What I’m Reading, Watching, and Listening To, Early October 2024

| October 2, 2024

Reading: Books to review, along with my current craft book, Millions of Suns by M.C. Benner Dixon and Sharon Fagan McDermott. Each of the two authors has an essay before the exercise for each chapter, and they’re all wonderful essays combined with stories from their lives, thus far! Watching: While we were sick, we finished season […]

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

| September 4, 2024

I’ve been on vacation, so my normal reading, watching, and listening to habits are a little off right now! Reading: Still books for review, and I’m going to be starting in on another writing craft book next week that has more reading portions, though not as many sections as The Wayward Writer. (I’ll be doing a […]

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

| August 14, 2024

Reading: Books to review. On the craft side of things, I’m finishing up The Wayward Writer by Ariel Gore, and once that’s done, I’ve got a couple of other similar books to work my way through. I might take a short break, though, as I’ve been working through The Wayward Writer for more than a year […]

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

| July 10, 2024

Reading: Mostly books to review. Watching: There hasn’t been a whole lot of watching lately, with family visits and a lot of other stuff on our calendar, but we watched the entirety of Hazbin Hotel on the Fourth of July, and I’m a fan! Super irreverent musical cartoon? Yeah, I’m in! Listening To: As an additional […]

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

| June 12, 2024

Reading: Mostly books to review! Watching: The first half of Bridgerton season 3 has been our main TV show, parceled out slowly so as to have enough to get to the second half of the season (which drops tomorrow!). I’ve also been watching some of the panels I couldn’t make this past weekend from WriteHive and […]

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

| May 8, 2024

Reading: I’ve actually been really bad about this lately. Work has been hectic, with lots of editing, so the last thing I want to do in the evenings is read. I need to get back on track with that, though, because those books won’t review themselves! Watching: It’s been a whole lot of K-pop lately, […]

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

| April 10, 2024

Reading: Books for review and occasional game books, as I realize I need to learn more about some of the games we’re playing now or in the future! Watching: Not a whole heck of a lot, because most of our TV time has been spent on watching K-pop things. We did watch Spin Me Round for […]

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 […]
