November/December was a little bit of a wash reading-wise. I trudged my way through two more books for my book reviewer side hustle, and continued to enjoy Moby-Dick but there's so much of it! Then I downloaded Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body and Other Parties and devoured it and felt alternately amazing and awful, like drinking… Continue reading Books I Read and Loved in 2017

Reading Roundup: September/October
Read A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I actually finished rereading the day after I posted my midway review in the last roundup. I found that I didn't want to put it down.

Summer of Gaming, part 1
This will not come as a surprise to anyone who follows my monthly reading roundups: I consume novels in what could be described as a voracious manner. I do re-read a favorite book from time to time, but mostly I pick up and devour new-to-me books--on the ARC table, in a used bookstore, on sale… Continue reading Summer of Gaming, part 1
Reading Roundup: May/June
Recommended The Windfall by Diksha Basu. A slow-burn family drama set in New Delhi. I really enjoyed it. A good reminder to read more contemporary fiction set in global cities outside of the U.S. and London--as one character reflects, all Americans see of India are scenes of extreme wealth or extreme poverty, and we don't… Continue reading Reading Roundup: May/June
