Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book meme run by That Artsy Reader Girl. I thought this week’s topic would be an interesting one to delve into, as I used to review nearly every book I read, but lately I’ve been reviewing maybe a handful or so a year from what I read. Looking a little further back so as to not make it too easy on myself, I was surprised to find some of these I really hadn’t reviewed, while others I still feel a pang of regret.Read More »
I know it wasn’t just me, but goodness January felt like it lasted much too long. So long, in fact, that I could’ve sworn I had already posted about one of the new books included in this post today. I actually had to cross-reference with when I wrote down somewhere else that I’d finally gotten it to confirm. I think reading Moby-Dick honestly had the most to do with the protracted time for me, along with the dreary cold of the season.
I think I talk about time too much, when really this is about these new books.Read More »
Look at us go, we’re officially in the mid-2020s. Just like that, we’re in the middle of a decade that sometimes feels like it started last year, as time marches forever forward. I’m sorry if people are sick of these clichés, by they are clichés for a reason, after all, and like anybody else I must reckon with the passage of time as I get older.
It’s been a couple of years now since my reading challenges became altogether more relaxed, and I must say that it’s been a net positive. I do feel that I’m a lot happier and more easygoing about these things than I used to be. Let’s have a look at what I accomplished in 2024Read More »
December was a weird month because once again I feel like I’m forgetting something, and I feel as if I did a lot more shopping for myself than was actually the case, so I keep thinking the stock I’ve taken of my books is wrong. This isn’t helped by the fact that I actually did forget a book in November, busy month that that one was. All I can say for sure is, I didn’t get any books for Christmas, so I’m not carelessly forgetting a gift.
Enough waffling, let’s see these books.Read More »
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book meme run by That Artsy Reader Girl. Goodness, I did not realize until today that I have apparently not written one of these since all the way back in March. Lately, subjects hadn’t grabbed me when I’ve checked up on the listing, but I think I’ve been remiss in how little I’ve been checking, since I wish I’d contributed more throughout the year. This is an easy one to jump in on, at any rate, as I have a few books I still want to read before the year is done and a bunch more I’m hoping to start in the new year and the months following.Read More »
In contrast to October, where I would perhaps expect a little more indulgence, I went ham this past month. Part of it was just thanks to a personal boon, but I let myself get a little carried away at thrift shops too.
Let’s see what I’ve picked up.Read More »
I think this is the longest I’ve neglected posting one of these. October was an interesting month for reading, but despite it being my birthday month and a time perhaps for picking up more spooky reads, I didn’t do much of any book shopping, which feels weird. So, on top of things feel a bit weird with work, I’ve let this uneventful month lie unwritten about for almost two weeks. Time to fix that.
Let’s see the new books!Read More »
Once again, the Halloween season has come and gone, and it’s time to look back at all of the spooky books I managed to read in this year’s horror reading showcase hosted by Silver Button Books.
I feel like I did a little better last year, and there were a couple of books that I’m disappointed I failed to read, but I’m still rather happy with how things turned out. Below are my Frighteningly Good Reads for 2024, though the selection looks a little different from what I presented at the start of last month.Read More »
Once again this year, I will be taking part in Frighteningly Good Reads, a horror reading showcase hosted by Silver Button Books.
This year she’s organized a Bingo card, which I will see how well I do on, but my reading list this year, as per usual, is mostly just tailored toward what books I really feel like checking out this year.
Without further, here are my Frighteningly Good Reads for 2024:
On top of this, I want to challenge myself to find a book at the library to include among these. I have a graphic novel in mind already, but if I can find a novella I would really like to do that too.
This is a fairly modest number of books, but my reading speed has been especially stunted lately, so I’ll be happy if I can get these ones done.
Have you got any books you’re reading for the Halloween season? Let me know below, and thank you for reading!
The past month was a surprisingly heavy one for book shopping, though I mainly blame a surprise library book sale that came up. It’s hard not to make some especially impulsive, even random, purchases when books are going for one or two dollars. I also got a little fixated on determining how my shelf would look going forward with a certain series and ended up picking up a couple brand new books too.
Now let’s see what books I’m carrying on about.Read More »
