I think I've reflected on this before, but it is genuinely wild to be so far through this year and this challenge and still have SO MANY UNREAD BOOKS.

As I'm writing this I have SIX BOOKS out from the library, in addition to all the unread books on my shelves.

Sincerest apologies to anyone I actually know whose books I have yet to get to.

Hmm.

September, huh?

Hmmmmmmmm.

Don't like that.

Don't like that one bit.

Last week of August, hmm?

*vibrates uncomfortably*

What a fuckin' month it has been, my dudes.

*continues to vibrate off into the distance*

This sure was a weird couple of books to read in one week, huh?

On one level, they're not that dissimilar - they're both horror-ish, at least, which is something? I'm genuinely unsure of what else would have paired better. At least they are alike in being extremely unique reading experiences, and I can't imagine pairing either, but particularly Jones' book, with something fluffier.

This is what happens when your reading schedule is determined largely by the library holds.
