Well, hello there,

 Welcome back to a place you’ve never been before. The blog has another home, again. One of these days, I’m going to find the perfect place to keep my blog. I had a blogspot YEARS ago, and really loved it, but they told me they were shutting down, so I moved, even though it’s very clear that wasn’t true, and I’ve shed a tear for all of the lost time. 

 Speaking of lost time, both Summer Slash videos are LIVE! We’re halfway through our readathon, and the only novel I’ve finished wasn’t even on the list. *sigh* As a reminder, the TBR is as follows: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw, The Counselors by Jessica Goodman, and The Decagon House by Yukito Ayatsuji. 

 Since making this TBR and telling other people for the accountability, I’ve completed one arc: Murder by the Book by Amie Shaumberg. I’m 42% into And Then There Were None, I’m 4 chapters into The Library at Hellebore, and I’ve been approved/have received the following Arcs: House of Hearts by Skyla Arndt 9.2.25, Foresyth Conservatory by A.L. Sterling 10.25.25, Agent Cupcake by Mel Hilario 11.4.25, You Did Nothing Wrong by C.G. Drews 3.17.26 and The Resurrectionist by Kathleen Allen 10.7.25.

 September and October are about to be absolutely bonkers in terms of trying to finish arcs! In September, there are 5 releases, and in October, there are 7!💀 I was accepted to vend at the Cincinnati Art Book Fair, and I’m so excited and nervous! This will be the first time vending since College. College Gabs and Now Gabs are completely different people, and I’m worried a little bit about it. I’m selling Bookmarks, stickers, and t-shirts, along with some books I planned on putting up on Pango. I’ll even have a few Blind book dates available. So, of course, designing and printing my own merch has also taken up a significant part of my time. 

 I’m printing everything next week, so I’ll be ready, and then I’ll be able to fully focus on my readathon. I plan on finishing Agatha this week and heading onto the Decagon Murders, since these are the two longest novels, Counselors, I have on Audio, so that will help speed up the process. 

 What have you been reading lately?!

Until Next Time,

Gabs
