  6. August was a slog for reading, not because of the book, but because of everything going on with our move.

    Ironically, I've been reading Bill Bryson's At Home, which has simultaneously made me grateful for the relatively modern luxuries we enjoy and take for granted, while also wondering how humanity survived industrialization at all! 😅

  11. And that means I got to start #SpookyReads2026 book 3 last night.

    I started listening to 'King Sorrow' by Joe Hill.

    I'm enjoying the start of this so far, especially starting at a prestigious small Maine liberal arts college, for obvious reasons. I'm wondering if the name of a particular historic figure in the fiction is a sly homage to Shirley Jackson, which wouldn't surprise me.

  16. I also finished 'Pandora's Star' by Peter F. Hamilton yesterday morning.

    Decent reread, not sure if I will continue the series on audio. I really disliked the narrator and his style, so that alone would put me off continuing. This is a good series if you're looking for epic-sized space opera that presents a society in close proximity to ours.

  21. This week for reading I'm digging into #SpookyReads2026.

    Book 2 is 'My Darling Dreadful Thing' by Johanna van Veen.

    I'm really enjoying this wonderful gothic. It is more atmospheric and creepy than scary, which is how I like my horror. The plot reminds me a lot of the film 'Crimson Peak' (which I need to rewatch), but more sapphic-leaning. I think the last time I enjoyed a Spooky Reads book this much was last year's 'Black River Orchard' by Chuck Wendig.
