What happened to June? I shared the 9 books I finished that month. I had a blast talking to Sephie, but still can’t figure out how I read so little.

A short episode has fewer notes. I was so put out at myself that I barely went on a tangent. (OR Michael is just that good of an editor.)

I love getting to chat with people. Gal Sal has been a presence on the Internet since 2019, but you might never know she's a romance reader based on her content.

Two double digit months! This was an odd one because so many of these were audiobooks. I don't tend to have that high a percentage of my reading be audio. I enjoyed my choices.

I am enjoying the new format of forearms. That I only share when I have enough I believe are worth sharing. It does mean that Sephie never knows when we are recording an episode.

I am reading! And reading a little bit more. I share all the books I read in April, up to our recording date. Final reading and purchasing stats will be in the show notes.

Getting back in the groove… a little bit. I had very light reading months as I recover. It was nice to share with Sephie, even if the amount is less than we are used to. I’m going to continue to “soft DNF” when I’m not feeling a book anymore. I highly recommend joining me in this.

After I joined Kay and Elle on an episode of their podcast, I was thinking about books I would want to read with them. This book was at the top of the list. It shook me when I read it in 2024. I loved returning to it with others.

Tote bags have been the biggest (volume wise) accumulation of bookish swag. There are many ways I've gotten tote bags, but the result is over 40 that live in my office. They take up a lot of space.

I've been hiding this audio for almost a year! Just because I took them out of 2025 rotation, doesn't mean I stopped noting them. It felt so good making Sephie laugh like this. I hope you enjoy it!

This is a lighthearted conversation. I know there are some visuals you might not get. That's okay. Sephie and I talk about the expectations put on readers to have large, curated, aesthetically pleasing bookshelves. We share what works for us. And hopefully make you laugh.
