Here’s my October Wrap-Up from @thestorygraph.com. I still have three books in progress, but that’s okay. How was your October #reading? Make sure to use #AltText if you’re posting images. #TheStoryGraph #BookSky #books
The image is a summary of reading activities from October 2025 from The StoryGraph account @piecesofamber. It highlights key metrics such as the number of books (10), pages (2,504), hours (33.33), and average rating (3.45). Below these metrics are the highest-rated reads, featuring three individual book covers: "The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi," "The Drone Eats with Me by Atef Abu Saif," and “Birding for a Better World by Molly Adams and Sydney Anderson," rated 4.25, 4.0, and 3.75 stars respectively. A section indicating that the average book length is 316 pages and the average time to finish is 5 days is followed by a breakdown of genres with bar graphs showing the number of books in each category (LGBTQIA+ at 2, Science at 2, Memoir at 2, Feminism at 2, and Young Adult at 1). A pie chart on the left shows 50% of the books are fiction and 50% of nonfiction. Below it, a line graph details daily pages read and minutes listened throughout the month. Another pie chart indicates 80% of the books read were digital and 20% were audio. The bottom right features The Storygraph logo. The image shows an October 2025 reading calendar, featuring book cover art, a daily schedule, and statistics for reading progress. The calendar layout includes days starting from September 29, 2025, to November 2, 2025. Each day has spaces for entries of pages read and minutes listened. Book cover images are scattered across the calendar on specific days, indicating books read or listened to during those dates. Color-coded bars extend horizontally across several days, representing the duration spent on each book. Several icons depict pages read, minutes listened, and achievements in reading.

I felt the same way at the beginning of the ongoing covid pandemic. I felt fear and immense possibility. I really thought this was the catalyst for us all to have better lives.

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: I didn’t want to marry. I’d fallen in love with Corey, but I didn’t know how I’d feel ten, twenty, thirty years in the future, and I didn’t believe in promises I couldn’t keep.

Lots of things deserve parties and banquets. Lots of relationships are sacred. Why not celebrate them all? Lola Milholland Group Living and Other Recipes: A Memoir

Lily, a small black and tan Miniature Pinscher, standing on a bed with a light green comforter and wearing a cake with candles hat that reads Happy Birthday (only the Happy is visible). Lily is facing the camera at a slight angle and standing up on all fours. She’s looking at three birthday cake toys. Two are a full birthday cake with colorful candles; one is mostly out of view. The third is a slice of cake with sprinkles and a blue candle on top.

Communal and community.

#CurrentlyReading #GroupLivingAndOtherRecipes #LolaMilholland #books #reading #BookSky
Black text on white background. Transcribed text: Most people in the world live in communal settings. To stigmatize group living is to dismiss the pressures of the housing crisis; the need to reimagine women’s unpaid domestic labor; the fact that loneliness and isolation menace all ages; and the racist, classist roots of the nuclear family and single-family home.

This is an interesting take. I like it. Also this is this is the second time recently that I’ve heard about anxiety being about the future and things that haven’t happened (yet). #CurrentlyReading #TheHealingHippoOfHinodePark #MichikoAoyama #BookSky #books #reading #anxiety
Black text on white background. Transcribed text: ‘I think anxiety is evidence of a powerful imagination,’ said the woman. ‘Imagination?’ ‘That’s right. Anxiety is something you feel about something that hasn’t happened yet or about others. The fact that you can picture those things shows you have a good imagination.’ I feel anxious because of my imagination? I’d never thought of it that way. I felt somewhat relieved and let out a deep sigh. ‘I always thought that imagination was for positive things.’ ‘Sure, kindness and consideration are all part of imagination. I think someone as anxious as you must be a kind person.’ Michiko Aoyama The Healing Hippo of Hinode Park: A Novel

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: What a great first day! Thanks to all of you, we’ve raised $81 towards my goal. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate every one of you. Please continue to share with others if you can so we can help Mandy and Lara Sirdah. I’m also happy to report that I identified 8 total species today: blue jay, American crow, northern mockingbird, northern cardinal, house sparrow, turkey vulture, Carolina wren, and white-throated sparrow. I wasn’t counting on the white-throated sparrows! They left in the spring and I knew they’d be back for autumn/winter, but I wasn’t sure when. They like to sleep in our bamboo and I thought I heard one last night, but was like nah. And the the sun set this evening and there were a bunch of voices! They made me so happy. This is why birding is so special. Until tomorrow! A turkey vulture soaring high in a deep blue sky with white wisps of cloud past a green-but-turning-yellow deciduous tree. It is a large bird that appears all dark because of the distance but the two-toned undersides of the wings are still visible in shades of “dark”, lighter on the entire trailing edge of the wings. Its wings make a V shape. The vulture wing “fingers” are visible as well.

A lowlight photo of a blue jay sitting on a branch of a large deciduous tree the morning of the first day of the Feminist Bird Club birdathon for the Birders of Palestine, the Sirdah twins. The sun is peeking through the green leaves and the jay is facing right. The sun is shining on its white breast and side while its blue and black head and its tail are in shadow. Its iconic blue wings can’t be seen from this angle.

The first day of the birdathon for Birders of Palestine is going well so far. I saw and heard four species so far this morning: 4 American Crows, 3 Blue Jays, 1 Northern Mockingbird, and 2 Northern Cardinals. I was extra excited about the cardinals because one was an adult male and the other was an all brown juvenile! Back in August I watched three cardinals hatch and fledge and hang around the yard and I'm glad to see that at least one survived and to see how it's grown! l've also received three donations so far: thank you so much! I appreciate all of you.

I was grateful to spot a male monarch butterfly today. He looks so fresh and new, he must have eclosed in the last couple of days, maybe even today. He was fueling up on some purple aster. He’ll be on his way to Mexico soon! #MonarchButterfly #pollinators #migrators #butterflies #MonarchButterflies
