I put the new bookshelves in place today— two full-size Billys from our friends at Ikea– and … sigh:
Sooooo much to read.

Unread Shelf: April 30, 2026
Looks kinda rough, right? Hahaha you have no idea:
And we aren’t fucking done:
Minor milestone: this will be the final Unread Shelf for the bookshelf in the top picture, which has hosted my unread books since I began this series ten thousand years ago. It is being replaced this weekend with something sturdier and just barely wider, and also I can never leave the house again because I have too much to read.

How long, do you think, will I hold out until I cave and call this post “Unread Shelves”?
Unread Shelf: February 28, 2026
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.

I think this counts as progress, actually.

Hm. Well, that’s a problem. But not my fault; I did everything I could, and you did too.
… also, why are you still here?
Monthly Reads: November 2025
Book of the Month is Matt Dinniman’s This Inevitable Ruin, because shut up, that’s why.

… yeah, it’s gonna take two pictures again. Sigh. I’ve got two weeks off coming, I can tighten this up. I swear.
One book in one of those pictures was bought out of spite. See if you can guess which one! Your hint is that it’s new this month, but unfortunately there are a lot of those.
