February 2023 TBR

This month kicks off my Tortall reread! I'm going to start with Beka Cooper, reading Terrier first and then the other two. My goal is to post about each book, and then do a mini wrap-up of the trilogy to both pull my thoughts together and contextualize (yes, so fancy and highfalutin) it within the … Continue reading February 2023 TBR →

January 2023 Wrap-Up

A not-too shabby reading month overall! I read most everything on my monthly tbr (I didn't get to one and DNF'd The Thick and the Lean because #moodreader), but overall I read a lot of really fantastic books...which led to me checking out way too many books from the library and now my nightstand is … Continue reading January 2023 Wrap-Up →

January 2023 TBR

I feel like December and January tbrs and wrap-ups always get the short end of the stick. In December, it's looking back on the entire year. In January, it's looking ahead to the year to come, and I can't say that this post won't do that, because I don't want to have an entire post … Continue reading January 2023 TBR →

2022 Bookish Wrap Up

I'm back! I don't know what it was about 2022, but I focused more on reading and less on...other things, like blogging. I can't say that I missed it. I wrote a lot more creative works than I did in 2021, not that the publishing record reflects that, but when I wasn't worried about churning … Continue reading 2022 Bookish Wrap Up →

September 2022 Wrap-Up

A couple days later than I was intending to make this, but it is here. Anywho, in a move that should surprise exactly no one, I'm taking the blog on hiatus until at least January 1, 2023. The reasons are myriad and not super complex, but I've been having less fun in this space and … Continue reading September 2022 Wrap-Up →

September 2022 TBR

Spooky September is here! And to celebrate, my focus this month is science fiction books (with some fantasy scattered in because why the hell not). And the latest Katherine St John release, because culty thrillers are spooky too, right? Here're the books, and yes, they are all ARCs for the most part, aside from my … Continue reading September 2022 TBR →

August 2022 Wrap-Up

I lived August like it was a Taylor Swift song. It was busy as hell and also slow as hell. I went home to see family in Oregon for the first time in three years at the beginning of August, and my wife was on leave for about three weeks this month, so therefore my … Continue reading August 2022 Wrap-Up →

August 2022 TBR

I had a very ambitious plan for July. Read all my August ARCs (which I over-requested). And then, because I had so few ARCs for September and October, I could...be free of ARCs, and read whatever the fuck I wanted in August. Reader, this absolutely did not happen. Aside from reading 17 books (I added … Continue reading August 2022 TBR →

July 2022 Wrap-Up

I knew that July would be a semi-slumpy month. And that's okay. It followed me binge-reading nearly a book a day for two months for my book club's semi-annual team game. I needed a break. I wrapped my impulsive Murderbot reread and then I read a book that took me a damn month to read … Continue reading July 2022 Wrap-Up →

35 YA Releases, July-September 2022

I meant to post this in June. If I had a list of things I meant to do, it would be...incredibly long. But I'm posting this now, and even though it's kinda almost in the first half of July, I'm considering it a win. There are a lot of really fun looking YA books coming … Continue reading 35 YA Releases, July-September 2022 →
