January wrap-up

Whatcha readin’?

If you’re a The StoryGraph user, drop your best tips and tricks. I’ve officially moved over for 2026 and really hoping it becomes my forever home for reading stats, vibes, and mildly unhinged TBR management.

In the spirit of spending smarter (and supporting the ecosystem I love), I’ve also been leaning hard on Libby—library-powered, delightfully user-friendly, and completely guilt-free. Between Libby and my indie bookstore challenge this year, I think I may finally be breaking up with the Zon. It’s time.

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