The blog of Luther M. Siler, teacher, author and local curmudgeon
I’m genuinely not sure how I pulled that off, given that this isn’t a summer month– Storygraph has me at just barely under 7,000 pages for October, which looks ridiculous until you realize June was 11,500.
At any rate, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride is Book of the Month, followed very closely by Mark Twain. Hastings’ Vietnam book is excellent as well but I’m only about halfway through it.
But hey, at least it all fits on one shelf this time!
Hahahaha lol nope:
Book of the Month is … somehow, The Butcher’s Masquerade, by Matt Dinniman, with a special “yes, I’m serious, and no, I can’t explain it” runner-up award for You Weren’t Meant to be Human, by Andrew Joseph White.
“That’s not that bad,” you might be thinking. “Didn’t you say yesterday that your unread shelf was going to be unprecedented and absolutely ridiculous?”
Yes, I said that. Look closer.
“I mean, it’s interesting that those are all hardbacks. And it’s weird that they’re all the same size. But a bunch of them are new … wait.”
Sigh.
I’m never getting caught up.
I think this might be the best picture of Sushi anyone has ever taken.
Depressing, I know, but remember I stared an 800-page history of London on July 31 and school started this month, so it’s not quite as depressing as it looks.
Book of the Month is Shroud, which I guess I should have reviewed.
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.
Sushi says hello, and that I’m not allowed near my computer to post tonight.
