November reading. Still don't have the TBR pile fully cleared but getting closer.
Haven't been on here much due to the SAD being really bad this year, but I got a meds adjustment and hopefully that will help.

Books read in October. 15 read, 8 new books in. A little bit of progress on clearing the TBR shelf. We'll see what November brings.

September reading! No library books month because I was trying to read my purchased stacks down. Unfortunately I read 13 and bought 12, so that didn't really work. Trying again for October. 😂

Took a little jaunt down to Columbus to indie-bookstore browse this weekend; here's the haul* from Two Dollar Radio HQ and The Book Loft. I always find something great and weird and indie at both of these stores.
* the bottom two are from Barnes & Noble due to complicated reasons. but the rest!
