January 2026 #storygraph stats 📚

Continuing the trend of being the most miserable month, therefore equaling the highest number of books read. For the dissociation, you understand.

Can’t stand my awful dad, he’s getting worse and worse. Can’t respect or trust my mom who pretends he isn’t awful, family events make me nauseous. What a miserable time.

2026 Reading Goals

📚🩷 more f/f
📚✨ more own voices
📚🕵️‍♂️ more Sherlock Holmes (I miss u)

I had so much fun in 2025. Thank goodness for authors.

Impromptu trip to Montreal last week for very important reasons!!!

Watch #heatedrivalry and be amazed.

Casually seeing two unedited videos of people getting murdered mere days apart isn’t something I can stomach. The hopelessness is inescapable and the desensitization is horrifying.

When the Tides Held the Moon & Something Wild & Wonderful are 6 star reads, honestly.

Ouch.

Someone allowed me to go to a romance bookstore unsupervised??

I was hitting the road to make it to the Yet Another Queer Pop Up Market with the specific goal of meeting @jordanlhawk.bsky.social but the universe had other plans for me 😔 very bummed. Will reread Widdershins to make myself feel better.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

I fear I’ve gone too far.

My girls really threw me a Sherlock Holmes decorated bridal shower 🥹 my whole heart ♥️

Throughout this miserable experience of distancing from my dad & cutting him out of our wedding, I noticed I have not once felt the urge to even think about drinking over it. So we’re gonna celebrate that growth amidst the sadness ✨

#recovery

Shocker.

Today’s the day I sit dad down and have our first conversation in 6+ months to inform him that he is relieved of all father of the bride duties 🫡

What a great time we’re having.

♥️♥️♥️

Yesss Tide Over was one of my most unexpected favorite reads of last year! So good. Same to you, friend! 📚 ♥️

So I’m only 33 pages in but…a story in which the MCs meet & connect over an injured bird, one of whom has a pet raccoon, with autistic character rep? Feels like this was written special just for me 🥰

First hammock day of the year 📖 🌼

At work we are immediately seeing the effects of the federal gov’t rescinding funds from DDAP for substance use disorder programs. Folks without insurance will die. Existing programs will erode, quality of treatment will suffer, folks will die. There is no defending this.
