Book of the Month is the most excellent The Black Hunger, by Nicholas Pullen. This was kind of a bleh month overall, but Slewfoot and Trad Wife were pretty good too.

How long, do you think, will I hold out until I cave and call this post “Unread Shelves”?

Book of the Month is Shen Tao’s The Poet Empress. The John Lewis and Malcolm X books were really solid as well.

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.

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!

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.
