Here you’ll find all of my weekly roundups where I provide short reviews of the books I read each week, including both books that I’ve written full reviews for and ones that I haven’t. For full reviews, booklists, and essays, check out the navigation bar!
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 9/28/26-10/4/26
I’m still getting over the cold I mentioned last week, but I’m definitely feeling better, so small victories. It was a really good reading week, so maybe I should be sick more often! That being said, I’m swamped as always so we’ll keep this quick and to-the-point. We have one ARC, one backlist title, one…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 9/21/26-9/27/26
Well, wishing for Fall bit me in the ass because we literally had like two days that were a little chilly and I was immediately struck down by plague (by which I mean I have a very mild cough). So, forgive me if this roundup is a little more chaotic than usual because I’m a…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 9/14/26-9/20/26
I hope everyone is enjoying the last bits of sunshine unless you’re a cave-dweller like me and are eagerly awaiting chillier weather. I didn’t get through a ton of books this week by my standards but I really enjoyed all three of them so this was actually a great reading week! Thankfully, I’m still able…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 9/7/26-9/13/26
Classes are settling in and fall is on the horizon (I say, hopefully, looking at the 80 degree weather forecast for later this week)! This week was hectic but I managed to get a good amount of reading done, in addition to stocking up the Blind Date with a Book display I’ve been working on…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 8/31/26-9/6/26
There’s nothing like the first week of classes to just knock you flat on your ass (in the best way possible). No, but genuinely I’m very happy that the school year has started. Somehow over breaks I always manage to forget that I function best when I’m busy, and then I start classes and suddenly…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 8/24/26-8/30/26
By the time you’re reading this I’ll have started classes, so I’m both very excited and also slightly terrified as I’m writing this. Weirdly, I feel like I usually read more during the school year because it feels like more of an escape than it does while I’m on break. That being said, I didn’t…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 8/17/26-8/23/26
It looks like it’s finally cooling off in Portland and the school year is just around the corner so I have lots to look forward to! That being said, this was another pretty awful reading week, and I’ll try to keep this roundup fairly short for both of our sakes. The book-related highlight of the…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 8/10/26-8/16/26
Summer is wrapping up but the good news is that peak reading season (Fall, obviously) is nigh and I’m ready to be curling up with a book on a rainy day already! I read five books this week and the week started out pretty rough, but they got better as the week went on so…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 8/3/26-8/9/26
I hope everyone is enjoying summer as it’s wrapping up! Portland is pretty smoky at the moment which is no fun but I think it’s clearing up. I read six books this week and…I guess this was actually a pretty bad reading week. Before I started this blog, I never did weekly roundups so I…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 7/27/26-8/2/26
August is upon us! I read five books this week and I would say it was a pretty solid week overall, mostly just good with one real standout. I mostly stuck to the plan I laid out at the end of last week’s roundup with the exception of one book. We have one audiobook, one…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 7/20/26-7/26/26
I hope everyone’s summer is going well! Another week has passed. I read four books this week but two of them were pretty long and I wasn’t doing much audiobook listening. This was actually a pretty good week—I really enjoyed three out of the four books. Shockingly, I actually stuck to the books I said…
Weekly Roundup – What I Read / Listened to 7/12/26-7/19/26
I’ll be doing weekly updates with quick thoughts on what I read, particularly for books that don’t warrant a full scale review. If I have written a full review, it will be linked. Not a particularly outstanding or terrible week. My Lady Jane and A Prince Among Pirates were both audiobooks and were pretty fun,…
