Reading in 2021 was, for me, both a pleasure and a challenge. I read far fewer books this year than usual. At the time of this writing, I have just barely completed my Goodreads goal of 52 books. The year before the pandemic, I read 84 books. In 2020, I read 67. No clue whyContinue reading “The Top 10 Books I Read in 2021”

The Top 13 Books I Read in 2020
I couldn’t bring myself to do my usual ‘Top 20 Things I Learned in 2020’ post because even though 2020 was pretty much non-stop No Exit-style epiphanies, fuck this year. Seriously, I’m so mad, I can’t even be in the same room as 2020. But, books? Why should my annual book list pay the toll?Continue reading “The Top 13 Books I Read in 2020”
The Top 10 Books I Read in 2018
2018 was a busy year for me. I published The Haunter, wrote its sequel, Ghostapalooza, traveled a lot, tried a bunch of new stuff, and even went to Disneyland. I also read 61 books, down two from 2017 and nine from 2016. But, what my reading year lacked in quantity it made up for inContinue reading “The Top 10 Books I Read in 2018”
Current Obsessions Because Yay
A friend once described me as “apathetic.” I took this as a huge compliment because I’ve never had any chill at all. I’m a straight up spaz from way back. But you can’t be an apathetic spaz, right? If this guy thought I was apathetic, surely I was cool as hell and chill as fuck,Continue reading “Current Obsessions Because Yay”
The Top 15 Books I Read in 2015
One cool thing that happens as you get older is that you embrace your quirks, your manic tendencies. For example, I have to unpack everything the second I get home from a trip or I imagine I’ll, I dunno, explode or choke to death on mini-toiletries. I’m okay with this. I think it’s just swellContinue reading “The Top 15 Books I Read in 2015”
Summertime Rolls
I love summer. I do. Sorry, y’all. I love it despite the heat. I love it even though I can’t wear flannel and boots and knit hats. Well, actually, I wear boots anyway because I can’t stop. I’m wearing them now with a sundress. Damn, just who do I think I am? Clearly I thinkContinue reading “Summertime Rolls”
Books, Ginger Ale & SO Much Star Wars
I was sick this weekend. Some sort of mild stomach bug that was really more of an annoyance than anything. Because I didn’t want to give it to anyone and I wanted to kick it fast, I stayed in all weekend, lounging on the couch like Jabba the Hut. Oh man, I just pictured Jabba theContinue reading “Books, Ginger Ale & SO Much Star Wars”
The 10 Best Books I Read In 2014
Hello and welcome to my very favorite post of the year. I’m one of those weirdos who sets reading goals and keeps track of what I read every year.

Top 10 Books I Read in 2013
Every year I set little reading goals for myself. Last year, I wanted to read at least 5 classics and 2 Hemingway novels, which I did. Yay! I loved one of the Hemingways and hated the other. (Okay, it was For Whom The Bell Tolls. I love all his other books but I had to makeContinue reading “Top 10 Books I Read in 2013”
The 10 Best Books I Read In 2012
Last January on Tumblr, I listed all of the books I read in 2011. Not sure why I did that but I think it was because of my book book, the book I use to write down all of the books I read. (What good is keeping track if I don’t let everyone know about it?!)Continue reading “The 10 Best Books I Read In 2012”
