I’m 10 📚 away from my 150 books read goal of 2025–I think I’m actually going to make it. 🙃🫠
I’m aiming much lower next year—2026 goal = 50 📚📉
In 2026 I want to focus on all the 500+page books I skipped the last 4 mths to hit my 2025 goal. Plus a reread of a favourite couple series.

I’m 19 books away from hitting my 2025 reading goal. Starting “Mother-Daughter Murder Night” on Audiobook. Also considering some rereads of favourites to finish off the year — do those count?

These types of evenings are some of my favourites after a busy day of yard work & other tasks.
Asha is so completely relaxed on my lap, that she’s let her back leg dangle. She’s in a deep sleep.
I’m reading an interesting anthology of Canadian poetry.

Why is it so hard to find an athletic jacket/hoodie that covers your rear end?
It’s cold here in SW Ontario — I want my butt covered from the chill when I’m walking on my treadmill in the garage at 5:30am. 🥶

35 books to go to meet my 2025 reading goal of 150 books.
I think I might set a lower goal next year as I find these last couple of months that I’ve been skipping the 500+ page books that are on my TBR.

Jane Goodall inspired my daughter to study evolutionary anthropology at uni—& it all started with this book I gifted her over a decade ago.
She texted me tonight absolutely gutted that her idol had passed.
RIP Dr. Goodall. You made a difference. 💔

Just finished Grady Hendrix’s, audiobook of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. Surprisingly enjoyable—even though it’s over 16 hrs & I winced through many graphic descriptions of body horror. 😖

Hey book friends—Have you been to the new Indie bookstore in St. Jacob’s, Ontario? It’s called, The Book Loft, & they’ve curated a nice selection of books. I don’t believe they’re on BlueSky, but they are on TikTok.
I went for the first time today, but it certainly won’t be my last!

Okay, I was drawn in and purchased my first Hobonichi Techo planner. I got the Hon. it’s got everything the Cousin has, but comes in hardcover. I also bought the 5-year journal. Thought it would be fun to try.
Got to get back to my planner game in 2026—I let it slide for the last couple of years.
