    Normally, I’d open this particular wrap-up with a jovial tone and Pride jokes but… June was intense for me this year. Not necessarily in a negative way, but it was a lot and I have eight books to talk about. So no preamble this time. In June, I read six books and DNF’d two. Of

  • The Best Books of 2019

    Despite reading less books than years past, I would qualify 2019 as my best reading year. It was certainly better than 2018, when I only managed to read about 70 books. I read more books in 2019 by simply reading for quality over quantity. How? Well, good books are easier to finish. And so, I’ve

  • May 2019 Wrap-Up

    May was a better reading month than I realized. I’d thought I didn’t read much, but I actually managed to read seven books. I’m happy for me. But how was the quality? Well, it was so-so. I read two amazing books, but most of the rest were just okay. One was really bad (and if
