April's @Storygraph stats are in! I read 17 books and 6,884 pages with an average rating of 4.24, while Debbie powered through 15 books and 3,993 pages with an average rating of 4.0. 📚 Between us, that's 32 books and 10,877 pages devoured in one month. Not too shabby for a pair of archaeolibrarians! 😄

Come see what we have been reading over at the blog - https://archaeolibrarian.wixsite.com/website

What if you could visualise your entire reading history laid out? That's what I've attempted to do.

What kind of genres did I read as a kid? What were the moods of the book? Do I prefer slower or faster paced books? Watch me go into the rabbit hole!

Author name "L" - March 30, 2026 - I really enjoy magic based fantasy novels and this one hit all the right notes for me. Humans and monsters living together, magic hiding in plain sight, an impossible heist, and a bit of spiciness. Chef's kiss.

Bueno este mes ha sido también temático pero de música: vimos #ACompleteUnknown, #SpringsteenDeliverMeFromNowhere, #Hamilton, #KpopDemonHunters y #TheSingers.
Para compensar #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce y #TragonesYMazmorras.

De los 8 libros destaco #LaRebelióndeCameroth (@ Victoria Álvarez dónde está el 3er libro) y #NoConfíesenAsherHall, el resto fue ponerme al día con sagas juveniles y un par de poemarios meh. He llegado a 400 libros leídos en #StoryGraph ✌🏻

February book club theme - 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 - February 8, 2026 - This book tells the stories of a boy and a girl who randomly meet at a river and become friends. The writing is a bit flat in the beginning, but I was fully invested by the end and hoping they would find their way back to each other.

I thought I would love When the tides held the moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. I didn’t. It was okay, but kind of contrived and the naive or selfish main character grated on me. Also, in a book that seemed to go out of its way to acknowledge immigrant experiences in early twentieth century NYC, the lack of even a brief acknowledgment that Jewish girls were the primary victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was striking. If I overlooked such a mention, I would be delighted - please correct me.

The cover art is gorgeous. I will always fall for gorgeous cover art.

I did not finish Wuthering Heights before the end of 2025, so it is my first book of 2026.

A strangely happy ending for such a tragic tale.

Read a book from the TBR of someone you follow - December 26, 2025 - This book brings back the fool, one of my favorite Christopher Moore characters. I don't know how he manages to balance the ridiculous with the intellectual, but he does, and it's brilliant.

My reading goals for 2026 are:

- keep seeking out Jewish books
- be even better about finishing my book reflections (I have so many notes for unwritten reflections from this year!)
- reread Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, the Priory of the Orange Blossom, and the Amelia Peabody Egyptological series
-maintain at least the same proportion or more of non-fiction (25%)
-read the list of graphic novels I compiled from all the great suggestions from people here
- Read more poetry! This year I read one small volume and also a non-fiction book focused on poetry. I’d like to read several volumes, especially ones I bought from Ben Yehuda Press.
- read at least 20 audiobooks in Swedish, as I have done for the past few years

A book you got for free - December 8, 2025 - I won the digital version of this book through a StoryGraph giveaway. I didn't realize it was the second book of the series, so I felt like I was missing some of the character development. It's a typical whodunit story. It has potential, but feels like a surface story, there's not enough depth to it to be believable or thrilling.

Slowly tagging my SG library.

I've started making a list of tags I'd like to use, grouping them by similarity (Type of read like pleasure, ARCs, then MCs' identities, the simple Is This Monsters or not, the very important How Monstrous scale, kink scale - and more!).

Tagging 100+ books based on the content is a huge undertaking, though, so I'm starting with my log of DNFs... Even though there are 30+

Storygraph's custom graphs are giving me motivation.

:ABlobCatSparkle: New review up, coincidentally my 100th book logged on Storygraph, and my sixth 5 Star rating!!

Under Her Bed by L. Ford
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5) | 🌶️🌶️ (2)

Folks, a supernatural cryptid in couture shows up, wyd?

"Perfect for fans of twisted monster romances, morally gray antiheroes, and the dangerous line between love and obsession."

Currently reading: Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann. With Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday, it like now would be a good time to read this . #currentlyreading #bookstodon #StoryGraph #KillersoftheFlowerMoon #DavidGrann #IndigineousPeoplesDay

I tend to lack follow-through at times, so I'm proud of myself for actually completing these 3 reading challenges for the year. They definitely got me out of my comfort zone. Mission accomplished there.

Managed to check off two prompts each with three titles. And I spent no money. Hooray for libraries!

The onboarding challenge was quite useful since it got me to explore The StoryGraph a bit more. I'm now much more familiar with its features. (So happy I left Goodreads.)

With one exception, I liked the books I read for the genre challenge. Would consider doing that one again in future years.

The reads the world challenge, not so much. It felt like a slog to get through those books. My library options were quite limited, so I had to settle for titles that did not appeal to me at all.

Now I can just read Discworld, Murderbot, Stephen King, and fae smut to my little heart's content!

I read Woodsmoke by Wayne Caldwell. 3.5⭐

A collection of poems about a widower living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina who spends a lot of his time in nature, preparing firewood for the winter.

📚 #StoryGraph Genre #Challenge
✅ Prompt 7: A poetry collection centered around nature

I found this surprisingly enjoyable given my lack of interest in poetry. The main character was a bit curmudgeonly but still likable. And I do love the NC mountains. And woodsmoke.

Currently reading: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Although I’ve seen the movie more recently, I haven’t read the book since high school so I am looking forward to revisiting it from a 2025 perspective. #bookstodon #StoryGraph #ToKillAMockingbird #HarperLee #currentlyreading #ReadBannedBooks

I read Halina Filipina: A New Yorker in Manila by Arnold Arre. 3.0⭐

A rom-com #comic.

📚 #StoryGraph Reads the World #Challenge
✅ Prompt 10: The Philippines

I liked Halina, but Cris was a dick. Lots of untranslated Tagalog, which was kind of confusing.

Currently reading: V For Vendetta by Alan Moore. One of many books I’ve put off reading for a while, and want to read while I still can. #bookstodon #StoryGraph #VforVendetta #AlanMoore #DavidLloyd #currentlyreading #ReadBannedBooks

I read The Animals in That Country by Laura Jean McKay. 3.75⭐

#Dystopian #scifi about a zooflu pandemic that gives humans the ability to understand animals.

📚 #StoryGraph Reads the World #Challenge
✅ Prompt 1: Australia

Dark, intense, and quite unsettling. Took me a while to get used to the animal communication, which was probably intentional. It made me cry.
