Books read in September
It is probably not considered unusual by this point that my monthly reading list contains only one book. Rather than letting this bother me, I will see it as an opportunity to spend a little more space on this little paperback.
Prepare yourself for lists of adjectives. (more…)
Library of the soul (book read in August)
Books read in July
Well, I’m not quite sure how August is here already, but regardless, here is my reading update. (more…)
Books read in January
I’m still taking it easy. Rather than force myself to read, and stress myself into apathy again, I’m taking small steps. Don’t worry though, I’m getting better. Just careful not to overdo it.

Books read in November and December
Yet again this seems to have turned into an every-second-month post. I actually considered whether I should change the series to only update every two months, if that is what seems more natural. However, I’ve decided that it was a coincidence that it happened twice in a row. I couldn’t post September’s update, because my laptop was in the shop for a hard drive transplant. I didn’t post November’s update due to NaNoWriMo and pure exhaustion. It was circumstantial why this happened. So these posts will continue the same way they have before. I really enjoy writing them and I hope someone enjoys reading them.
So let’s move on to the exciting stuff.

Books read in September and October
Hey guys, so we’re doing things a little differently today. You may remember that I took an unexpected blog hiatus when my almost-five-year-old laptop’s hard drive failed. Last when I posted my laptop was still in for repairs and I didn’t know how much data I was going to lose. (more…)

I mean book read in August. Well, book and two short stories… And a few chapters of another book… Let’s just move on. (more…)
Books read in July
How did I manage to read any books last month, on top of writing and the Shakespeare cartoons? Well, I did fail at the writing and the cartoons were late a couple of times, that’s how. (more…)
Books read in April
A strange combination of literary parody, epic high fantasy finales and pretentious teens. (more…)
Books read in March
Sometimes I have more thoughts than book reviews. (more…)
Books read in November
Which contains more than you might expect, given that November was NaNoWriMo.
Books read in October
A return to old-fashioned fantasy after the bleak reality of war, nightmares and dystopia of the last couple of months.
Books read in September
Or book actually. But at 550 pages, Wool by Hugh Howey quite fills up the noun “book”. (more…)

Books read in July
I should never ever say when I intend to publish my next post. Because every time I do something happens like magic to prevent me from doing that. When I say nothing everything is fine and I can post whenever I want. So, here are the books that I read in July, almost a week later than I said it would be. Nothing come up until I have finished typing this. (more…)
Books read in May & June
Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. This post was meant to be published at the beginning of June. I’d planned it to celebrate this blog’s third birthday on 29 May (THREE YEARS OLD, GUYS! Is that crazy or what?!) because I wanted to introduce a new monthly feature with it. This one to be exact.
Book review: A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki
Several posts ago (I’m not going to go look for the one in question now) I stated my intention to pick a random book to read during Easter Break. I was feeling bored with everything I was reading and I thought that it would be a good way to break out of this reading lethargy. You know, I stick to my accustomed-to shelves pretty religiously. Fantasy, sci-fi to a lesser extent, some historical novels that preferably do not consist only of smut, YA occasionally and all of the millions of classical and renaissance works that I have to read for class. So I was going to ignore those shelves when looking for something new to read and look for something outside of my comfort zone. And boy, am I glad I did.
