Rolling into 2026 with my favorite new mug

Didn't quite meet my reading goals this year but still got through 29 great books! @thebookanalysts.bsky.social looking forward to being more active in the discord this year!
I read 29 books in 2025, didn't quite meet my goal because I've been too tired to read much since starting my new job. But I'm planning to get back into it in the new year! My favorite fiction was probably Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle (a bit of a surprise, considering that author's other works, lol). Runner up would be Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. Favorite nonfiction was definitely Disarming Leviathan by Caleb Campbell (topic: Christian Nationalism), and an extremely close runner up would be Transforming by Austen Hartke (topic: transgender Christian experiences). Favorite audiobook performance (and this is the new favorite audiobook performance of all time for me, surpassing Black Sun by Roanhorse) is Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter. Do not listen to this while driving like I did, ended up having to squint at the interstate through tears. It is brutally good. Image of the covers of all 29 books I read this year

It's not even 7:30 yet and my work radio is playing Gangnam Style. I work in a doctor's office. 😑

Sitting on the couch with my book on my lap, staring into space, counts as reading, right?

Me: *hasn't paid attention to the political situation in this country since I'm adjusting to working full time again, logs on to social media this afternoon*
Also me: *sees the situation and backs into the bushes like Homer Simpson*

Am I becoming that annoying person that only posts about their vehicle?

Maybe. But just look at her. 😍
