December 2025 Wrap-Up

—

Hello and Welcome to the final monthly wrap-up of 2025!

As you can see, the number of books read has dwindled even further than the previous months, to the lowest it has been. Per my real-life posts, this month has been HECTIC with us selling our house, moving around a bit and trying to be patient with the whole van conversion process. I have allowed myself more grace since I simply have not felt motivated to read most of this month.

My favorite book this month was ‘Clean Sweep’ by Ilona Andrews. The fact it was set in Texas was a nice little bonus but the thought of living amongst supernatural beings without even realizing it was fascinating to me. You begin to notice really quick at how crucial the innkeepers are to the safety and security of our world and that led to some dramatic and hilarious moments within the story.

The books I have read and their reviews will be linked below!

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
