Unfortunately, this month's reading consisted only of one and a half books, and I don't believe will finish the other half by the end of the month. I do have several spooky titles I'm interested in reading, but instead I spent the month de-compressing with horror films and shows. So here is my pitiful monthly

Monthly Reads: September
This month was very slow in terms of reading progress: only two books completed. Both were from the Witcher series, which means I'm almost done the series!! Just one more book to go, but I might not get to it until November. It's just a hunch, but I feel like I'm becoming too busy to
Monthly Reads: August
It seems I've become completely engrossed in the lives of Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg and Cirilla of Cintra. All of August was spent further delving into their lives. I expect September to follow suit. There is so much to read, but I hardly have time anymore. Really makes me miss the Quarantine period
Monthly Reads: July
Well friends, my HP bookclub of 2 is a little behind on the reading, which has also delayed the reluctant movie marathon of 4, but I have finished the HP series. I was so into reading HP that I also read the Cursed Child screeplay (which is awful). I will do a review of the
Monthly Reads: June
We are officially into the latter half of 2020 and it's been wild thus far, likely only to get wilder! Unfortunately, I didn't accomplish as much reading as I would have liked. I'll also be returning to work full time (in a physical work space, as opposed to WFH), and I expect my body will
Monthly Reads: May
A lot has changed in the world, since I planned this post. If you're looking for a reading list to help you educate yourself in systemic racism and what it means to be an ally, you will find a link at the bottom of the post. Another month gone by and some more books have
Monthly Reads: April
Like most of Toronto, and the world, I've now been at home for nearly two months. In the beginning it was easy to feel as though this time away from work would be used productively. I certainly tried. Yet, as time goes on, it's harder to stay focused and remain positive or motivated. As such,
Monthly Reads: March
Two weeks into March, my workplace closed to the public for a few weeks. The City of Toronto, along with several others in North America were shutting down most popular public places to get ahead of a global pandemic and #flattenthecurve. Of course, before a week had passed, things had progressed rapidly. Before several weeks
Monthly Reads: February
I'm a little behind on posting my Monthly Reads for the past two months -- as you can appreciate, it's been an unprecedented time with a global pandemic. Sadly, I only got through one title in February, but it was definitely a great read. You recall my review on Karina Yan Glaser's The Vanderbeekers of
Monthly Reads: January
As a child, you would rarely see me without a book in hand. I definitely played outside with neighbourhood friends and cousins, and as a teen, I would hang out online with school and internet friends. But at the dinner table, on my couch, in my bed, I was always reading. And then I did
