Tumblr friends, this Wednesday will be a Zoom meeting regarding ICE Watch and how to create a safe, non-violent community devoted to monitoring ICE and holding it, DHS, and everybody in support of this nightmare accountable.

My Storygraph 2025 Wrap-Up! I actually changed my reading goals twice this year because I hit my goals. But be it one book or 150 books, reading anything this past year is great!

Hey! Another season, another logging of my books. As always, comics and short fiction will be notated. My fall season is as follows:

1. Everything Matters! by Ron Currie, Jr.

2. 100 Bullets Vol. 4: A Foregone Tomorrow by Brian Azzarello*

3. 100 Bullets Vol. 5: The Counterfifth Detective by Brian Azzarello*

4. 100 Bullets Vol. 6: Six Feet Under the Gun by Brian Azzarello*

5. 100 Bullets Vol. 7: Samurai by Brian Azzarello*

6. 100 Bullets Vol. 8: The Hard Way by Brian Azzarello*

7. Jaws by Peter Benchley

8. Before the Batman by David Lewman

9. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce*

10. My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

11. Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie

12. The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury

13. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab

14. Midnight Timetable: A Novel in Ghost Stories by Bora Chung

15. Valley of Shadows by Rudy Ruiz

16. Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

17. The Crow by James O'Barr*

Books I loved: Bury Our Bones In the Midnight Soil, The Crow, My Best Friend's Exorcism

Books I didn't like: Valley of Shadows, 100 Bullets Vol. 5

Side-note: I get why 100 Bullets is held in high regard as far as the plotting goes, but man has the comic not aged well. A lot of stereotypes and illustrations of POCs that look like something out of a minstrel show.

Nobody: ...

Victor Hugo: HEY, YOU WANNA HEAR ABOUT ARCHITECTURE?! *proceeds to describe every brick of a building while occasionally referencing a character.*

Day 30: Puppies, Dogs, and Blue Northers by Gary Paulsen. Not exactly a novel, but I'm counting it. One of the few books that made me ugly cry.

[uhohitskreglow]

Novelvember Day 29: What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson. I'll say it: the only reason to watch the movie is Robin Williams. The book is miles better than the film. An emotional story wrapped in interesting worldbuilding. If an afterlife exists, I want this one to be it.

[uhohitskreglow]

Day 28: Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson. An odd collection of connected vignettes centered on a drug-addled character named Fuckhead. When college burnt out my love of reading for a time, this was one of the few books that I enjoyed.

[uhohitskreglow]

Day 27: The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones. Creepy horror story involving a vengeful deer spirit, AND it takes place around Thanksgiving? SOLD.

[uhohitskreglow]

Day 26: Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. I realize a lot of my recs have been intense, so let's diversify with a cozy fantasy novel about an orc warrior creating a coffee shop. A sweet and enjoyable story.

[uhohitskreglow]

Day 25: Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Despite some dated/problematic elements, this book still holds up as an engaging adventure book. Highly recommended for fans of pulp.

[uhohitskreglow]

Day 24: The Midnight Timetable by Bora Chung. I loved her previous collection, Cursed Bunny, so it was neat to see Chung do a more connected story. Those who are fans of stuff like SCP will enjoy this a lot.

[uhohitskreglow]

Day 23: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. This was one I didn't appreciate enough when I first read it. Reading it again: horrifying, beautiful, and hard to put down. A book that still should be read because like a pine, the behaviors of predators are evergreen.
