And I'm currently on page 253 of "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara and Chapter 8 of "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by ... well, I don't know the author's name off-hand T__T Sorry.
Wow! I thought I didn't do a lot of reading this month; if you'd asked me off the top of my head, I would have only remembered the Re-Animator comics because they were so bad! And "Heart of Thomas" because it was so recent, and so good XD A lot of these are novellas and short stories, all of which were excellent. And I get to make the rules, so I'm counting them as books XD
This month I read Kate Bornstein for the first time, sank deep into a Re-Animator obsession, realized I actually really like Lovecraft's writing (I used to HATE it), finally finished "No Straight Lines," an anthology I read the first 50% of years ago, read a cookbook front-to-finish, and got my socks blown off by "Chartwell Manor" and "Heart of Thomas," one very American comic book about molestation/rape at a boys' boarding school and one very Japanese manga about the same thing.
