May booklist 2015
May. 31st, 2015 11:01 amThis was a month for large, heavy, difficult to carry around books, which always affects how much I read. I also had about 4 of them on the go at once, which always complicates matters.

May. 1st, 2015 06:51 pmThe month has flown by. The weather's clearing a little (though still cold and grey), so I'm spending more time outdoors.

March booklist 2015
Mar. 31st, 2015 07:45 pmGods, how is it the end of March? Time is both at a standstill and racing forwards. I blame the lousy Smarch weather... which is a thousand times lousier in Halifax, FYI. Only bonus is the amount of time I can spend reading. The libraries here are actually very good and the local thrift store has 4 aisles of books, all of them cheap.

January & February booklist
Feb. 28th, 2015 06:28 pmSo, things got hectic at the end of January. Relocation 15 hours away from my home, new job, new city, sickness, confusion, and horrible weather. So my January recap never got posted. Instead, you get two months for the price of one.

Year in recap, books in recap.
Jan. 1st, 2015 12:46 pmMy life has sped up quite a bit in the last few weeks, what with starting working and the long-distance traveling. My reading has reflected that a bit: I went on a splurge of rereading books recently, just because I could..

November booklist 2014
Nov. 30th, 2014 11:04 amNovember was a bit of a whirlwind. Conference in Pittsburgh, moving back to Joliette, and starting my new contract have all cut into my time off considerably. Throw in traveling back and forth between Ottawa and Joliette on weekends (6 hours round-trip) and you get an idea of how much free time I have.
Still, books.

October booklist
Oct. 31st, 2014 03:42 pmOctober has been up and down. Still lots of free time but I didn't get much done due to bad health and stress. Because my body obviously thinks any time off is the perfect time to freak out...

July booklist, etc.
Jul. 31st, 2014 01:44 pmJuly was awful. Stress, a horrible job, demanding teachers and students and staff, extra-long days, and no time to get over it. I think this is the first time in my life I've been so stressed about something that I routinely began to wake up in the middle of the night to try to work out problems, and was unable to get back to sleep.
It's gotten better but I'd like to make sure that I won't be going back to that.

June books and such
Jul. 1st, 2014 12:24 pmJune was lovely - I read quite a bit on vacation (spending nearly 24 hours on a plane will do that to you) and saw several plane movies as well. Also, my exhaustion levels when I got home made reading just about the only thing I was willing to tackle...

March booklist
Apr. 1st, 2014 05:54 pmMarch was a busy month for books 'n things. A bit of a depressing month too, which explains why I read so much, I guess.

February booklist
Mar. 2nd, 2014 10:37 amAs usual, February and I did not get along. This explains the amount of rereading fluffy books I did.

It's been a slow month, I'll admit, but I haven't been doing much reading. Mea culpa.
