WWW Wednesday (121) – February 12, 2025

  1. What did you read last?

The Birthday Book Tag

Today is my birthday! So, I thought it would be fun to celebrate with an appropriately themed book tag. I first saw The Birthday Book Tag on Celeste’s blog a couple of years ago. It looked like a fun way to celebrate the occasion. Maybe I’ll make it an annual tradition moving forward. Only time will tell.

The Birthday Book Tag was created by Antonia at Always Books, and it provides birthday-related prompts to complete with a book recommendation that fulfills it. Without further ado, here we go!

Monthly Wrap-Up: January 2025

monthly wrap-up

Welcome to my monthly wrap-up for January 2025! January was truly a month of beginnings. My wife started her new job, and we both continued exploring our new home. The unpacking kept going slowly but surely, as well. I’ve been experiencing a real winter for the first time, and I like it for the most part. I’m definitely looking forward to spring, though. We’ve learned about some of the quirks of our house the hard way. lol. Yay for frozen pipes/vents, broken furnaces, and dead squirrels in the chimney. However, nothing too terrible or expensive has gone wrong. Hopefully, it stays that way.

The blog had a bit of a renaissance in January, as well. I posted way more than I have in a long time and views (total and per post) were up for the first time in almost a year. It’s amazing what a little consistency can accomplish. Now, let’s take a look at what I managed to read last month!

2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To – Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday - Books Set in a School

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday. This meme was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is 2024 releases I was excited to read but still haven’t gotten to. This was a fun topic despite it causing a bit of shame at seeing all the books I didn’t get to last year. lol. I perused all of my anticipated releases lists from January to July to find my choices for this week. I’d love to read some of these soon, but I’ve learned not to say I’ll prioritize stuff. If I do, that’s usually the books it takes me years to read. All covers link to Goodreads in case something catches your eye. 🙂
