  • Isekai Species Page
  • Update the sidebar (rolling)
  • Catch up on the backlog (rolling)

(っ´ω`)ノ(╥ω╥)

there is a lot happening!!!! i fell behind!!!!!! i read so many different things that i got overwhelmed. on the upside, right now i just keep the sidebar open so i can keep an active and accurate count on the books logged.

i also, you know, got a LOT of books, and i still have a few more that are waiting for me to enter them. i have been trying to get these new shelves up and running for almost a month now, so i’m a bit frustrated because they sent me the wrong ones and i can’t lift them on my own. seriously, these things are like. 8 to 9 feet?

i asked for 3 ft.

anyway i also have been putzing with medication, so things went a bit haywire. i will be updating much of the backlog to be displayed so expect a lot of subpar book reports while i do that.

in other news, attentive folks will notice that in the following image…

…the amount of books i have has jumped up quite a lot, while the percentage read has remained more or less the same. i have been feeling weird about reading without anywhere to put my books back, so i have been avoiding it, so this number will not budge for a hot minute.

re: drafts. i have so many. double digits. it will get done eventually.

re: the BONUS BAR on the sidebar. i will be continuously moving the goalposts for every 100 i reach (the current one needs to be updated to 300 comics).

re: the isekai species page. i don’t know what i was planning anymore so it’s not gonna be done until i get the spark again

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.
