It’s now the eleventh. This is quite possibly the latest I’ve ever posted my monthly Book Reading List.

My daughter loves to make a big pile of books and then bring them over, asking me to read each one. This means I might read ten or so books in one sitting to her.

August was a big month reading-wise. It’s almost as if I was trying to make of for all the prior light reading months.

Over a week into August and I’m just not putting out my monthly book reading list.

June 2024 is over. Time for another book reading list.

It seems Google Timeline for Web Maps will be going away. Which means I will no longer be able to check on the status of my globe-trotting adventures on the web.

I really feel like, as my kids get older, me reading to them is winding down.

Another month is in the books. Now it’s time for my monthly book reading list.

March is over. Then the kids had a week of spring break - which included the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse.

By the time February was half-over, I realized I hadn’t read any books to my kids.

January 2024 is in the books.

2023 is over. This post will mark the 71st regular monthly book reading post - the first one from January 2018.

November is over.

Time flies. Halloween and October are over, November is here and it’s almost time for Thanksgiving.

We’re now in the last quarter of the year. Three months left.

Time marches on, and I keep reading.

More and more my son is reading on his own. And my daughter is trying to mimic her older brother and “read” on her own, too.

I have a lot going on right now, so I’m just going to list the books I’ve read.

Time flies. May is over and it’s now June.

April was a busy month for me - I was still able to get plenty of reading in both for me and my kids.

Happy Easter y’all. I’ve been a bit busy with work and home, so I’m just going to quickly list the books for last month.

February was quite a month, reading-wise.

On to year six of these monthly book reading lists!

It’s a new month - and a new year! That means, with this post, I’ve been doing these book reading lists for five years.

November is over and December has begun. One more of these monthly book-reading blog posts and I will have been doing this for five years!

October 2022 is in the books, so here’s the books I read to my children and for myself last month.

Consistency. That’s why I’ve been making these book reading list posts for almost five years.

Yet another month has passed. And I keep on reading.

Another month has come and gone - meaning, on this blog at least, it’s time for another book reading report.

June is over. The year is officially half over.

The year keeps chugging along and is almost halfway over.

April was a typical reading month for me.

March was a typical reading month for me.

February may be the short month, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get any reading done.

What an interesting month January was reading-wise. For the first time in her 24 months of existence, I read more books to my daughter than to my son.

December is the last month of the year. The month of Advent and Christmas. Of the winter solstice and snow.

Another month in the books. And speaking of books…

I’m not 100% sure why, but my reading has slowed down a bit.

September was a slower month for reading compared to August.

Quite a month. I read fifty-four different books to my son, thirteen different books to my daughter, and two books for myself.

Last month I read 52 different books to my son, 16 different books to my daughter, and 4 books for myself.

29 books to my son. 18 books to my daughter. And 5 books to myself. That’s the summary of the books I read in June.

Another month gone. We’re already about halfway through the year. Amazing. It’s time to write about the books I read last month in May.

Time marches on. It is now May, and it is now time to report what books I read - to myself, to my son, and to my daughter - in April.

March is over. April has begun. It’s time for me to say what I read, one by one.

February 2021 is now over. It’s time to report on what I’ve read:

Welcome to the start of the fourth year of my monthly book reading lists. That’s right - I published the first reading list all the way back in January 2018.

I don’t have too much time today, so I’m going to be quick with this month’s book reading list. I will say that this is the end of my third year posting these monthly book reading lists.

November was an outstanding reading month.

I think I did pretty good reading-wise in October.

Chugging along, month after month, reading book after book.

Reading keeps getting better month after month. I read more to both my son and my daughter, and twice as many books for myself than I did last month.

July was a pretty good month reading-wise. It helps that my son likes to bring me books to read. However, he often usurps reading time with my daughter.

Another month over, and another month begins. We’re halfway through 2020.

Another month in the books… With that said, more books read.

Chugging along in this pandemic apocalypse, reading book after book.

Like many of you who are still working, I’m working at home now. Thankfully, I can take our kids to my wife’s parent’s house while we both work at home.

February was a heck of a month reading-wise.

I’ve been incredibly busy with the newborn (now six weeks old) and the oldborn (almost two years old!) that I’ve barely had time to keep up with this blog.

It’s been a heck of a year so far. It’s the twelfth and I haven’t even published a post yet!

This is the final book reading list I’ll be writing this year - since I write about the previous month at the beginning of the next, I won’t be writing December 2019’s until January 2020.

Another month over, another book reading list.

Some kids are into dinosaurs. Others, trains. Some kids even like trucks. But my son? He likes books.

My son has gotten really into looking at books lately. He absolutely loves flipping through his books.

This July 2019 book reading list marks my eighteenth book reading list.

2019 is half over. It’s time for my seventeenth book reading list.

May is over. The year is almost halfway over. And it’s time for yet another book reading report.

I’m feeling a bit lazy this month, so I’m just going to list the books I’ve read.

Spring is here and March is over, so it’s time for another book reading report.

February is a short month (and the only truly four-week month) but I still managed to finish two books. And, of course, I’ve read plenty of children’s books to my son.

January brings in a brand new year, which means I’ll be reading brand new books… Or maybe I’ll be reading old books. In either case, they’ll be new to me.

I finished 2018 strong, having read 15 different books for myself - three times as many as I read in 2017. I only read one book in December, but I was determined to finish it by the end of the month/year so I could say I read 3x as many books in 2018 as I read in 2017.

November was a pretty busy month with working on the bathroom remodel, Thanksgiving, and being sick the last week. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to read any books for me.

October was a pretty busy month for me. We bought a van. I’ve been hard at work on remodeling the master bathroom. And, of course, I’ve been busy helping my wife take care of our seven-month-year-old son.

Sometime around September 15th I looked at the date and realized I hadn’t been reading anything for me. I had been reading fairly regularly to my son - a dozen or so different books in September - but I must’ve been too busy for myself.

August was a good month for reading. I read four books for myself and eleven different books to my five-month-old son. I guess all the free time from being done with school has really paid off!

July has come and gone and I have finally - FINALLY - finished my master’s degree. I’m done with classes. I’ve yet to receive that piece of paper saying I’m done in the mail, but all that’s left is waiting. No more responsibility. That means I have more time for reading (and video games, and writing, and my wife and son - but of course not in that order!)

Time is precious - once again, I only managed to fit in one book in my busy schedule for the month. Hopefully, come August, I’ll have more time, since the last session for the last class in my Master’s program is on July 25th. Of course, my son might be mobile by then - he’ll be four months on the 26th - so he will require more attention.

For the month of May, I only read one book, which seems to be the trend for the year. While I did read three books in January, I only managed to read one book in March and one book in April.

Time sure is flying. My son is already over a month old. I finished my second-to-last (penultimate!) class for my Master’s degree. And it’s already another month, so time to report what I read last month.

March was an incredible month. I started a major renovation on the master bathroom, which I ended up putting on pause due to a major life update. Due to the incredible busyness, I was only able to finish one book.

Part of my 2018 resolutions and goals this year was to read more books. So far, I think I’ve done okay. I only finished three books in the last month. That’s actually pretty good, considering I finished only five books in 2017.
