Oddly, this made the number of books I read this month drop considerably, though the average number of pages per book went up. I had a blast with both RPG elements of the challenge as well as the reading […]

The urge to do some spring cleaning hit me this month and particularly targeted my Mt TBR. It was finally time for me to let go of some things that I just wasn’t ever going to get around to reading. I’ve not noted the specifics of what I unhauled, but you can see the impact […]

The more I read, the more I want to read. Which is to say that Mt TBR keeps slowly creeping upward. It was an interesting mix of stuff this month. There’s fanfic alongside some heavier philosophy and memoir. A couple of Lodestar nominees. And I seem to be on a bit of an audio binge. […]

Friends, I’m feeling very tired. I am continuing to deal with some health issues and some significant changes to household routine. So, I have decided to embrace the trend towards short and/or fluffy in my reading for the time being. You can continue to expect to see a lot of romance on my lists in […]

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 […]

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 […]
