Well, 2025 is left in the blink of an eye. When I first started the year, I wanted to get more done and stay on track. I could get mostly caught up on what was needed for my Instagram and here. Monthly wrap-ups took a hit, but my reading improved slightly. That's with only a few books over my 2025 goal. My goal was only 12 books for the year. I read over that in a few books.
But as my year wraps up, I aim to complete more of the reviews in 2026. But mainly, my Grandma needs my mom and me for the summer of 2025. Family came first, then reading. Though I did okay. I hope to resume monthly wraps starting next year. A New Graphic will be made once I post this, or if I have time before the year is out, I will create one.
I had a reading goal of 12. I read 15 books this year. Congrats to me. I have read 3 books so far this year, exceeding my 2025 goal. My first book of 2025 was The Rise and Fall of Miss Fannie's Biscuits by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Martha Bolton, and my last book of 2025 was Bring Her Home by David Bell.

My mood read for the year was up and down. I read every month, but my pages were all over the place, and they were up and down. I had a reading goal of 12 and read 15 books in total. I had a goal of 1000 pages and read over 3,231 pages.

The genre I spent the most time with is 2025, as shown in the graph below.
Here is my mood in what I read according to StoryGraph. Which was up and down, looking bumpy at times, but mostly lighthearted throughout 2025.
I hope you all have a wonderful year of books and reading in the year 2026. Hopefuly it not a crazy one again.
