Bought too many books this month and also didn’t read enough. The pile tomorrow is going to be the smallest in quite a while.

Monthly Reads: January 2026
Aka the “This is getting ridiculous” edition, AKA Snow Days Edition.
The most ridiculous thing? I forgot to grab K.X. Song’s The Dragon Wakes with Thunder and decided not to go back for it. So that’s not all of them.
Book of the Month is Children of Ash and Elm, with a special recognition for Hekate the Witch.

I think this counts as progress, actually.
Snnooooowwwwwwww
I know I’ve taken basically this exact same picture any number of times, but I thought the snow was especially pretty this morning. Note the ice berm at the foot of the driveway that I get to clear later this afternoon. Whee!
Monthly Reads: December 2025
Honestly, this wasn’t a great month, with more DNFs than usual. We’re going to call Shadows upon Time the Book of the Month, and The Blackfire Blade, The Scour, and His Majesty’s Dragon were standouts among the rest.

Hm. Well, that’s a problem. But not my fault; I did everything I could, and you did too.
… also, why are you still here?
Monthly Reads: November 2025
Book of the Month is Matt Dinniman’s This Inevitable Ruin, because shut up, that’s why.

… yeah, it’s gonna take two pictures again. Sigh. I’ve got two weeks off coming, I can tighten this up. I swear.
One book in one of those pictures was bought out of spite. See if you can guess which one! Your hint is that it’s new this month, but unfortunately there are a lot of those.
