August wrap-up

Whatcha readin’?

I’ve switched my book log over to Bookly. It’s sleek and pretty, though not entirely audiobook friendly (a minor tragedy for someone like me). Still, it beats feeding the beast, so I’ll stick with it for the rest of 2025.

And speaking of cutting ties, I’ve also pared way back on my Audible purchases. These days I’m leaning hard on Libby and loving it—user-friendly, library-powered, and guilt-free.

Where do you get your books? What do you use to track your reading?
