Libroqueue 2023.01…

I just typed “2023” in the title of a post. Weren’t we supposed to have jet packs and flying cars by now? Oh vey.

Here’s what I planned to read in December:

  • Ben Aaronovitch's Midnight Riot
  • Dr. Lee Mellor’s Behind the Horror: True Stories that Inspired Horror Movies
  • Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters
  • Jay Anson’s The Amityville Horror
  • Brian Michael Bendis’ Fire: A Spy Graphic Novel

Here’s what I actually read…

  • Dr. Lee Mellor’s Behind the Horror: True Stories that Inspired Horror Movies
  • Jay Anson’s The Amityville Horror
  • Brian Michael Bendis’ Fire: A Spy Graphic Novel
  • Danielle Valentine’s How to Survive Your Murder
  • Chris Sims’ Infinity Wars: Sleepwalker

I read 3 of the 5 I planned. I’m about halfway thru Midnight  but haven’t started Gathering because our book club delayed things due to the holidays. But I added Murder and Sleepwalker bringing me to 70 of 48 on my annual goal. Stretch goal achieved!

For January, I will read/finish:

Ben Aaronovitch's Midnight Riot

I guess if I’m gonna hit a 60-book goal in 2023, I have to read at least five books each month. No room for slacking, eh?

Happy New Year, y’all!

My final year-in-review list! Kevin’s 7: Audio ‘22. And it almost didn’t happen because I accidentally deleted the list I had been working on all year without backing it up. Took some scrambling to remember everything, but here it goes!...

That would be “Happy New Year” in Swedish because what better way to spend New Year’s Day than IKEA-fying Nathan’s bedroom a bit. On deck is our room which we will be purging to a degree unlike any you’ve ever...

Read Coban's The Woods. It's a continuation of The Boy From the Woods. How was Mellor's book?

Mellor was very well researched. Great book especially if you don’t know the story behind a lot of these.
