So Phoenix had a big ole reading slump in October. And also managed to read progressively less good books as the month went on!

I (Phoenix) managed to read 11 books in September! A good mix of sci-fi and fantasy, some new authors and some...not so new! And yes, I finally read another non-fiction book!

Your friendly tavern-keeps are back to talk about lesbians doing a heist against a misogynistic tech trillionaire in space! That sounds like a recipe for a great book, right? Surely it won't be another cool concept brought down by not-great execution? Listen to find out!

A slightly less productive reading month for Phoenix in August, compared to last month. A couple of really interesting and unique books though, and good progress through some ongoing series!

Somehow, it's reading round-up time for @beansandfungi.bsky.social again! I actually read some classics this month, something I almost never do! And it was my highest monthly average rating this year so far too!

It is time for a round up, Eve’s June reading round up!
Books read: 8
Average rating: 3.5
And we've gone below 4 stars once more. I read a lot of books in June, but many of them disappointed me. Even ones I thought I'd love turned out to be just average!

It's time for Phoenix's May reading round-up! I read some absolutely fantastic books this month, including a couple I'd call new all-time favourites!

It's May wrap up time!
Books read - 6
Average Rating- 4
This May I finally shattered the 4-star ceiling, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. The books I read were top-tier, with some epic fantasy, and a dash of sci-fi dystopia!
