February books read: @littleinklingsdesign Always Booked Up planner and stickers from @plan_with_monica. 12 books, 4.54 star average, same as last month, no DNF. Good month again. My goal for the year is 144, 12 books a month, so I am still ahead of the game. 31 at the end of February, my birthday month. If you want to follow along or join my reading challenges, you can friend me on @the.storygraph as theremightbecupcakes. For a classic a month, I read A Prayer Journal by Flannery O’Connor. #books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #theremightbecupcakes #johnglatt #truecrime #flanneryoconnor #februarybooks #horror #cursiveismagic #2023books #2023bookstagram #billyjoearmstrong #greenday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_N0oAMQ9K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh my my oh hell yes. My reserve came in at the Amherst library, and now I am getting a little sun in the car and beginning it while my MIL and husband grocery shop. I earned it; I dropped off my physical therapy prescription and made sure they can do my mobility evaluation for my power wheelchair. My first appointment is next Wednesday. Now to get some fresh air and sunshine and return to Yale. (I miss Yale; haven’t been back since 1989 but this series brings it back so vividly to me.) #Books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #prettybookcovers #theremightbecupcakes #leighbargudo #horror #horrorbooks (at Amherst County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3GPnluQlj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love the reading goal tracker in my @littleinklingsdesign Always Booked Up planner. Using stickers from @plan_with_monica, it’s a fun way to look at my reading habits. I use back stickers to denote horror reads, and I am going in order otherwise with Monica’s rainbow setup for a cheerful look. So I have read 13 ebooks, 28 audiobooks (@audible user for 23 years now!), and 1 print books so far. This disparity is due to how flared up I have been; when your hands are hurting, it is hard to hold up a physical book, and when your eyes are blurry, some print is hard to manage.

I am reading at least one classic that I have not read this year, following a challenge on @the.storygraph (link to my personal challenge in profile, follow along and challenge yourself as well, and friend me—I’m theremightbecupcakes there). My books for March and April are the short stories of Sylvia Plath and William Faulkner. I’ve never read Sylvia’s, and Norton Anthologies didn’t take me much beyond the delightfully chilling “A Rose For Emily” 🥀, which I skipped ahead and reread. #books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #prettybookcovers #theremightbecupcakes #williamfaulkner #sylviaplath #shortstories #thestorygraph https://www.instagram.com/p/CpacFXeOmCq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gorgeous birthday present to myself last month, upgrading from my worn mass market paperback copy from my high school years. #nofilterneeded Cover design and illustration by Jim Tierney. So luscious. Can’t wait to read it again. #books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #prettybookcovers #theremightbecupcakes #thelastunicorn #jimtierney #petersbeagle https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVX9zxu2r4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My @bookshop_org back order came in just in time for my birthday week! Going to devour it in order to produce the third episode in my series on the Three Mothers/Suspiria movie series. Isn’t that a gorgeous cover?

January books read: @littleinklingsdesign Always Booked Up planner and stickers from @plan_with_monica. 19 books, 4.54 star average, no DNF. Good month. My goal for the year is 144, 12 books a month, so I am ahead of the game. Finally read Michael McDowell’s Blackwater Saga, all six books of it, and it was fascinating and dark and eerie. A horror author that truly understands human nature is a treasure. If you want to follow along or join my reading challenges, you can friend me on @the.storygraph as theremightbecupcakes. For a classic a month, I read The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells, and for the African American Literary Canon, I read The Best of Simple: Stories by Langston Hughes, which was delightful. #Books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #theremightbecupcakes #langstonhughes #hgwells #michaelmcdowell #januarybooks #horror https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLnrxhsQ1G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
