One book away from my goal! Currently reading: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman The Poet Empress by Shen Tao #readingisfundamental📚 #reading2026

Knowing absolutely nothing about Supergirl mostly, I enjoyed it. Lobo was definitely a fav.

I want an epilogue that lasts an entire whole novel after they get through the hard stuff showing their happy ending. 😅

I’m really enjoying Japanese Gothic. Halfway in and I have no idea where she’s going but the journey so far is great.

I’ve been listening to Amina Al-Sarifi and I keep hoping for Easter eggs from the Daevabad trilogy but I didn’t start the trilogy until after the first book. Looking back the peri was the obvious one and, I guess, Dara could show up in Tempest. Trying to remember if I missed any others.

Can’t decide if I should read or listen to Lonesome Dove. I read it a long time ago so maybe I should listen.

Is it weird that I like to quiz myself on books I’ve read? I feel like I must long for the classroom 😂

Life changing #booksky

A nice assortment. Still working on a couple before I pick my next few although I have a few ideas about what to start with. I’m thinking, maybe Radium Girls Tapestry of Fate Demon Copperhead Taiwanese Travelogue Plus finishing the City of Brass trilogy #readingisfundamental📚 #reading2026

All these open ending are driving me crazy! I want to know what happened next! Everyone leaving me hanging!

Christian Conundrum

A recent favorite quote “I’ve also called these people self-righteous eye molesters.” 😂

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

I feel like I needed to relisten to all of Dungeon Crawler Carl before starting Parade, maybe after I finish Parade.

What a great idea. I should watch Alien for Mother’s Day.

Most Definitely ♥️

My heart says get another tattoo but my pocketbook says can you really afford that? 🤪

Mortal Kombat wasn’t cinematic brilliance or anything but it was fun. My favorite part was Hiroyuki Sanada.

Finished my latest audiobook just in time for the countdown to the Parade of Horribles audiobook.

I seem to have misplaced my motivation.

Happy May the Forest Be With You!

I so enjoyed The Bloodsworn Saga. I’m sad to be done with those characters.

Today has been the longest of days #readingisfundamental #reading2026

A Court of Mist and Fury was definitely a step up from A Court of Thorn and Roses. The ending got me and now I’m invested 😂

I appreciate the thing Joe Hill did with chapters in NOS4A2, maybe only more obvious because I’m listening.

I wouldn’t have thought it was true but shorter chapters in nonfiction books does make it easier to read 😂 Chain of Ideas was an engaging read but I feel like I tore through it.

All the cooling systems in my life have failed me at the same time. My radiator AND HVAC what kind tomfoolery is this 😭

Finally received the last volume of my manhua so I could finally begin. Girl does not like a cliffhanger, which is funny because I’ve already read it once so is it really a cliffhanger? It is making me want to reread the novels though. #readingisfundamental #reading2026

How to Hide an Empire was so accessible and easy to read.

I still lean more fantasy than sci fi. It definitely gave Bladerunner/Matrix vibes. Also possible I prefer my sci fi in a movie format. Next up Foundation.

Project Hail Mary might have me listening to Harry Styles discography while I try to decide if I should relisten to PHM. I’m deciding between NOS42, 11/22/63, and PHM. Thought about starting WoT but I can’t finish the series before the next DCC is released. It’s good to have options.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Listening to New Spring. Hearing the names of things and people pronounced versus how I thought they were pronounced #wheeloftime

Wow. The end. I miss those characters already. I need like a second longer epilogue. I kind of want to read them all over again . . . maybe listen. What an idea. #wheeloftime

And lo I have reached he final book . . . it’s been a journey. . . #wheeloftime

It felt like Perrin’s character had made some progress on his character development but it has all been erased with the latest story . . . maybe.

Look at the news…buy books. Yesterdays book haul

I can’t decide if February was just slow or the books just hefty. #readingisfundamental📚 #reading2026

Realized the more I look at the news the more books I buy.

I really enjoyed Empire of the Dawn but I’m going to need a whole other book after that ending. IYKYK

Five authors I’ve read at least five books by: Robert Jordan Stephen King Stephen Graham Jones George RR Martin RF Kuang

I had hoped to see deer on my morning walk but I saw a coral snake on my bike ride . . . even better. It was so cute 🥰

I’ve got to this point in my audiobook where it’s officially moving too slowly and I might need to move to the actual book 😂 I’m like you’re resolving the angst too slowly.

I feel like singing another bites the dust! Only three more books left but at least~700 pages there’s no only about it. #wheeloftime

1) Gambit 2) Glorfindel 3) Constantine 4) Spock

Reading Braiding Sweetgrass is like a warm hug. It’s a refreshing change from the nonfiction I normally read.
