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.

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.

Did I rearrange this shelf hoping to hide the fact that there are more books on it than there were last month?

…maybe. I might have done that.

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.

Pretty sure this is the lightest the shelf has been in months (EDIT: It’s been a year.) I can make a significant dent in this next month if I’m disciplined about not spending a ton of money. LOL.

Tomorrow’s Monthly Reads is going to be insane.

Picking on church billboards is such low hanging fruit that it’s not even worth it most of the time, but I drove past this … message on my way home today, and I needed to preserve it. I may have the verbs slightly wrong (I was driving, after all) but the weird part is preserved correctly:

Trust in The Lord
Delight in “
Commit to “

… with fucking quotation marks, just like that. The quotation marks were red, though.

I will never understand Christians.

(EDIT: Now featuring the correct phrasing.)

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

Gotta get this up early, because there may or may not be like six new books showing up today.

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.
