For my November 2025 TBR, I am trying to put the focus back on my owned books while keeping up with using my library. I am still working on finishing some series, as I have far too many on the go. This will help me continue to whittle down my main TBR. As with all months, if I manage to read all of these books in good time, I will squeeze in some others. The post may contain affiliate links.

As October comes to an end, it’s time to share the books I purchased this month. I made another trip to the local used book store and found some books I have wanted for a while, along with some that I picked up because they sounded interesting. Without further ado, here is my October 2025 Book Haul, showing the books added to my TBR this month. The post may contain affiliate links.

October is here, and I cannot believe we are already in the final third of 2025. As with all other months, I plan to make a list of goals to accomplish in October. However, this month’s goals have a bit of a twist, and I’m very excited to work on them. Before I get into my October 2025 goals, I’d like to take a moment to share how I did with September’s goals. September Review September was one of those months that simultaneously flew by and yet dragged on. Read 5 books Yes. I got quite a few books read in September. Watch at leastRead More →

In September, I spent quite a bit of time reading, and while I strayed from my monthly TBR quite a bit, I got through more books than I had planned. This month saw some hits and some misses, but I am glad I gave each of these books a try. My September reading wrap-up goes over the books I read and shares a mini review of each book.

For my October 2025 TBR, I’m balancing library books with books from my own shelves. I’m in the middle of far too many series, so this month, I’m trying to knock out a number of sequels. On top of this, I’m still craving plenty of non-fiction books, and this is where my library is coming in handy, because I picked up some good-sounding ones. The post may contain affiliate links.

September is here, and it’s the month when we transition from summer to autumn. As with all months, I am making a list of goals that I am hoping to accomplish. Many of these goals are repeats from the previous month to ensure that I can finally complete them. Before I get to my September 2025 goals, I’d like to take a moment and go over how I did with my August goals. August Review August was a fairly good month, granted it was very hot, as I expected it to be. However, I slacked a lot on my goals. Or perhaps, I should sayRead More →

For my September 2025 TBR, I am keeping it relatively small, with a mix of owned books and library books.

Without further ago, here are the books I plan to read in September. The post may contain affiliate links.

Going into August, I had no plans of buying any books. However, as any book lover knows, books have a way of sneaking into our lives. Between going to a large yard sale and someone giving away a set of old encyclopedias, I found myself bringing home quite a few books. My August 2025 book haul is here to show the books I picked up this month. August 2025 Book Haul In The Hall of The Dragon King by Stephen R. Lawhead A kingdom hangs in the balance as a young acolyte shoulders a knight’s errand to rescue the King. Tested in more ways thanRead More →

August is here, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it’s already the eighth month of 2025.  Summer is at its height, but autumn is not far away. With the heat, which I cannot handle, a lot of my August 2025 goals are focused on tasks I can accomplish inside the house. Before we get into this month’s goals, I want to take a moment and go over how I did with July’s goals. July Review July was a decent month. I can’t say I was the most productive, but I got some things done, so I’m happy. Read atRead More →
