A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal

Horror Movies A to Z Ever since last April, I’ve been looking forward to celebrating Halfway to Halloween. I had randomly decided to do an unofficial horror movie A to Z challenge last year and late in the month realized that April is actually halfway to October. This year, I’m officially joining the Blogging from […]

Reading Notes, 3/8/21

Finished Reading After a pretty blah end of February, I wham-bam finished two books last week. But I don’t really have much to say about them. First, finished Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. It definitely feels like the middle book of a trilogy, which it was when it came out in 1969. It ends on […]

Miscellanea, 3/4/21

Anniversaries Two anniversaries to be acknowledged: February 27, 2020 was the last time I visited the library in person. March 10, 2020 was the last game of ultimate frisbee I played.

Mostly, I’ve been playing Minecraft and alternately listening to William Hope Hodgson novels or Nebraska basketball games. But I have a couple of reading things I […]

Reading Notes, 2/22/21

Finished Reading The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson Back in October of last year, I got in the mood to read about some supernatural fiction set at sea. I planned on reading Hodgson’s The Ghost Pirates, but ended up instead reading the first of a trio of his novels that are kinda-sorta related. The […]

Reading Notes, 2/15/21

Finished Reading The Hole by Hiroko Oyamada (translated by David Boyd) When it comes to reading materials, I generally don’t care about “best of” or nomination lists, but I make an exception for horror fiction. I’m usually curious about what the industry considers good in the horror genre. I’d been seeing The Hole mentioned here […]
