Unread Shelf: August 31, 2025

I swear to God I read books this month, and I also swear to God that end-of-summer book sales are the bane of my existence.

Friday, in cat

Sushi says hello, and that I’m not allowed near my computer to post tonight.

As promised

It was an insanely long day– I looked at my watch at one point, fully expecting it to be 7:30, and it was 2:30– but I am home now, and I can sleep, and somehow it is not Friday and I have to go back to work tomorrow. In the meantime, though, have classroom pictures. In some ways it’s very similar to last year, but I like the tweaks I’ve made an awful lot.

Monthly Reads: July 2025

Not as heavy as last month, but still. Damn.

And I just started London: The Biography, so even if we don’t take school starting into account, that’s gonna lighten next month considerably.

Book of the Month is His Face is the Sun, by Michelle Jabés Corpora.

Unread Shelf: July 31, 2025

Did I rearrange this shelf hoping to hide the fact that there are more books on it than there were last month?

…maybe. I might have done that.

49, unshowered and unshaved

… eh, I’ve looked worse.

View from my Hotel Window: Indianapolis, Weird Al edition

Kinda meh! But we’re here.

Monthly Reads: June 2025

Storygraph tells me this is 11,505 pages. That’s not completely accurate as there are a handful of DNFs in there, so let’s say 10,500. Either way, can you tell I did nothing but read in June?

Book of the Month is gonna be The Faithful Executioner, by Joel F. Harrington.
