The Halfway Mark (just a little late)

Somehow it happened, we've passed the halfway mark for 2025 (where did the time go)! That means it's time to take a look at my reading journey so far (yes, I know it's a bit late). So, in this episode, I’m reflecting on the books that have shaped the last six months, the highs, the lows and everything in between. Well, not quite everything, that would take a little bit too long! I’ll be talking honestly about what worked for me, what didn’t quite hit the mark, and why. Of course, there was that one stand-out read that should already be placed on a podium somewhere, and I am going to be working up to that one, because it's special...and if you haven't read it already, maybe you should...I can’t wait to tell you why it’s stayed with me long after the final page. Plus, if you’re already planning your next few reads, I’ll also be sharing the titles I’m most looking forward to for the rest of the year. Whether you’re here for inspiration, reflection, or just to compare notes, if you find joy in a good book and love to talk about them, you're in the right place. Sit back, relax and enjoy my six-month check-in, a month late! Mentioned Episodes Brat: An '80s Story by Andrew McCarthy Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
