Reading, writing and life check in – 3/4 of 2026

Life check in

Life is okay! I have been temporarily working from home full time and so I was without the long commute for a while, it meant I could catch up on a bunch of stuff that had been on the mental ‘back of mind’ list.

It’s the first chance I’ve had to slow down in a reaally long time, and it has been incredibly good for me. Making me reevaluate what I want going forward and what I want to prioritise.

Hopefully the holiday I will be on when this blog comes out will be the restful cherry on top before the return to office.

Writing check in

Things have occurred! Nothing worth shouting about yet. More tbc

Reading check in

In total I have read 30 books.

It’s not as much as previous years, but this year has just been filled with so many other obligations and losing time I used to read in, I’m not beating myself up over it.

I’ve readjusted my goals for the year to ones that are little kinder to me, after that long reading slump at the start of the year, I’m just happy to being enjoying reading again.

Let’s break it down with the Storygraph stats:

(Ignore the minutes listened counter, it’s not accurate atm)

Reading challenges:

I’ve read 0 books out of 10 for the 500+ pages challenge

And I’ve read 5 books out of the 12 books tbr challenge

And 1 books out of 5 for the non-fiction challenge
