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 […]

Watching: Wednesday, of course, Enola Holmes 2, and catching up on miscellaneous other things. Listening To: ‘Tis the season for K-pop holiday songs, though the main one I love so far this year is “X-mas” by Xdinary Heroes, which does […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, November 2022 Edition

| November 9, 2022

Reading: Primarily books to review, though I also just got a huge stack of craft books from a Microcosm Publishing Kickstarter, so I’ve got those to wade through as well! Watching: Since my last post, we finished She Hulk, which we loved all the way through (yes, even the last episode, which was strange but […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, September 2022 Edition

| September 7, 2022

Reading: Time to sink into some additional research for the novella I wrote in July, so I can plan out some revisions to it. Some of the research is to make sure I get the historical parts accurate, and some of it is so I can make it super spooky! Watching: We tore through The Sandman, […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, August 2022 Edition

| August 10, 2022

Reading: Books to review, including one that I’ll be writing a blurb for! Watching: The show I’ve been waiting for since 1995, Sandman, is finally out! Squee! Still finishing up Umbrella Academy, The Owl House, and other assorted shows. Listening To: The usual assortment of K-pop. Really digging CraXilver and Xdinary Heroes, plus Stray Kids just dropped […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, Early July 2022

| July 6, 2022

Reading: I’ve finished reading a bunch of histories for research for my July project, so I’m back to reading books to review, The Ode Less Travelled, and miscellaneous marketing books. Watching: Ms. Marvel is AMAZING, we’re loving the third season of Umbrella Academy, and we’re catching up on the remainder of the season of Owl House and Stranger Things. There’s […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, June 2022 Edition

| June 8, 2022

Listening to: New albums from Oneus and Psy, plus a new group on Psy’s label, TNX, who […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, Mid-April 2022 Edition

| April 13, 2022

Reading: Continuing to work my way through books for review and Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled. Watching: Moon Knight is now running weekly episodes, so we’re watching that, even though I know basically nothing about the character. I would watch Oscar Isaac read the phone book, especially if he’s playing around with accents while he does. […]

What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, March 2022 Edition

| March 2, 2022

Reading: Books to review, and The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry. Watching: We’re getting back into some of the shows we’d put aside when other shows dropped in full. So it’s some Hanna, some Nancy Drew, and whatever else we’re feeling like. Listening To: It’s mostly Stray Kids right now, to be honest. Though there are some […]

Reading: I’ve got a few new books I’m reading for reviews these days–one anthology and one novel. Reviews for those will be popping up next month! Watching: We cruised through The Witcher season 2, though we wish we hadn’t finished it quite so quickly, knowing how much of a wait there will be before we get […]
