What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To: March 2024

| March 6, 2024

Reading: Books to review, including some anthologies and some stand-alone books. Watching: Not much recently other than K-pop related things. Listening To: Recent additions to my list have been Boy Story (which is actually a Chinese group, trained in the K-pop system, and now making a Korean debut) and Just B. The latter is because […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, February 2024

| February 7, 2024

Reading: Continuing to read things for book reviews, though I’m chomping at the bit for a break so I can finish reading my borrowed copy of A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. Watching: Since my last of these posts, we finished Our Flag Means Death season 2. We watched a handful of movies over the holidays (especially […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, December 2023 Edition

| December 6, 2023

Reading: Lots of anthologies and collections lately, which I’m planning to review. I’m finding books of stories easier to read right now than novels. Watching: There hasn’t been a lot we’ve watched lately, since November was NaNoWriMo, and we didn’t have a lot of spare time for TV or movies. We still haven’t finished season […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, November 2023 Edition

| November 8, 2023

Reading: Bunches of books to review. I’ve gotten a lot of short story collections, either as anthologies or single-author collections, which are some of my favorite things to read, for the length and the variety! Watching: Not quite as much as usual, though we caught up on season 2 AND 3 of Reservation Dogs. Now […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To: August 2023 Edition

| August 2, 2023

Reading: I’ve spent most of the last month reading a lot of flash fiction for critiques, but also a few novels for reviews. Watching: It’s mostly been Queendom Puzzle, but we also finally watched Quantumania and have started on season 3 of The Witcher. Listening To: Mostly Queendom Puzzle, though there have been a few new songs […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, July 2023 Edition

| July 12, 2023

Reading: Back to reading things mostly for book reviews, still trying to whittle down the stack of comics on the shelf. Recent reads there were Thessaly: Witch for Hire (from 2004) and Sandman Presents: The Dreaming series (2018-2022), which led me to finding Hoopla through our local library, and now I can read graphic novels on my […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, June 2023

| June 21, 2023

Reading: Books for review, mostly, and books for the essays for Unfixed Timelines 3. But I’ve also just gotten The Anti-Planner, which is mostly not for reading, but I occasionally read through a few of the exercises to see what might be useful to me at that time or in the future. And I’m trying […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, May 2023 Edition

| May 10, 2023

Reading: Books for review. Waiting to sink my teeth into a couple of craft books, but they haven’t been the priority recently. Watching: Sanditon season 3, because I love the drama. We also had time last month to go see Dungeons and Dragons, and we loved it, of course. Listening To: Not much new on this […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, April 2023 Edition

| April 5, 2023

Reading: Primarily books for reviews (they never stop!), but I’ve also got a couple of other things I’m picking up now and then, in between other books. Just got some exciting new graphic novels in the mail, too, thanks to a friend, so those are on the list as well! Watching: We haven’t really watched […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, January 2023 Edition

| January 4, 2023

Reading: Continuing with books to review and craft books, depending on if I’m reading in the living room with a cat on my lap (physical books) or as I wind down before bed (ebooks). I’ve become one of those people who reads more than one book at the same time! Watching: Recent watches included the […]
