Splendeur Caisse

Fave Paranormal Fave Historical Fave Holiday Cover Fave YA Fave Contemporary Cover Just a handful of my favorite covers from December. I couldn't pick just one as the all-around favorite. How has the first full week of the New Year treated you? Did you set any reading goals?  I lowered my reading goal to 300. I just want to give myself a little breathing room. I'm trying to not request as many ARCs, as before. We'll see how that goes. xo Alicia

These are in no particular order just a few I loved from 2020. I didn't really keep track of cover that I loved throughout the year but it's something I want to do this year. I have a few ideas floating around, so these posts might shift and change throughout this year. So, December covers are getting their own post for tomorrow.  xo Alicia

  Whew... I wasn't sure I would make my reading goal for 2020. I started to feel a little slumpy and my reading speed slowed down. Christmas novellas definitely helped me reach my goal. Honestly, novellas help me every month. They also feel like a palate cleanser between books. And sometimes I just need something quick and steamy. So I read a total of 23 books. 10 ARCs 10 KU- kindle unlimited   2 PB- paperbacks   1 e-book   1 audio I am really missing Audible Escape. Having AE meant I usually read at least four more books a month. I tried Audible Plus free trial but I had a hard time even finding something I wanted to read. So I'll just take a break from audio for a while. Off to read. xo Alicia

  Just a little snapshot/ overview of my reading stats from 2020 on Goodreads. My 2020 Reading Challenge Goal was 325 books and I managed to go over that by 7 books.  I honestly didn't think I was going to reach my goal a few times. I read 360 books in 2019. I'm mulling over what my goal should be for 2021.  xo  Alicia

  Oh man, I can't believe I forgot to set my blog post for Tuesday!  And why am I getting these double covers? It's so weird. I only read 15 books last month. I had a hard time getting through some of them. Not because I disliked them or anything, I just could read as quick as I normally do. Here's the break down: ARCs: 11 KU: 3 Audible Escape: 2 (I miss it so much) Two of those ARCs were physical paperbacks Off to finish my latest ARC! xo Alicia

  I read a total of 28 books this month and that's only because the last five or so were steamy novellas. I was craving short and steamy reads. These are also by authors I love and enjoy their writing, so I know I'm getting a read I'll love. So here's the breakdown of what I read: 10 ARCs 3 Paperbacks which were also ARCs 5 Audible Escape (the Winston Bros. series) 10 Kindle Unlimited 2 Kindle purchases 2 Free ebooks Ugh... not loving that Audible Escape is no longer available. I decided to give Audible Plus a try but so far I'm not loving it. Almost everything I had in my library qued to read disappeared and all the books I saved to my wishlist are not eligible for the subscription I have. AND there is no romance category in the browse tab. Frustrating to say the least. I'm hoping improvements will be made otherwise I might just cancel my subscription. xo Alicia

  I read a total of 27 books last month. I feel like I could have read more but suddenly I had about 5 ARCs that I had to read and review by the end of the month. I read a total of 12 ARC's last month! I think I need to limit my requests for ARCs a little. Anyway here's the breakdown. 12 ARCs 7 Audible Escape  1 Kindle Unlimited 3 free e-books 4 Read Me Romance Podcast novellas I'm looking forward to reading a few spooky reads after I get through my ARC TBR.  Okay, time to go read some more books! xo Alicia

Wow! It really felt like this month flew by, even though we're still stuck in quarantine.

ARCs: 9 Read Me Romance: 3 Kindle Unlimited/KU: 7 Audible Escape/AE: 6 Forever Publishing Physical book: 1 Free Download: 2 Happy reading everyone! xo Alicia
