I'm really struggling hard at work, but on the plus side Libby and chronical illness have me going really fucking strong on this HRCYED thing and I'm just enormously pleased with how my bingo is looking after ~4 months. Look at me go and be happy about inconsequential stuff. 😌

I feel like after reading 40 books in October my brain is currently unwilling to focus on the written word, not even in audio. So I've been listening to people talk about things they're passionate about (mostly the Jaam and I started the new Shelflove episode earlier) & playing around with pencils.

It looks pretty okay too.

Fucking called it.

But also: I have things to say about this summary.
October 20, 2025 at 10:17 PM
Oooh I love this and I wanna do it!!! 😌

Oh but in other news we started to revampe our old tables at the center and I'm so fucking proud of the designs the kids came up with and what we've accomplished so far.

They're freaking gorgeous. 🥰

Not gonna lie, keeping track of my stats and reading a ton is also the thing that's keeping me from burning out completely, so there's that.

So yeah, the rest of the challenges look good too.

I did a mid year status update for my reading & not only have I been complaining about how I can't believe it's already July 2025, but also *still* 2025 at the same time, I've also been having a pretty great reading year. Mostly bc I'm still replacing most of my screentime with reading and it shows.

Aaaah, see! I'd forgotten but this reply just reminded me 😅🫶

I don't have a ton of pictures - and gave a lot of the things I finished away - but these are the ones I have here right now. ☺️

Good morning to you from me and my new little friend. 🐦‍⬛♥️

Listen, the center teens and I did a thing and I adore it so much, I need to share.

I LOVE it and I'm very proud of us. 🥰😍

March was a really hard month overall. But the reading was good. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite, but the most enjoyable for me were Mechanics of Love, Moon Witch Spider King, Bookshops & Bonedust, Heir, Beasts of Way and Paola Santiago. But overall there wasn't a single book I didn't enjoy.

Did the thing. Lower part of the park wasn't as crowded as feared 😌

My February reading went much better than I expected tbh, considering my winter break program at the center was packed.

Still read a bunch of really great books, and also some that felt a little meh. Absolutely loved The Faithless and the rereads were very much needed. Good month overall. ♥️

This is the only thing I've allowed myself to look at yet and it's somewhat surprising for me but also really hard. It's confirmation that Germany as a whole is really fucking racist, but also a few more people than predicted actually aren't happy to go down the fascists route again right now.

January Reading 📚

I've been hiding in books a lot. Also replacing doom scrolling & social media time with reading time is doing a lot of things. Insomnia does the rest.

Lots of good books & some new faves though, so that's good. At least something is.

I have nothing today except rage and despair, and I'm going to sit with it before picking myself up and doing more work tomorrow.

Sending you love and a pic of the cat next to a few books I plan to read next. ♥️

I've put all my "25 for 2025 - Read It or Unhaul It" books behind the back cushions of the couch, and the current TBR picks plus the February TBR right next to my reading space on said couch.

It's all a bit messy, but idc. I like it that way.

TBR shelves & stacks 📚

(At least most of it, I'm not contorting myself into a pretzel to get a pic of the former CD shelf I have repurposed to hold fantasy paperbacks 😂)

I'm really happy with this.

I'm finally reading a Kristina Forest book again and it is not disappointing. She writes the sweetest things honestly. This is a slow slow burn YA romance and it's been so adorable and sweet so far, even with the heavy undertones and topics woven into it.
January 20, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Both of us are sending you a ton of love today ♥️

Currently reading QUEER. I'm really happy with it so far. It's about queer German history & I'm esp happy about the way Gammerl makes it clear from the very first chapter that there's no linear way to tell this history or an all encompassing narrative for the whole community in any time period.

Also these streets

I grew up on these streets (with cheat codes)

Ack, fatigue hit before I could post all the things about the #MBkBingo.

I'll post the links and stuff, and hopefully I can add some explanations and rec ideas here tomorrow. ♥️
