Thirty or forty years old, living in Pittsburgh. I distract myself from the horrors with books and sports

And now here before I forget are the books I read this month, which I am actually posting about before the month ends, hooray:
November 1, 2025 at 1:44 AM
Last one, including the table of contents since this was a short story anthology. I highlighted the ones I particularly enjoyed, but they all were quite good!

More September reads. All about that mass market paperback this month

Somehow not only September has come and gone but now October has too. What is time?? Anyway here’s what I read in Sept, post 1/2–

Reading is one of the ways I stay sane, and remember that there’s a lot in this life that makes me happy too. I’m always reading something. Here’s what I read in July—

Okay, well, uh. I spent my afternoon looking at cool plants and flowers at the conservatory so here’s a few pictures of that instead

FREE: bodyguard romance that is real big on consent & pining and really against gentrification: I liked it!

BURY: felt like a successor to Siren Queen in some ways, extremely fun with lots to think about, ie, Chuck Tingle’s classic way

SHOT: adorbs, and obvious Brown knows her hockey
July 16, 2025 at 12:43 AM
HARVEST: Profoundly moving, and easily one of my top books of the year already

SIREN: Whew another banger! Will be thinking about this one for a while too

DROP: a worthy, twisty, unsettling sequel to The Tainted Cup, with a mystery that kept me guessing

GENTLEMAN: thoroughly charming

Sharing my black cat to add to the small black cat luck in this thread. May we all be able to bask happily in a sunbeam surrounded by our favorite things

Also, just finished this book today and liked it tremendously. It’s about queerness and identity and family, and the ways those we love can cause us harm, and help us heal (and how sometimes the harm and the healing comes from the same people). Will be thinking of this one for a while

New profile picture! Detail of a jousting shield I saw at the Met. I relate to the owl’s expression of haunted exasperation

March reads! Weirdly stressed that I only finished two books in the entire month (I started another one but am still working on it). But yk what, who cares! I read these two and they were really good!
