valzhangLast day of the year! I only just got back into reading but I'm excited to go into 2026 knowing I have so many books I want to read. Anyway let's look back on December reading and get ready for the next month! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
! = Priority
CR:
Horror collection - Edgar Allan Poe
TBR:
These Violent Delights — Micah Nemerever (!)
Open Throat — Henry Hoke
The Eyes are the Best Part — Monika Kim
Notes from Underground — Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hamlet — Shakespeare
Less Than Zero — Bret Easton Ellis
AR:
Anna Karenina — Leo Tolstoy
Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom — Sylvia Plath
Bored Gay Werewolf — Tony Santorella
the Metamorphosis and other stories — Franz Kafka
the Shards — Bret Easton Ellis
Letters to Milena — Franz Kafka
Rashomon and seventeen other stories — Ryunosuke Akutagawa
Maybe it's because I've just gotten back into it but I definitely completed quite a lot of reading this month, hopefully I can keep up that persistence or at least some of it. The Shards was definitely my favourite read, Bored Gay Werewolf my least favourite, which is funny because those are the two contemporary ones. I didn't dislike any of them at all though, so, that's a successful run. Good job me you know my tastes so well.
I foresee a very long TBR list in my future, so I'm trying to be as selective as possible. Especially since the library closed and I didn't end up really reading any of the stuff from my TBR. I will definitely stray from my own list at times just depending on what draws my interest LOL
Excited for January! And for the damn library to open again! Will post my thoughts on Akutagawa's collection soon.
