I started posting regular logs of my novel-reading to facebook in 2015, about half a decade after I'd wandered off from making similar posts to my livejournal/dreamwidth. Facebook made sense for this because it was, as those sites had been before it, the part of the internet where it felt easiest for the things I wrote to be in conversation with, and to spark more conversation in reply from, my friends. That's less true now -- facebook is increasingly hostile to conversation, and a lot of my friends have left -- and I'm drawn to the possibilities of cohost, a social medium that feels a lot like livejournal used to but that I haven't yet managed to use much. So I think I'm going to start posting these (t)here; I'll still mirror them on facebook, at least for now, but it's no longer what I'm thinking of as their primary location.
Hi, cohost! Here are the 11 novels (or things I've chosen to treat as novels) I've read since the end of June. Eight of them were physical books, which is a reversal from how I've found it easier to read electronically for most of the pandemic; as with when I first noticed that I was reading mostly ebooks, I have no idea what accounts for this shift, and can only observe, mostly after the fact, that it seems to have happened.
