Here's a quick recap of my bookish activity for January 2026:
1. I've started posting as a Social Media Ambassador on Facebook for the public library in January. I've made 3-4 posts promoting services or events occurring at our local public library.
2. I read five books last month. All five books were either from the public library or from BookSirens. In other words, all free reads last month for me.
3. I made use of Hoopla for the first time last month. I borrowed and read four books from my public library - Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn, I Love Led Zeppelin by Ellen Forney, Lugosi: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Dracula by Koren Shadmi, and The Twilight Man: Rod Serling and the Birth of Television by Koren Shadmi. I'm enjoy Hoopla's services.
4. I participated in The Online Rainbow Book Club last month, which is an online book club hosted and moderated by our public library. We'd read and discussed Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, which I enjoyed. I am looking forward to reading and participating in future meet-ups of The Online Rainbow Book Club.
5. I visited The Quirky Crow Bookshop for the first time, which is a new indie bookstore in my city.
6. I made three Top Ten Tuesday posts last month. I enjoy participating in this weekly bookish event when time and interest allows.
7. I found 12 new to me Little Free Libraries in Livermore, California with my husband last month, which I blogged about as well.
8. Plus, posted a few newsy related items on my blog as well.
Tell me about your bookish achievements during January 2026!
Kudos! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lark!!
DeleteTwelve LFLs? Wow! There are only two I know of in my area, and I'm technically responsible for one given the departure of the last steward -- so it's more work than fun.
ReplyDeleteYes, 12 new to me LFLs last month!! I'm kind of addicted to them actually. I've lost track on how many of them I've actually discovered since I first learned about them back in 2012. I live in a highly populated area, so this may the reason I find so many of them. Plus, whenever I go on vacation, take day trips, etc. I seek them out while using the LFL app on my smartphone.
