I wanted to cry. Mission accomplished with these books. Next mission : Dare to DNF. That last book wasted half of the month. I should have dropped it when it started feeling like a chore.

I gave romance books a try this month. I think thrillers are more my thing, but I definitely didn’t hate it.

Halfway through 2025, I can’t believe I’ve read 78 books so far. I thought I didn’t like reading 😅 I’m glad I picked up this hobby this year!

@Apple @Google WHY?

#IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay
#PrideMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #IndigenousPeopleMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth #HolocaustRemembranceDay

@CHNGE
@CHNGE : Apple & Google Have Silently Removed International Women's Day From Their Calendars. Celebrated annually on March 8th, International Women's Day is a holiday that centers the women's rights movement. IWD gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women around the world. International Women's Day has been celebrated around the globe for over 100 years. @CHNGE : This Comes After Google Removed Pride Month, Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, and Holocaust Remembrance Day From It's Calendar App Earlier In The Year.

To the people who recommended I read before bed instead of scrolling on my phone, well now I’m sleeping even less because I can’t put a book down until I finish it. 😅
