The story of how I met my husband .. in the aisles of our favourite bookstore, Bolen Books in Victoria, BC.

Bringing back something that I used to do on my old blog, where I go through the series that are on my TBR (do I have a series-ous problem here?). I also recap the series that I finished this year, as well as some series that I unhauled and decided not to finish.

Even thought we're only a week since I last told you what I want to read soon, let's join the "10 Before the End" fun and share mine.

I'm not a big TV watcher, so it'll take me quite a while to finish all my currently watching, but I'm sharing an update on my last, now, next, which audiobooks are queued up on Libby and the shows that I'm watching too.

I'm sharing the books I read in October and the books that I'm hoping to read in November,

A chattier episode where I share with you my reading journey, from what books got me into reading to the type of reader I am today.

I'm sharing my favourite books that I read in the first half of 2025!
