Monday Miscellanea, 10/18/22

Yes, Monday Miscellanea on a Tuesday. It happens sometimes. I needed to format and post the schedule for our ultimate frisbee league yesterday and I wanted a good day of fiction writing. With only so many hours and so much Katherine energy, my Monday post rightly took a back seat. Reading I’m still reading Teller […]

Reading Peril, 10/12/22

Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw I feel like Nothing But Blackened Teeth has been on my TBR list for years, but it was only published this year. More likely, after reading Khaw’s Persons Non Grata novellas, I’ve been meaning to read more of her works. I liked Nothing But Blackened Teeth well enough. […]

Reading Finished reading Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw AND Famous Modern Ghost Stories, ed. by Dorothy Scarborough. I’ll probably post about them later. This week, in addition to continuing Teller of Tales and whatever portion of Dracula that ends up in my email inbox, I’m going to dip into Book Riot’s horror story […]

Happy Freakin’ October! Reading I didn’t finish reading anything last week, but I did add a hold I’d delayed from the library: Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw. Also, Melissa Edmundson is doing #31Days31WomenWriters on Twitter and I’m going to read a story or two from her recommendations when I can. Deal Me In […]

Monday Miscellanea, 9/26/22

How is it the last week of September already? I’m not really complaining. I’m happy for the shorter days and the gradually cooling temperatures. Reading As I suspected, The Italian Secretary didn’t last much longer than last Monday’s post. I wasn’t enjoying it, so I moved on to Teller of Tales: The Life of Arthur […]

Monday Miscellanea, 9/19/22

Last week was trash, motivation-wise. At least the weather has been nicer. I like being able to shut off the air conditioning at night. Reading Finished The Monsters We Defy and moved on to Dark Carnivals: Modern Horror and the Origins of American Empire by W. Scott Poole. I was interested enough in Dark Carnivals […]
