Had several challenges to finish up, so literary took the lead this month. I think this is the first time horror has been as low as third place!
I think listening to Tim Curry read A Christmas Carol might just be a new Christmas Eve tradition.

Back to normal with horror and literary on top.
Read some good ones, and some not so good ones thanks to the SG Reads the World Challenge.
Managed to only DNF three this month, with the intention of picking one back up as digital vs. audio.

This is plastered on all of our state government pages. They had to add the quotation by the governor because the original statement without it violated state law. Nebraska Nice. When are you coming back to visit us?

Romance took the lead this month as I try to finish my BIPOC Jane Austen Challenge.
Read “13 Black Cats…” for the first meeting of my new book club at my local indie bookshop Oh, the Horror! I have to say I wasn’t impressed. Storygraph recommendations let me down on this one. 💙📚🩸📚

July Reads: Rough start to the month, but ended strong. Four DNF’s in a row, I guess that’ll happen when you’re trying to fulfill challenge categories and decide to pick audiobooks for the narrator more than the author/story, but damnit I love Rebecca Lowman. Lit fic beat horror this month!

June Reads: Happy Pride!
💙💜💚💛🧡❤️
I focused on queer authors/themes this month (I was already in the middle of Tomorrow,and…, but it had elements).
Some great reads & some great disappointments. Two DNF’s & one paused, I think I need memoirs to be audio cause they are not my bag.

Didn’t have starting a war on my 2025 bingo card, but probably should have.
Since my bingo card seems to be full guess I’ll treat myself to a rad shirt and go out in style.
