The fact that I only finished two books in November doesn’t reflect the amount of time I spent reading. I actually started a lot more books, but many were tedious or long, and so I haven’t finished them. I’m hoping to wrap a few up in December so I can share them next month. But in the mean time, I really enjoyed the two books I did finish in November.
what I read in October
While this month’s books were a bit of a mixed bag (some I loved, some were more meh), I’m most excited about how much I managed to read this month. After feeling like I was in a reading slump for big chunks of this year, it was nice to get into a really serious groove.
What I read in August and September
The last two months marked some unusual activity in my reading habits. First, I was in a serious reading slump in August (I only finished one book all month) which carried over into the start of September. Thankfully, I’ve found my way out of it now. Second, I read a book from of the library!!!
What I read in June & July
If I could sum up my reads for June and July, it would be books that were decently interesting but not super earth-shattering. The two biggest exceptions to that were The Future is Analog by David Sax, which you can read my thoughts on here, and The Power of Fun by Catherine Price.
What I’m reading: The Future is Analog
I realize there is something ironic about reading The Future is Analog by David Sax on my iPad, especially considering I very rarely read anything other than physical books these days, but the only way I could get my hands on it before November was to request a digital review copy.
What I read in May
I finally found my reading groove this month, and that’s all thanks to some truly, truly incredible books. (Yes, I said truly twice, but DAMN, I read some good books this month!) What I read this month took me down two very distinct (but in some ways related) rabbit holes. Neither of these is a new research area for me, but they both really came out strongly this month.
What I’m reading: Worn: A People’s History of Clothing
You may or may not know this about me, but despite having two degrees in metalsmithing, I am actually a giant textile nerd.
In undergrad, I spent as much time in the fibers studio as I did in the metals studio. (It helped that they were right next door.) And while I did make jewelry for my undergrad thesis, many of the pieces incorporated hand sewing or beading techniques I had learned in my fibers classes.
What I read in March and April
Apparently, there’s something about March where I really struggle to find my reading groove. And since I only finished two books in March, I decided to just hold off and blog those with my April reads. The start of April was a bit of a slog as well, but I finally found my stride and ended up tearing through three books at the end of the month.
what I read in January and February
My January reads kind of bled into February (that’s what happens when you take a trip that starts in one month and ends in the next) so I decided to just drop them all here together!
What I read in December
I found more of a reading groove in December, helped of course by the reading retreat I went on with Amber and some really good books!
