2025 Reading Challenges

Melissa
January 3, 2025March 15, 2025 1 Comment

I’ll be challenging myself with my fairly large To-Be-Read pile in my house to fit books to various challenges this year. I may not complete them all, or I may extend them beyond 2025 just because, but I’ll give them my best shot. 🙂 These are the ones that looked particularly interesting to me. I […]

2024 Reading Wrap-Up

January 3, 2025 1 Comment

One of my goals in 2024 was to read more. I’d fallen completely out of reading during Covid due to all of the chaos – trying to work full-time remote while also training multiple people remotely to do my job (which changes in both scope and workflow nearly monthly), helping my son as a first-grader […]

I have a ton of books around my house to read thanks to multiple trips to the glorious Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Covid really did a number on my reading habit, and one of my goals for 2024 is to get back into reading. A couple reading challenges will definitely help me get back […]

Hi, I'm Measi

about
(a/k/a Melissa)

I'm turning 50 in 2025, and exploring this new decade of my life with a refocus on blogging about my life - marriage, parenthood, being owned by cats, Paganism, cross stitching, journaling, books, and letter writing... and probably some other stuff along the way. Nothing monetized here - just old-fashioned personal blogging.
