20in4 was super successful - just starting the tagged audiobook, though I‘m not sure how far into it I‘ll read. So far the MC is super annoying, and I have a feeling I‘ll be bailing before long. 😒

Apparently I saved the longest for last, so hopefully tonight‘s shift is nice and quiet so I can make some decent progress. #Jumpstart2023 Sharreadathon

Jumping straight into book 3 of #20in4 while I head home from work. This is the oldest book on my #NetGalleyAudio shelf, so it‘s time to get to it. 💙

#sharreadathon @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #jumpstart2023 @Lizpixie
#20in4 @Andrew65

The writing was just as stunning as the cover. It‘s short, but it packs a punch. 4/5

#20in4 #sharreadathon #jumpstart2023 #NetGalley #ARC

The first finished for #20in4. I finished this audio in the wee hours of the night. Although I started ANOTHER series, I‘m counting it as a win since it‘s one more read from my #Chirp collection.

A cozy Murder mystery, set on a cruise ship. The amateur sleuth is a mystery writer, and uses her knowledge to help solve the crime. It was an easy, yet enjoyable read, and I‘ll continue on in the series.

#Sharreadathon #Jumpstart2023

Tentative plans for this months #20in4 Readathon. I work the next four overnight shifts, so depending on how busy this hospital is this will either go really well, or really terrible. Fingers crossed that I get a few quiet nights in there.

If I manage to get through these I‘m hoping to add another nonfiction to my completed #Jumpstart2023 reads. Possibly one off of my #CultBooks list.

Repost for next months #Loveathon reading prompts. ❤️

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that next month @StayCurious and I are hosting a month long romance readathon called #loveathon. Tag us in your reads, and join along in the daily reading prompts if you‘d like. 💖

Okay 😅 It was a struggle, but I managed to get my list down to 25 books for #bookspinbingo. My #loveathon TBR/Wishlist is probably closer to 75 books, but these ones are the ones that will work well with all the challenges I have going on.

Here are my upcoming plans for the year. I love having a monthly focus, and I find it helps with my reading productivity. By setting aside a week or a month to focus on middle grade, or ARCs, or chunky books i tend to do better with hitting goals, and avoiding slumps.

Not all of these events are hosted by me, just ones I plan to participate in. Check out the hashtags as the months get closer, if you‘d like to join along. ❤️

Completed #ISpyBingo board for January 🖤 Mirror Mirror knocked off the most prompts, with Teach Me following closely behind.

Tagged is my favourite of the bunch.

Progress for this weeks reading. Just started the tagged audiobook, and then planning on diving into The Quiche and the Dead.

I just surpassed 100 books read for #JumpStart2023, so for the remainder of the event I‘m just going to read whatever suits my fancy.

My favourite thing about this book is the cover. Everything else was mediocre and boring. 🫣

This was a trip! 🖤

Here‘s my progress so far with my chosen series for #SeriesLove2023! So far I have finished 3 series, and made progress in 2 more.

I‘ve also been tracking all books in series that I‘ve read this year. So far I‘ve read 45 books in series, DNFd 4 series, finished 4,& started 19 new ones.🫣

I have plans to read the whole Man Of The Month Club series next month, as long as finishing off Arizona Vengeance, Boston Classics and Hope Eternal Ranch.

Here‘s my #WeeklyForecast for the last week of #JumpStart2023. These will help to knock off a few more #ReadySetRead2023 prompts, as well as a few other challenges. Most excited for Go Hunt Me, and All The Dangerous Things.

I never used to pre-plan my reading, but I‘ve been doing weekly TBRs this month & it‘s been working really well for me. I‘ve been staying focused on my goals, and reading a ton. Going to try to keep up with it. 🧡

@aperfectmjk here are a few books I had on my phone that have driveways on the cover 😊 The Children on the Hill *might* be a pathway, but it kinda looks like a driveway to me. The tagged is on my list for February for another challenge, so I think that‘s the one I‘ll be going with. #ispybingo

So far the #BackListReadathon is going really well for me! I might squeeze in the last 2 Blake Pierce audios I have on my phone, but even if I don‘t Im super happy with how this week has gone! The tagged book was my favourite so far.

Can‘t wait to see what next months event will go, where I focus on Sawyer Bennett. 🖤 @TheAromaofBooks

#Jumpstart2023 @Lizpixie

I‘m not going to lie, I picked this purely for the cover! This has so many items on the cover that are in the #ISpyBingo prompt jar, that I‘m just waiting for the best month to read it. ☺️

Well after a whole 20 days, I broke this years #bookbuyingban, but these were all thrifted so I‘m okay with it. I got 8 books for $20, so I‘m calling it a win. Lights Out Tonight was picked up for a future #BackListReadathon where I focus on reading all my Mary Higgins Clark books. Curse of the Dream Witch was picked for #MiddleGradeMarch, and the tagged #NF looks right up my alley!

Today is the start of #Sharreathon, in honour of @sharread 💗 I‘m looking forward to reading in honour of my Litsy birthday twin. 🤍
