June was a slower month for reading. My reading obligations dragged out longer than I anticipated and I picked up a new craft project. Mt TBR Status Mt TBR @ 1 January 2021: 426Mt TBR @ 31 May 2021: 420Mt TBR @ 30 June 2021: 423 Items Read 79. Shuri: The Search for Black Panther, […]

My To-Be-Read pile is starting to creep upward again, despite another excellent month of reading. May saw me run out of podcasts and consequently go on something of an audiobook binge. Mt TBR Status Mt TBR @ 1 January 2021: 426Mt TBR @ 30 April 2021: 416Mt TBR @ 31 May 2021: 420 Items Read […]

Last month, I mentioned I was trying a new approach to my TBR, recommended by Sandstone. Safe to say it has been very effective. This was probably also helped by some improvements in my health. Mt TBR Status Mt TBR @ 1 January 2021: 426Mt TBR @ 31 March 2021: 425Mt TBR @ 30 April […]

A recent obsession with the game Hades probably hasn’t helped. My […]

Happy New Year! I hope those of you celebrating had wonderful holidays. I could have used a little more reading, but had a wonderful time with family. This is usually the part where I look back over my reading stats for the past year, but I have decided to forego the navel-gazing this time. There […]
Continue ReadingThere are two months of the year that historically bad times for my reading and both precede months of major celebrations. One is August (just about everyone I know has a birthday in September). The other is November. This year hasn’t proved any different, though a last-minute surge meant that my overall TBR stats broke […]

October proved to be a pretty average month for my reading. It did involve a little more rereading than usual, as I returned to a couple of series I hadn’t touched in a while. In a bid to encourage myself to read some of the piles of fanfic I have marked for later, I’ve started […]

April generally sees a spike in my reading, in part due to Dewey’s Readathon (there’s a corresponding spike in October, when the readathon also runs). This year’s spike is a bit bigger than usual, as I never quite slowed down after the readathon was over. Mt TBR Status Mt TBR @ 1 January 2019: 442 […]
