May Bibliolust

My “nonresolution” of trying to read what I want when I feel like it seems to be having benefits. My progress on Bibliolust for both this year and past years has improved greatly. In fact, there’s only two books from this month’s list so far I haven’t read or abandoned — and for those two [...]

April Bibliolust

I knew when I wrote last month’s Bibliolust that I was tempting fate. My thought that “I may be setting myself up for a bit of failure this month” became a self-fulfilling prophecy. The two books I thought might make the “Did Not Finish” list did, in fact, make the list. This early in the [...]

March Bibliolust

I may be setting myself up for a bit of failure this month. A couple of the books are a bit more serious than perhaps I would normally read. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained. And so what if I have a couple “did not finish” books this year. (Although I had one earlier in the [...]

February Bibliolust

Very little progress made on the lust list this year — but it’s not my fault. First, two of the books from last month won’t be released until next week. Another I just got from the library after the person who had it kept it two weeks past the due date. This means there were [...]

January Bibliolust

It’s the time of year where we look both forward and back. In looking back, I am surprised at how closely the percentage of Bibliolust books read last year is to the all time percentage. I doubt there’s any significance but I do find it interesting. Looking forward means half the books this month actually [...]

December Bibliolust

You’d think with Christmas coming this list would be packed. Thing is, books aren’t Christmas presents for me. They are a daily necessity of life. Thus, books rarely, if ever, make it on my Christmas wish list. As you’ll see, the books this month aren’t really Christmassy either. Hopefully, it’s not indicative of less daily [...]

November Bibliolust

This month’s list is quite short, largely because my lust diminishes when I have books stacked up to review and plenty of other books that I really, really want to read. I guess that is one of the things about being an adult — common sense can put a damper on lust and distinguish between [...]

October Bibliolust

This month’s lust list reflects that we’re into the fall/winter release cycle. In fact, there are actually two other books that would have made the list except I got them through the library between last month’s list and this one. Granted, two of the books below don’t actually come out until next month but that [...]

September Biblioloust

I think this month’s list is a bit short because I’ve been spending so much time reading review copies. I’m not complaining but it makes it hard to think about what I want to read just for the heck of it. Still, I came across a few interesting items since the last installment.

August Bibliolust

This month’s list is short because much of the lust arose — and was partially satisfied — during the month of July. There were two or three other books that I stumbled across or heard of during the month that I’ve already read. In fact, everything popped up in the last 10 days or so [...]
