Monthly Wrap Up: June 2018
June was a very busy for me with a lot of social obligations and events, and while I've tried my best to keep up with my reading I did fall behind a bit. Whoops!

This Week in Reading: Catching Up From Last Week!
Well, not much to report. I did manage to read a bunch of books in the last week but not many of them were SFF.

New Arrivals!
Recently I stopped in at one of the local new/used book stores that I love. It's been a while since I've been there because due to circumstances they had to move locations at the end of last year. The new location is closer but much smaller. Still, I managed to find some books anyway! Of … Continue reading New Arrivals!

Monthly Wrap Up: May 2018
May was certainly a whirlwind reading month for me. I finished off the month having read twenty-one books. Twenty-one!!! That may be a record for me. (Not counting the time I binge-read about 50 Harlequin romances back in college in a month's time...) It helped that I was on vacation for part of the month … Continue reading Monthly Wrap Up: May 2018
