October Reading Stats The Spear Cuts Through Water is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. Emma was a fun read like always, the Lathe of Heaven is gorgeous sci-fi, & Never Whistle at Night is perfectly scary. I also read some spooky short stories, & found I really enjoy Edgar Allen Poe

Feeling quite ill this evening, but I did finally finish a book that I had to keep setting aside for things due at the library sooner. Started another book almost immediately too lol. Now I’m eating a late dinner

My August Reading stats (oops a bit late) Some phenomenal reads for last month. Buffalo Hunter Hunter stood out the most to me. What a spooky & beautiful book. I also loved Solitaire, which felt like reading a book about my teenage self, & my re-read of Goose Girl was lovely as always

I find great joy in mapping out the books I will read in a month. This is an idealized list, but fun to plan nonetheless

Just finished reading Solitaire by Alice Oseman. I saw so much of my young self in this book. A big sister who’s just so depressed and lonely and lost. I love Tori so much 💜

July stats. Overall an amazing month of reading. Read a ton of Ursula K. Le Guin & it’s been so fascinating & I feel like I’m smarter with every book of hers I finish. Also finished reading all the published collections of Heartstopper & those boys bring me so much joy @thestorygraph.com #books

June reading stats! Some amazing reads this month. Forest Euphoria was so moving, Hijab Butch Blues was incredibly heartwarming, all about love almost broke me, the Final Strife blew me away with the world building, and Left Hand of Darkness was so thought provoking. I love books 💖📚 #books

May Reading Stats I adore Jane Austen’s Persuasion, and Ursula K Le Guin is a phenomenal writer and she’s quickly becoming one of my most read writers. Great month overall for books #thestorygraph #books #colorourworld #summerreading

When a book is so good you have to go buy a copy so you can highlight and bookmark it. I love Le Guin’s writing so much. If you read anything by her, read The Dispossessed #books

Oops I haven’t posted my April reading stats! I read a lot less this month than previous ones but that’s mainly due to some rather large audiobooks. Pride & Prejudice was as lovely as ever, LOTR was really fun, & SOtR was fine 🤷🏼‍♀️ #books #thestorygraph

I gotta say I’m really enjoying Fellowship of the Rings. Obviously it moves very slowly in comparison to modern popular fiction, but recently I’ve been reading a lot of classic literature so it honestly feels very natural and nostalgic (even though I was scared of LOTR for most of my childhood)

My DNFs: The Half King: tone & pacing all over the place. What could’ve been a cool palace intrigue ended up being rushed & boring & I didn’t care The Silence of the Girls: I did not care for the audiobook as the British accents took me out of the world & the pov added nothing to the og myth imo

March Reading Stats! I continue to love the Earthsea books, Howl’s Moving Castle was such a fun read, and I finally read Song of Achilles and it was beautiful. Honestly a delightful month of reading in spite of two DNFs which I might post later #thestorygraph #books

Finally came in from my library, I’ve been waiting for so long. I’m about to take so many notes #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackAuthors #hoodfeminism

A screenshot of an audiobook on the Libby app. The book is Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall. The book is playing at 1.5 speed, and has barely started the introduction. Also the phone it’s playing on needs to be charged

Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. Classic fairytale vibes mixed with a young woman’s complicated relationship with her family and position in life due to her magic making her ✨weird✨ Reading this at 13 was the first time in my life I truly felt seen and understood, and it was while reading a book
