It’s 2020…

…and I’m still wondering were 2019 went…and the last part of 2018, but hey it’s a new decade, and this year has got to be better than the last few.

*sigh*

I kept procrastinating this post because I didn’t know what to say. Do I do a 2019 wrap up post? Is it too late for that? Probably and 2019 was a bit of a mess.  Most of my reading was rereading and I didn’t really keep up with what I was reading on GoodReads so that’s out. GoodReads isn’t even sure how many books I read last year? If you’d like to see my wrap up of 34 or 35 books out of my goal for the year of 52 it’s here. And yes most of those reads were audiobooks (because audiobooks are books).

So that brings us to now…it’s almost the end of February and I haven’t read a single book yet. (And Duolingo might be taunting me?) Yikes. I haven’t even set a GoodReads goal for the year yet. Double yikes.

The good news is I’ve made my peace with it. The fact I haven’t picked up a book yet, other than to pack it up, isn’t stressing me out too much anymore. I’ve been working on my other goals that have been pushed aside the last couple of years, so it hasn’t been all bad.

One of my big goals for this year was moving the blog to a self-hosted site and I’m excited to announce that that should be happening soon. Hopefully by the end of the week. Fingers crossed I don’t mess it up. I will post on thebookishcurmudgeon.wordpress.com when the move has been complete in case something goes wrong (but hopefully it won’t).

So how is your reading going? What reading goal did you set for yourself this year? Or have you fallen down the rabbit hole that is Netflix because you just can’t seem to pick up a book?

And how do you feel about the new block editor?

Welcome

Hi!

I’m Claire. If you’ve made your way here from Instagram you better know me as @thebookishcurmudgeon.

I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the bookstagram community, but as someone who likes to write I decided I wanted to blog. I love discussing books, but Instagram is a very visual media and sometimes we get lost and distracted by all the great pictures of books (and it’s really hard to type out my thoughts on that tiny phone keyboard).

I plan to post book reviews, bookish merch reviews, and well anything bookish I find interesting and think you might as well.

I’m still getting the blog all sorted, but if you put things off until everything’s perfect you’ll never get started.

If you’d like to know anymore about me or my review policy you can check out those pages.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Reading!

-Claire
