Mt TBR Report: November 2018

Posted on December 7, 2018December 4, 2018 by Elizabeth

As I’ve mentioned before, my reading stats tend to be down in November. I generally manage 6-8 books, so I was pleased that I managed the higher end of that range this year. I reviewed two collections of short stories this month, which slowed me down. The stop-start of short story anthologies is more difficult […]

Mt TBR Report: March 2018

Posted on April 6, 2018April 3, 2018 by Elizabeth

I’m very pleased with my reading for March. Once again, I came within one book of breaking even on my acquisitions. I would have made it with plenty to spare, had I not caved in to the feminist SFF book bundle being curated by Cat Rambo. I’m especially pleased because I also had a bit […]

With Christmas now just a couple of days away, Earl Grey Editing is shutting down for the year. I’ll be on holiday as of today until 3 January, making this my last post of 2017. Before I go, I thought I’d share my favourite reads from this year. These are not books that were necessarily […]

Mt TBR Report: October 2017

Posted on November 3, 2017November 1, 2017 by Elizabeth

With two months left to go, I think I can give up on any vague hope I had of breaking even on Mt TBR this year. Though, to be fair, October is both birthday month and Conflux, so I didn’t really stand a chance. Fortunately, my other reading goals are looking good. The first was […]

Mt TBR Report: August 2017

Posted on September 1, 2017August 31, 2017 by Elizabeth

Although August got off to a good start, I had a bit of a reading slump that started about a week in. I’m only just pulling out of it now. Nevertheless, Mt TBR is still looking in good shape after I culled a few books. It brings me back below my starting figure for the […]
