Any other HRCYED heroes on #BookSky? I wrapped my Readathon this week. I did Winterween (and added a spooky graphic novel) inspired by This Is Summerween over on IG #HRCYED

It’s January 2nd and I haven’t updated my #HRCYED or even general reading stuff in months let alone my 2025 wrap up.
Will do tomorrow after work if I remember. Spoiler alert I read a total of 71 books last year (I don’t find number of things consumed to be a telling metric so it’s free of charge)

God, I’ve been in such a reading slump lately / otherwise very busy. I’ve only read like five or six books in the last two months. Probably won’t update for #HRCYED till the end of December o7
I’ve got some solid titles lined up though so hopefully that’ll help

An image showing all books read during the month of September by me created on Storygraph.
My September reading wrap-up!
I mainly read books for #HRCYED during this month.
16 books 5204 pages and an average rating of 4.05 isn't bad if I say so myself.

I'm reading Cass Khaw's THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE for my "published in July" #hrcyed read. It's strange to want to call something so Wet™ so refreshing, but maybe it's just the satisfaction of reading a novel that feels as rage-filled as you are inside.

#HRCYED has me using my day off this week for a ramshackle 24h readathon. Among the titles I expect to finish:
- Joan Didion’s Slouching Towards Bethlehem
- Kevin J Anderson’s Nether Station
- Martha Wells’ All Systems Red
- v.4 and maybe 5 Shuzo Oshimi’s Welcome Back, Alice

Just happened across #HRCYED and I think I’m gonna attempt it*
*With the major tweak of giving myself 2 years (‘25-‘26) because reading 150 books in a year is a recipe for me not doing any critical thinking about what I consume.
75 books per year will be challenge enough for me thanks.

I’m reading The Poppy War Trilogy by @rfkuang.bsky.social for my #HRCYED series stairway and I’m glad I have a year to do this challenge. Bc I just read the 1st book and I feel like I need therapy. I need to sit with it. I feel like I’m drowning in a grief that’s real, not merely a story #booksky

I went on a week-long reading retreat to see how many r/Fantasy Book Bingo squares I could complete in seven days! Then also added HRDYED 2.0 (Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do) - and here's how I did!

The beginning of this year I set out to read more of my physical TBR AAAND I haven't been great about it. Maybe joining a reading challenge like #hrcyed will get me motivated again
