in 2023 i started the goal of trying to read more. i used to love reading as a child but somehow over the years most likely because of school i fell out of habit and out of love. but no more!!!! books are fabulous again and every who knows me knows i love my kindle... thats another thing i need to put on this site all the reasons why kindles rule!! i love a paperback dont get me wrong but once you read the reasons why i love a kindle... you will get it, dont worry! anyway ive been logging my books... i feel 2025 has dropped off a bit.. i did very well in 2024, i think thats because when you get on a book roll you're on a roll but once you fall off you gotta find that one that makes you utterly obsessed again.. mind you i did pledge more movies 2025.. lots of movies... hopefully 2026 allows for more reading... also oh my god add a suggestions box rhianna
if anything is particularly interesting i will asterisk it.. i might even write some notes.. who knows its my site ill figure it out as i go

Perversion of Justice: The Jeffery Epstein Story
Interesting.. significantly less books this year.. I will try again to read even more in 2026. I am happy with the quality of work I read this year though I did push myself to read things I wouuldn't normally chose on reccomendations from people I know. Sometimes this worked out fabulously and sometimes it was a drag but it was nice to see what other people are into. There is a few from throughout the years that I haven't yet finished and a few that I am still currently reading between books. Mainly self help and non fiction works haha. I have noticed there is considerably less thriller/horror which I do really enjoy so I will have to seek some of those out in the new year. If you are reading this and I havent yet set up a suggestion box online please message me your reccomendations! I always enjoy adding to my list even if I dont get to it in 2026.
