Well, it's been two months. I've just been too lazy to post this, honestly. That and I haven't been consuming as much as before. It's amazing how the numbers shift when you aren't listening to audiobooks at work everyday ( Read more... )

Back to unemployment. My intuition saw this coming, though the reasons given to me seemed more like excuses. Regardless, I've used this past week to catch up on a few literary endeavors, such as catching up on Weave submissions, reading The Bell Jar, submitting a poem a bunch of times, reading a friend's story (which will take forever because it ( Read more... )

Well, this is a first... waiting til the middle of the subsequent month to summarize books from the previous month. Oops ( Read more... )

So this is incredibly late, and I already have three books finished for April. I'm amazed at how many books I was able to finish in March. I'm still working through titles on BBC's 100 Books to Read Before You Die, and the recommended readings list that I received from Chatham. And of course books in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Arts and Lecture ( Read more... )

Some of you still keep tabs on me, particularly with certain aspects of my relationship. So, I dedicate this post to you ( Read more... )

Hello, March. A new month, a new section on the list. I swear I have a life outside of reading. Just... not a big one.

( January and February )

Well, it's a new year and a new list. I didn't expect to have consumed so many books in the first month. Mike showed me a book challenge from a guy who aspired to read a book every day in the course of a year. The guy had a couple kids and a day-job. He read multiple books at once, saved smaller books for quicker reading and then read larger books ( Read more... )

So I hit my goal and surpassed it. I got to 110, down to the wire. When I got close, I pushed myself to get it and almost didn't succeed. I finished 109 before heading out to gatherings last night, and then Mike helped me reach 110 with a short (and nonfiction) audiobook. I'm amazing that I managed to read this much in a year. It's as if each month ( Read more... )

Well, it's December. And you know what? NaNoWriMo ATE MY LIFE. I completed the challenge but not the book, and barely read anything. I tried to continue Dreams of Terror and Death but then finished the novella I wanted to finish, also completed a short story, and then got interested in a fairy tale book and so put H.P. Lovecraft back on my shelf ( Read more... )

Whoops... It's November. This is much later than I usually post, but NaNoWriMo and work has sort of taken up permanent residence in most available space in my mind, soo.... not much else is retained. For October, I wanted to follow a Halloween theme, hence all the vampires and zombies. It seemed that the late-September and October months contained ( Read more... )
