Here’s what’s on the agenda for February 💌

Is anyone else finally pulling those unread romance books off the shelf this month? 🌹

“He was like a freezer item that had thawed too quickly on the outside and was melting everywhere, while the inside was still frozen solid.”

January reading goals complete ✅ Time to wrap up the month by keeping warm and finishing the series on Hulu 📺

I want to set some realistic #readinggoals since I’ve never done that before 📚 So I’m endeavoring to read 12 books in 2026–one per month!

For January, I’d like to finish up #wutheringheights and get started on #normalpeople 🔖 (I started the show but never finished, so why not switch to the book?)

My end-of-year @barnesandnoble.com #bookhaul 🛍️

Should one of these be my first read for 2026? 🔖

Nothing like a little matcha and a new read 👓

Mexican Gothic was perfectly gothic, but now it’s time to prepare for my 2026 Valentine’s date 💌 (because it may actually take me that long to read this book..)

Still slowly enjoying this read 🐌

I know I’ve been a bit MIA recently, but I’ve been focusing on family, career goals, and making the holidays special 🎄 which has made this reading slump completely worth it 📓

Up next! 📚

I did sort of want to tackle Wuthering Heights next since it’s been sitting on my shelf for years and we’ve got a movie in the works now, BUT I really just want to keep the mysterious thriller vibes going for fall 👓

It was an honor to help edit/design this memoir of @jdmathes.bsky.social’s life after incarceration, and I’m happy it’s being shared with the world⛓️‍💥

The book is made all the more amazing by his daughter Sophia Mathes’s gorgeous artwork 🎨

Finishing off the season with a classic Halloween staple -- vampires🩸

I can’t believe I ever read Dracula without knowing it was actually inspired by a novel written twenty-six years earlier 😵‍💫 But you can definitely see the influence immediately upon reading!

It’s been a while since I finished a book in less than a week, but this one was a very easy breezy read 🍂 It really wasn’t spooky scary enough for my liking but it did leave me craving a croissant 🥐

“‘Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart’”. 🧩

My favorite short story in this collection was one based on Kafka’s Metamorphosis 🪲 but they were all quite captivating!

My friend recently threw a very bookish soirée and I just had to show off these adorable DIY bookmarks that we had a blast making 🔖✨

(Of course I had to do a little minty orange moment in honor of tloasg 🧶)

First kindle read! 📖

After I read The Elephant Vanishes, I was sold on Haruki Murakami 🐘 so I can’t wait to devour this short story collection as well 🍽️

“You could drown in two inches of water. Maybe grief was the same.” 🌊

All I can say is that I need to see how this story would be adapted for the screen 📺 (I googled that HBO is developing a series, but I need it now) I’d binge every episode!

While making progress on The Picture of Dorian Gray, I took a liking to bringing the book along on walks with my dog and finding a nice little spot to read. 🌿

Where do you like to go with your books? 📒

First read of the summer 🌼

I recently finished Wicked after a long time of not having enough time to read 🪄 and now I’m getting to all the books that have been sitting on my shelf 📚 and enjoying them in the sand ⛱️
