44 new books read this year and many I liked! #25booksin2025 gave me a lot of encouragement to try out some new stuff instead of as much rereading of old favorites as usual. Going to the new arrivals and grabbing what catches my fancy is quite fun! Hope everyone had a great reading year!

The wheel turns; the summer ends.
The light departs, the cold descends,
And we are left to hold the light
Against the cold and longest night.
The wind that howls around the door,
The tracks of snow upon the floor.
Reach for your loves and hold them tight
Against the cold and longest night.

Grabbed The Magician of Tiger Castle by Louis Sachar from the library new arrivals. it's mainly about the vibes of a quasi historical medieval fantasy and character study of the court magician trying to help the princess. Light, easy read. Not quite cozy though. #25booksin2025

Read I'm afraid you've got dragons by Peter Beagle. The tale of a princess, a prince, and a dragon exterminator who loves dragons. Great characters, some excellent dialogue, but the climax is a bit muddled and disconnected. Still, a fun, quick read. #25booksin2025

Got my 2025 music recap! 🎵
Stealing Sheep and the new album G.L.O. dominated the year. Found You is so good. Wish I could visit the UK to see them tour.
Gunship hanging on from last year.
BOOM claimed the title though. kickass indie rock that fills me with youthful rebellious energy 💥

Bit late but read Halloween Folklore and Ghost Stories by Brice Stratford, looking at the continuity and origins of English traditions around the last week of Oct and first week of Nov. Fascinating bits of culture and hauntings, though also some gory crime so cw. #25booksin2025

My vinyl for the new Stealing Sheep album finally arrived! Listened to it digitally over a dozen times now. So good! 🥰🎵

Read The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. This was a properly macabre tale of witches and things lurking just outside the light, told through three interconnected women's stories across a century. It's haunting me a bit even after finishing. #25booksin2025

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Read Anima Rising by Christopher Moore. Klimt, Freud and Jung meet the Bride of Frankenstein in 1910ish Vienna. Lots of farce and absurdity. But also a lot of brutal violence alluded to, sexual and otherwise. It's a good read but definitely a warning necessary. #25booksin2025

Another graphic novel roundup. Read ch1 of Grant Morrison's Invisibles, which felt like Hellblazer but without the strong central character. And Justice by Alex Ross, a Justice League story with gorgeous oil paint art and cool scenes but a messy plot that doesn't pay off its ideas #25boooksin2025

We're 18 days (!) away from the start of our 19th run. Why not spend the next week with us welcoming the volunteers working in front and behind the cameras to keep our show running? Each shift runs 6 hours, features beloved segments, and might just have a few additional surprises or cross-overs.

After reading Timequake I wound up reading Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut to follow up. Think I last read it in high school. Both jump around but the earlier work is more of a story, and is more straightforward in its thesis. #25booksin2025

Read The Faceless Thing We Adore by Hester Steel, a fiction about a mystery cult and indoctrination and how the world shapes the protagonist and she shapes it in turn. It's evocative and visceral and at times viciously cruel. A compelling but unhappy read. #25booksin2025

Are is a sacred conversation between people across time and place. When I read Octavia Butler or Emily Dickinson they’re here with me, speaking right into my heart. When I look at Frieda Kahlo’s paintings I can see through her eyes. Ai slop just can’t compete with that.

My local pfs group picked Dreams of a Dustbound Isle for our Halloween party. Now I'm doubly responsible for giving them a spooky time 😅🕯️ Have to figure out what costume to wear... ✨

Continuing my browse through the local library and read Kurt Vonnegut's Timequake. Difficult to sum up since it meanders across a multitude of topics but there's an honest humanity to it I was very caught up in. #25booksin2025

Another graphic novel roundup with urban fantasy in Manila with Budjette Tan's Trese and very silly action in Mark Roger's The Adventures of Samurai Cat. The artwork in Samurai Cat had no business being so good. Oh and Ryan North's Star Trek Lower Decks - Warp Your Own Way was so fun! #25booksin2025
