December 2016 Wrap Up



Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you all had an amazing month!
I didn't have the greatest reading month but that's to be expected with all the holiday celebrations. I hardly had time for reading and I'm surprised I even finished a book.
I'm all ready for 2017 to begin so I can bury myself in new goals and new books and ignore reality as much as possible. 

Books I Read

Pages Read: 1529

Usually I would list all the challenges I participated in this year but I'm strapped for time right now so this is going to be pretty simple.


How did you guys do on your goals this month? What was your favorite book?

Books I Read in 2016 (on ListChallenges)


You didn't really think I was going to list all of the books I read here, did you? That would seriously take forever! Thankfully, there is a handy dandy interactive site called ListChallenges!

I'm a little obsessed with ListChallenges.com and have wasted countless hours there clicking books I've read on random lists. 
I really can't help it. I even use it to keep track of books I've read from specific popular lists like the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die List. 

I've been adding to this list all year and finally had a chance to publish it so I really wanted to share with you all and turn you onto this obsession of clicking so I don't feel so alone because it's awesome and reminds me of all the books I need to read.

StacyRenee's List of Books Read in 2016


Go forth and see how many of these 100 books you have read in the past!

 Now you get to see how many children's books I read this year.
No judging! They are really fun to read!

October 2016 Wrap Up


Happy Halloween! 
I'd love to say that I'm out trick-or-treating or at a Halloween party by the end of today but the truth is that I'm going to be at home watching Hocus Pocus, Nightmare Before Christmas, (and probably some Rob Zombie films after the little one has gone to bed) and munching on the little bit of candy we have for possible trick-or-treaters. 
October was a pretty good month for me, reading and life-wise. We had a few days of staycations where we visited the zoo, a pumpkin patch, and visited family. I ended up focusing more on reading than blogging so I'm behind on reviews and whatnot. I also spent a little over a week NOT reading so I think I did pretty good this month. 
I did spend a lot of time on my bookstagram and had a pretty dark theme that I'm thinking about continuing into November. I'm having a lot of fun with it and it has been a much needed creative outlet for me lately.

September 2016 Wrap Up



So this month wasn't any better than August for me. I guess that slump lingered into September. The Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon did help me get out of the slump and finish a few books but it was a little too late. I finished a total of 6 books. 

Books I Finished
1. The Voyage to Magical North by Claire Fayers
2. Shadows of the Dark Crystal by J.M. Lee
3. The Dream (Rahtrum Chronicles) by R.K. McLay
4. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie
5. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
6. Timekeeper by Tara Sim


Started But Haven't Finished / Currently Reading
