Book of the Month is Matt Dinniman’s This Inevitable Ruin, because shut up, that’s why.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A lot of good stuff this May, but we’re gonna call Agrippina, by Emma Southon, the Book of the Month.

Quite a bit of good stuff this month, but we’re giving Book of the Month to Capitana, by Cassandra James, which — what the hell — I never reviewed? It’s great, read it– along with The Silverblood Promise and Advocate.
