Best of 2025 (Thus Far)
My top 10 of the year (in no particular order). For now… Don’t worry, I won’t be taking any off. But with three weeks left in the year, I may end up making some additions before the calendar rolls over.

My cat is now obsessed with Oscar Issac, which is only tangentially related to books, but I thought you should know. Also, I read some stuff…
I Was Absent Last Week But I Have a Note
Big dragons, big memoirs, and a manga rundown, this week in reviews.
Our power went out at 0130…
Serial killers, big questions about gender, cheating death, and why you can’t look away from that beheading. All in this week’s reviews.
Cults, Carnage, and Creatvity
Cults, carnage, and creativity, today on the blog. Shiri gets back into it after a few days in NYC with The Penguin Book of Cults, Shusterman’s MindWorks: An Uncanny Compendium, and Christina Henry’s The Place Where They Buried Your Heart.
I Would Love to Call this The Summer of Horror…
Two horrors and a sweet romance, this week in reviews…
Mid-May Foray
This May foray has lots to eat and some really random, enjoyable reads. Plus some special help for my “Sure, Why Not?” plant parent habit.

Medusa is gloriously in fashion. Harley romances and gets romanced. And no one knows what Dazai is doing (as usual) but (as usual) Akutagawa is pissed about it.
