Before you ask, I was traveling a lot in November, and then work just got crazy. Also, I was reading a lot, as evidenced by the 28 books I listed. October is my favorite month of the year to read because I get to unashamedly go full-horror, full-spooky, full-autumn. Twenty-one books in that month isContinue reading “A rapid fire october + november 2022 reading wrap-up”

I had every intention of just lumping September’s reads into October’s wrap-up as a lazily do for months that weren’t spectacular. However, I’m already at 12 books for October, so I figured it would be smarter to just throw together a quick, very late wrap-up of all of my reads from September. In September IContinue reading “September 2022’s (brief) reading wrap-up”

Are we over halfway through September by the time I am writing this? Yes. Does that matter? Probably, especially in one case. August was a fun reading month, and had all of the things I love most: literary ghost stories, some fantasy, some science-fiction, some queer literature, and a new all-time favorite to top itContinue reading “August 2022 reading wrap-up”

A weak reading month in June forced me to wait a bit longer once again, but patience pays off with this supersized monthly wrap-up! As with March, I found very little inspiration in the books I finished in June, but I came back firing on all cylinders with my reads in July! There was aContinue reading “June + july 2022 reading wrap-up”

May is the new October, apparently! At the end of last month, I had a lot of fun reading Where They Wait, and I decided to keep the horror train rolling into May. I didn’t realize that the horror train really wouldn’t stop, save for one detour that now serves as a bizarre outlier inContinue reading “May 2022 reading wrap-up”

Let me explain. March was such a mediocre reading month and I struggled for days to pretend I enjoyed four of the five books I read enough to call them “Best of the Month.” Finally, I decided that life was too short and that I would combine the wrap-up with April’s, which proved to beContinue reading “March + April 2022 reading wrap-up”

Short month, small batch of books to wrap up! This month, I read six books, a far cry from the person who read 15 this past October, but Pokémon Legends: Arceus came out and that occupied way too much of my free time. Overall, this was a strong month of reads, and I have mostlyContinue reading “February 2022 reading wrap-up”

Look who is publishing this on time this month! New year, new me. I kicked off 2022 with a mixed bags of reads. There was a book that became an all-time favorite, and a book that I loathed more than anything in the past few years (thanks again, book club!) Check out the highlights andContinue reading “January 2022 reading wrap-up”
