Continue ReadingMy Mt TBR skyrocketed this month, as I got sucked into Kobo’s e-book subscription service. The plan is to stay with it for a couple of months to work through the things I’m interested in reading and then let it go… but we’ll see how that works out. Mt TBR Status Mt TBR @ 1 […]
Continue ReadingNovember proved yet another very slow reading month. However, this was offset by some serious unhauling of my Mt TBR. I’m hoping to squeeze in some more sorting so that I can go into the new year with more of a mound than a mountain. Or at least a mountain instead of a mountain range. […]
Continue ReadingWith the Magical Readathon concluding at the end of September, I found October a slower month for reading. Amusingly enough, it seemed to have a focus on history — be it historical fantasy, historical romance or alternate history.

Continue ReadingThis February was my second-best month for reading on record. It was beaten only by January 2017, which was not coincidentally the last time I faced a deadline for Aurealis judging. It seems that deadlines continue to be the best way to motivate me. This month was also helped by a couple of four-hour train […]
Continue ReadingAs 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 […]
Continue ReadingFebruary was predominantly a month of romance and YA for me. My reading habits have grown in those directions, anyway, but I was also a bit burnt out and I find those genres comforting. Fortunately for me, I was able to take a short holiday and spent a fair amount of it reading. So, it […]
