January/February 2022
Hello! I am, remarkably, still alive! But damn the past few months have been weird and busy and in many ways both good and terrible!
Week 47
I’m back, baby! With a book I had committed to read which then took, uh, too long. Sorry about that. Life is complicated, sometimes. Anyhoo
This week: WARRIOR OF DARKNESS by Marie Bilodeau
Week 44 - ?
Week 43
Another October week, and, shockingly, another Hallowe’en-y read! I know, I surprise myself too.
This week: RED X by David Demchuk
Week 42
As we plunge further into October, I plunge further into various cardigans and sweaters, and tentatively dip my toes into some spooky stories. Maybe, if the library complies with my requests.
This week: MY HEART IS A CHAINSAW by Stephen Graham Jones
Week 41
We’re chugging into October and I have yet to read a spooky book. They’re in the line, I promise! It’s just hard to coordinate library loans, lolsob. I am getting slowly swamped by them. Send help.
This week: RISE TO THE SUN by Leah Johnson
Week 40
Hmmmmm October. Hmmmmmmm.
On one hand, spooky, I guess. On the other hand, the snows are coming, and perhaps even more than that, time presses ever onward in strange and confusing ways.
This week: REDEMPTOR by Jordan Ifueko
Week 39
September feels like it’s rapidly drawing to a close, and that’s just…unaccountably strange to me. I do not understand it, the passage of time is lost to me, yada yada yada.
On the bright side, I see, like, a light? For the first time in a year and a half at least? So that’s fun.
This week: A LESSON IN VENGEANCE by Victoria Lee, IN THE REALM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS by Gabor Maté
Week 38
We’ve entered that strange time of year where nobody quite seems to know what to wear, and I feel as though the pandemic has not made that system any easier. When you don’t go out all that often, how DOES one dress??
The good news is that reading doesn’t involve going out, generally speaking. Yay!
This week: YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS NIGHT by Daniel Howell, PRINCESS OF LIGHT by Marie Bilodeau
Week 37
Well, we are fully into September now. Somehow I managed to read some books this week despite also hosting my partner’s parents, which — y’know what, we don’t have time, let’s just get to some books.
This week: COME AS YOU ARE by Emily Nagoski & THE TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTON by Ryan Douglass
