Thank you, Aria and Dini, for (again) including a topic I submitted! And, yes, I do remember sending it in. Every year, I inevitably fall into two massive reading slumps. The first is either in June or July because it’s the halfway point of the year. That’s when I start thinking a lot about … Continue reading Let’s Talk Bookish: In Which Season Do You Do Your Best Reading?| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
There was a time in my life I read the books I bought…I don’t know what happened to me. Due to my book buying habits, my love of my local library, and mood reading, my physical TBR has become massive. There are books I’ve bought over the years that I was so excited for, … Continue reading Books on My TBR I Was so Excited for but STILL Have Not Read in 2025| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
September is always one of those months that inspires me to have ambitious reading plans. I know why, though. The end of the year is around the corner. I want to read virtually everything. Fortunately, my current work schedule allows for a lot of time to read.

How is this an August reading wrap up? This month went by way too fast. I was overwhelmed by job hunting. Often, I did not feel like reading.

I don’t know … Continue reading The Three Books I Read in August of 2025| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Are we a week away from September? Yes. Am I already planning my reading goals for next year? …Maybe. Recently, I thought over how I wanted my reading for the rest of the year to play out.

Honestly? I’m sort of glad summer is over. Besides not being my favorite season in general, summer of 2025 dragged. I spent most of the time indoors, sending out job applications and occasionally getting interviews that often resulted in rejection or ghosting. However, I’m glad to report that it has ended on a … Continue reading End of Summer 2025 Book Tag| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
This week’s Top 10 Tuesday was encouraged to be something non-bookish. But, of course, I couldn’t think of anything. On today’s post are my top ten bookish discoveries of the last five years. It occurred to me recently that there have been significant changes to my reading life since 2020. While changes are to be … Continue reading Top 10 Tuesday (freebie): Ten of My Favorite Bookish Discoveries of the Last Five Years| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
I love this time of the year for a lot of reasons. The first? Back to school season. No, I don’t have any plans, or interest, to go back to school. With my final semester of grad school, my schooling wrapped up in 2020. But the end of August and early September always brings … Continue reading Books That Feel Like Going Back to School| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Otherwise known as: the bane of my existence. When I say “physical to be read pile,” or “TBR” in general, I mean the unread books I own. Anything I want to read but don’t own, I either want to borrow from the library, read as an audiobook, or buy them eventually. But over … Continue reading Reading Your Physical TBR Pile| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
