The blog of Luther M. Siler, teacher, author and local curmudgeon
This is easily the smallest stack of books that I’ve posted since I started doing this series some number X of years ago, and while I really didn’t get a lot of reading done in September, it’s worth pointing out that I started Ken Liu’s thousand-page Speaking Bones in late August and it took until the 11th to finish. So while this was still a light month it’s not quite as light as the pile indicates.
Book of the Month is Nicholas Eames’ Kings of the Wyld.
This was a month where I bought several new books and then didn’t read very much, so … yeah. And I even pulled a couple of books off the shelf and decided I wasn’t reading them after all; I don’t do that very often.
Who else could not possibly be any happier to see the end of August?
Six books, all from my Unread Shelf, next to Squirrelly Dan for scale. Which book has the most pages, and which has the fewest? The answer may surprise and enthrall you!
This is not the otter, whose name was Wildcat, but the peacock took better pictures. This is the closest he’s ever let me get.
The Book of the Month is going to be Ciel Pierlot’s Bluebird, I think, although you can probably imagine there was some steep competition.
And my brother gave me a book he wanted me to read while we were in Michigan. Sigh.
I’m not gonna lie, there were a LOT of DNFs this month, but the Book of the Month is nonetheless Riley Black’s The Last Days of the Dinosaurs.
