Continue ReadingMy reading is getting slower and slower this year. I’ve decided it’s time to officially downgrade my reading goals and have set my Goodreads Challenge down to 100 books. Speaking of reading challenges, I didn’t even glance at my selections for the mini Magical Readathon. I was rather disappointed, but recognise I’ve got a lot […]
Continue ReadingFebruary was the month of short: two short story collections, a book of short poems and a couple of novellas. Perhaps that’s fitting for a short month. My reading has continued to be slower this year than it used to be. I’m doing my best to roll with it, but it trips up my planning […]
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 ReadingHappy New Year! I hope those of you celebrating had wonderful holidays. With another year’s reading wrapped up, I find myself pondering the changes to my annual reading totals over time. 2021 was my sixteenth year of gathering data. Prior to 2015 (which was my first full year of running the Earl Grey Editing blog), […]
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 ReadingSeptember was dedicated to the Magical Readathon, run by the incomparable G of the Book Roast. 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 […]
Continue ReadingThe 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 […]
Continue ReadingThe 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. […]
