it’s june so that means i am going to see a large influx of books because for my birthday i do a big annual shopping spree. i already had last month’s library sale, so you can see my total percentage read has gone down. when it comes to the used book sale, i tend to get a lot of books i haven’t read yet, but when buying NEW books at a higher price point, it’s focused only on what i HAVE read.

i’m STILL forgetting to write that damn isekai flavor page. i have been reading a lot but less isekai than usual. i’m considering just flat out—

wait a minute. why is my graph showing that i have read LESS books? it makes sense that unread count grew, but why did the Yes get smaller????

there we go, the range needed to get fixed.

anyway i have been thinking about shotgunning a bunch of isekai lately, including rereading some old ones.

re: drafts. i’m down to about 8 drafts, but i’ve been reading faster than i can write. unfortunately writing on my phone is REALLY unfriendly, and so it slowly ticks backwards.

re: the graph. i have been focusing on my digital collection instead of the physical collection unfortunately. i AM planning on giving my library a BIG facelift, though, because the um. the shelves are running out of room. i DO want to switch focus but i can’t bring the physical books with me to work or read them in the dark, so my digital collection has been getting more attention.

re: the sidebar tracker. i wonder if there is a better way to keep track because i’m sooo bad at keeping up with that. i also thought i would be reading more truck-kun themed items, but check out the menagerie tags!

re: movies accidentally being removed from the front page. movies have been returned to the front page. some other minor things have also been fixed looks-wise.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
