Hello bookish friends and welcome to the all-new and improved #CaseClosed. It's shorter, it's sharper but it's still as SPARKLY as ever π€£ #CaseClosed is my monthly wrap up post where I share the books I've read, the content I've posted on the blog, the state of my NetGalley shelf and how myβ¦
During the #Christmas #holidays last month, I've did a kind of #digitaldetox, coupled with a #reading #challenge: clear at least one long #book from my backlog.
I thought the momentum died down after ripping through those 600 pages in 4 days, but I guess I was wrong, considering I've already hit 4/15 books of my 2026 #GoodreadsChallenge ~
Late nights, good books, and a strong reading habit. My Goodreads 2025 Reading Challenge kept me turning pages.
