This is my quarterly check in on how I am doing on my reading challenges for the year. So far I am doing great although I am finding them to be a bit more challenging this year. I am finding it kind of hard to find books to fit some of the prompts!

2025 Nonfiction Challenge #6
A review for the nonfiction book A Field Guide to the Apocalypse by Athena Aktipis. This is a very informative book about how to prepare for those unexpected disasters that could come at anytime. It also has information about how historically disasters have shaped our lives and our world.
My Monthly Wrap-Up: May 2025
Hello and welcome to my May wrap-up. May was mostly a mixed bag for me. Two of my most anticipated reads for the year were not quite up to my expectations. But I had lots of surprises in some of my other reads. I finished 17 books, five of them audiobooks, and I have been keeping up with my challenges.
2025 Nonfiction Challenge #5
This is a review for the nonfiction book Field Notes From a Fungi Forager by Ashley Rodriguez. I really enjoyed this book that focuses on mushrooms and fungi that can be found around the Pacific Northwest. The author does a great job of telling how to identify the different species, but also includes ideas on how to cook them.
My Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2025
April was a good month. I finished 17 books and none of them were below a three star read! I did several rereads, but I was ok with that as I loved all of them just as much as the first time.
2025 Nonfiction Challenge #4
A review for the nonfiction book, Go to Hell: A Traveller’s Guide to Earth’s Most Otherworldly Destinations by Erika Engelhaupt. This boo was a very interesting read focused on places in the world that have myths or legends that associate them with the Underworld. Well written and researched it will bring some of the world’s most inhospitable places to you.
