First of all, I want to apologise because I basically haven’t read any emails, the main reason being that my hands are killing me, and I don’t even know if I was going to have posts for this week, …| Mybookworld24
I haven’t done one of these in a while, even if they are one of my favourite types of content to read or watch. Additionally, while I’m participating in the readathon, I’m reading at random, as there are 50 prompts, and I’ve completed 14 of them so far. I’d say it is going great, and … Continue reading Reading Blog #1→| Mybookworld24

By the time this goes up, I’ll be in a virtual interview for a seasonal retail position…we will see how this goes. I started off October in a bit of a rut after the end of my recent temp job.

Today’s Top 10 Tuesday is an unfortunate reminder that I’ve drifted away from series…and I don’t know why. I take that back. I do know why: too many books. In recent years, I start series and take too long to catch up. Frequently, I was distracted by other books, putting sequels off. And then, … Continue reading Top 10 Tuesday: Ten Satisfying Book Series| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
I’ve been itching to do a new tag. And, thanks to Bookables on YouTube, this new one was put on my radar! I’m just going to ignore the fact it’s currently 80 degrees outside… Show us an autumnal book that you love and feel deserves more attention. While I think it got hype when it … Continue reading Fall Into Books Tag| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Spoiler alert: this quarter is not my favorite in terms of reading. On one hand, I finally got a temp job! At the end of August, I was offered a month-long temporary assignment at a rural small town public library fifteen minutes from where I live. I was essentially an extra pair of hands … Continue reading The Third Quarterly Reading Wrap Up of 2025| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
If I can say anything positive about 2025, it’s that I have bought significantly less books this year. Granted, I haven’t counted, but it feels right to say. Of course, my financial situation doesn’t exactly allow for over consumption. Not that it ever stopped me before. Something changed in 2025, though. I’m more … Continue reading Stacking the Shelves #23| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Once again, I had totally different reading plans…. My TBR for October of 2025 is going up slightly later than I would’ve liked because I changed my mind on what I wanted to read. Yesterday, I took off all the books on my TBR cart, leaving room only for my current library book haul. … Continue reading What Am I Reading in October 2025?| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
I didn’t mean to make such a sad title… But the truth is, September 2025 didn’t go as I would’ve hoped, reading and otherwise. I did not take advantage of the free time and short commute I had to read. Instead, I used the open slots in my schedule to blog, make reading plans … Continue reading September 2025 Did Not Go as Planned (monthly reading wrap up)| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
If you remember my original = reading goals for 2025, one was to “read with intention.” Meaning, write reading lists/TBRs and stick to it, not read whatever books catch my eye. Well, I’ve sort of stuck to that. Last year, I had a habit of reading any random e-books that caught my eye … Continue reading The Most Random Books I Have Ever Read| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
There was a time in my life I wouldn’t have cared about FOMO….it was boring. Since graduating college and working various temporary jobs, I’ve spent a good chunk of my money on books. Often, they were either new releases getting a lot of hype, or popular backlist titles. The books on today’s list … Continue reading Really Popular Books I STILL Have Not Read| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.
