✨ July Wrap-Up: Short Stories

Over 20 short stories read this July! Short but powerful… some made me think, others surprised me.
Quick reads with big impact.

What short story surprised you recently?

📚 July Wrap-Up: Novels
I finished 13 novels in July! Some were classics, some were chaotic, and all kept me hooked.
Reading this much definitely deserves a snack break. 😁💖🎂🍰

Which novel grabbed you the most in July?

📚 June Wrap-Up!
Fav of the month: 💚 The Great Gatsby. He really said “eternal longing” like it was a lifestyle.
Books were read, feelings were felt, TBR still winning.

What was your fave June read (or of the year so far)?

I love checking my reading stats and reading summary on Fable. They change often, but this reading summary is always a favorite. Today also marks my 100-day streak! Fable’s easily my fave app, I’ve met amazing people there who love books and sharing stories as much as I do.

May 2025 Reading Wrap-Up
This May, I traveled through dystopias, memoirs, mysteries, and more, but one book stole the show: Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, it’s the kind of story that lingers. If you haven’t read it yet, put it at the top of your list. #Booksy

April treated me well.. especially thanks to The Master and Margarita, my favorite of the bunch. Now stepping into May with a fresh stack of books, a hopeful spirit, and the usual “maybe this is the month I actually stick to my TBR” energy.

Good luck this month. Happy reading! #booksky

March marched in with plot twists, drama, and a few deep thoughts… courtesy of my books, not real life (thankfully). Here’s what I devoured while pretending to be productive!

The weather in Istanbul is all over the place; snowing tonight after last week’s spring tease. ❄️ Warm blanket is all I need in my reading corner to weather this storm. Finally diving into this book. History, anyone? And what are your reading necessities?

February was short, but the reading list was strong! Finished 5 books, and each one had its own charm. Some made me think, some made me feel, and some just took me on a ride. Ready to see what March has in store! 📚✨ #booksky #februarywrapup
