And a note: find my intro post about joining Pondathon II here!

Hello friends! Round 2 of the Pondathon II readathon is now over, so it’s time for a wrap up! I felt a little slumpy this round, so I didn’t read quite as much as in the first round. But I read some great books and really enjoyed them all! But before I tell you what I read, let’s see what the quests and rewards were for this round.

Pondathon II: A Round 1 Summary

January 29, 2022 by Mackenzie 4 Comments

Hello friends! Instead of monthly wrap ups this year, I’m going to do Pondathon round wrap ups! If you are confused as to what the heck a Pondathon is, check out my intro post about it! Each round is ~roughly~ a month, so it’s basically the same thing. But instead of just sharing the books I read, I get to share the Pondathon quests I completed. And share my updated garden!! I’m excited. Round one has just finished so it’s time for my first wrap up.

BUT! FIRST! Since the Pondathon didn’t start until January 10th, I did read a few books before it started. Those were:

  1. Along the Saltwise Sea by A. Deborah Baker (excellent middle grade adventure)
  2. Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson (a new favorite book of mine!! Sabriel vibes)
  3. Tides of Mutiny by Rebecca Rode (pirates! standalone! whee!)

Okay NOW on to the readathon stuff.

Looking Back at October 2021

November 2, 2021 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

Ah yes, once again the steady march of time somehow comes to bite me in the ass and surprise me. I don’t know how that happens every month. You’d think I would know better by now. ANYWAY. I read 13 books this month! Half were sci-fi/fantasy, and the other half were romcoms haha. I just needed some light happiness in my life, yknow? I also wrote some fun posts that I’ll wrap up for you, in case you missed them.

Also, wanna hear a random thing that happened? I had a tweet go viral. Yeah. It was very weird haha. I thought it was very normal, just a photo of my library!! But here it is if you want to see it lol.
