The Sunday Post: Reviewing the Week and Looking Ahead – 2/11/2024
How is it already Sunday again?? This week completely flew by! My husband and I had a bit of an adventure day today and actually made it to three (!!!) different bookstores. Somehow, even with this blog and all the books I hear about, I always find books I’ve never even seen before. Today, my… Continue reading

The Sunday Post: Reviewing the Week and Looking Ahead – 2/4/2024
Is anyone else feeling slightly overwhelmed by February?? There are so many great new releases coming out this month. I just finished planning out my February reading and blog schedule, which helped me feel a little less strained. Some months just feel like a lot of great books all at once, though. In other news,… Continue reading

Welcome back to Back Shelf Books! We finally lost all our snow this week! In its place, though, we got a heck ton of rain. Rain, I can handle. It’s been a much more normal week this week, and normal is perfectly good in my book. News & Fun I’m super excited to now be… Continue reading

The Sunday Post: Reviewing the Week and Looking Ahead – 1/21/2024
Welcome back to Back Shelf Books and another Sunday Post! Like so many others, we had a huge cold front and winter storm come through. It’s still here, really. We had somewhere between 8 and 12 inches of snow and it got down to -10°F (-23°C) one night. That is crazy temperatures around here. I’ve… Continue reading

The Sunday Post: Reviewing the Week and Looking Ahead – 1/14/2024
Welcome back to Back Shelf Books! What. A. Week! My house is unfortunately full of sick pups. Each of my three inside dogs are sick (and surprisingly, they’re sick with different illnesses). They’re all doing well, but it’s been a long week for us. Even with all the craziness, I’ve had a surprising amount of… Continue reading

2024 Challenges & Tracking
For my own sake, I’m compiling all the 2024 reading challenges I’m participating in on one post. This will be pinned to my navigation bar for easy reference and (hopefully) updated regularly. Of course, I’m participating in the Goodreads reading challenge again this year. I’m aiming for 250 books, which sounds like a lot. However,… Continue reading

Top Ten Tuesday: My Favorite Books of 2023
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists and a love of lists, and I also love both those! This week’s topic is “Favorite Books of 2023.” I read so much excellent fiction this year, which made making this list exciting, but… Continue reading

The Year of the Novella: 2024 Book Challenges and Intentions
Here at Back Shelf Books, I’m christening 2024 as “The Year of the Novella.” My goal is pretty simple – I want to read as many SFF novellas as possible in 2024. When I first started Back Shelf Books, I joked that I was on a mission to read every speculative novella in existence. Now,… Continue reading

The Sunday Post: Reviewing the Week and Looking Ahead – 12/24/2023
Here we go, again! Another Sunday Post. How are we all doing this week? We’ve been under the weather in my neck of the woods, so I’ve been less productive than I wish I could have been on the blog this week. But, it’s almost Christmas! That alone is reason to celebrate. I’ve got another… Continue reading
