This month I started project Attack on Backlog, which I’m hoping will see me get through all the light novels I’ve been stockpiling over the last few months. I only started this toward the end of the month so I don’t think we’ll see the benefits just yet.
Another month, another reading log~ This past month I decided to go all-in on binging How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord, so it’ll be interesting to see if that has affected the numbers drastically at all. Let’s find out!
Another month of the year down! However, March includes my birthday so it’s a pretty bad time of the year in terms of my backlog growth. Let’s find out how much I’ve managed to read away…
Second month of the year! Time is already going by quite fast, but I feel like I spent a bit more time playing games this month than I did reading. Let’s find out!
It’s the first reading log of a new year, so now I need to desperately try to remember to type 2021 while I slowly crumble under the sheer amount of reading I got done in the last month. Time to take a look!
It’s almost Christmas! This hell of a year is finally winding down, hopefully leading to better things next time around. I don’t think I read quite as much in November as I did October, but time to find out for sure…
Only two months of the year left, boy that flew by. This month I feel like I accomplished a lot by finally getting through the rest of my Bakuman re-read! Here’s what else I’ve been reading this month:

So somehow I read 65 manga and 25 light novels compared to 38/18 last month, but I guess reading so much Bakuman will do that to a person! Meanwhile the pile of shame continues to look particularly unhealthy as I add to it faster than I read anything out of it (you’d think writing these posts every month would actually do something for me eventually)…
Now we’re headed into October the weather is starting to be colder, which is the perfect time to sit around and binge books! The amount of books in my pile of shame is steadily growing, but I’m hoping I’ve made some progress in keeping them under control.

So quite a few completed series this month (which is especially nice when it comes to LNs since it feels like so many simply never end). Numbers are down a bit from August being 38 and 18 vs 59/20, but I am pleased I didn’t fall too far behind in my LN reading. Heck if you count Katanagatari as 3 books I actually accomplished more than usual. ^^;
Here’s the backlog atm, looking pretty busy since I bought a number of books off a friend of mine. Hahaha…ha.
Currently reading: Combatants Will Be Dispatched! volume 4 (LN)
August has been a busy month as I finally returned to work properly and therefore had more money to irresponsibly spend on new books… Let’s see what I got through this month!

Speaking of the backlog, here’s how things are looking this month…
(I dug the Bakuman boxset back out so I could finish my reread, also not pictured is a volume of A Sister’s All You Need, Torture Princess and The Eminence in Shadow which I’m reading)
