With just a glance you can probably tell what I spent all of February doing. 😅

I binged the entire Princess Diaries series this month, with a few extra audiobooks thrown in for good measure.

Clwojick Wow! I had no idea there were that many books in the series! I would‘ve guessed 6 or 7 2y
Gnora @Clwojick yup! There‘s 10 in the original series, plus 4 novellas, which plus 2 adult books published latter. 2y

For what this is, it‘s a lot of fun, but it‘s certainly not for everyone.

That take on the classic clinch cover is so amazing that I had to read it. 🤣😅

November was by and far my slowest month of the year. I was in a major reading slump.

October 2022 was a pretty amazing reading month! I actually took an entire week off at the beginning of the month as a belated summer break and read 6 of the above books during that week. It was glorious.

Two of my most anticipated 2022 books, Nona the Ninth and Just Like Home, were every bit as amazing as I hoped. I finally got around to Convenience Store Woman, The Midnight Library, and Ten Thousand Doors of January, all of which rocked!

Halloween Party (Poirot) | Agatha Christie
post image

I‘ve been on a pretty major Agatha Christie kick this year, and the weirdest part has been the sheer amount of time her career spans.

Her first book was punished in 1920, shortly after the end of WWI. This books was published in 1969 and references “Hemp” and LSD in the first chapter. The changes in culture over that period for a pop culture writer are staggering.

#mystery #seasonal #halloween #audio #hoopla #librarybook

Gnora All this made more complicated by the fact I always associate her with the 1920s, and therefore am so surprised when she references things that come much later. 2y

Feeling very lukewarm at best about this one thus far. I‘ve been reading Holly Black‘s books since I was in middle school, but her first foray into adult lit@isn‘t really doing it for me. 😅

Gonna give it some more time though.

July felt like a month where I struggled to read anything, but in reality I only struggled with print books. Seven of these were audio, only two non-manga print. I finished Chef's Kiss in basically two sittings and it was adorbs.

I also journaled a lot about this month's books. They left me with a lot to think about.

April 2022 #bookreport!

I was leaning really heavy on the audio this month, with everything but the comics being audio books. I need to actually finish a print book to help break the slump.

Decided instead of doing this monthly I'd just do it every time I finished six novels. Honestly, I feel like 12 books may be the furthest I've ever gotten on the Popsugar challenge. I know it's not - it just feels like it is.
