November 2026 TBR

Hi. It’s November. We have two months until the end of the year. Possibly two of the busiest months and I still need to read 10 books to hit my goal. Anyhow, here’s my November 2026 TBR. I’ve only added three books because I plan to mood read for most of the month. I’m hoping […]

Classic Horror Retellings

I love a good classic horror, but I also love a good classic horror retelling. I like to see how modern authors take a well-known story and turn it into something a little different and fresh. But not all retellings are created equally. I’ve read some really good ones and some really bad ones. Today […]

Two Ghoulish Ghost Stories

Ghost stories are my favorite genre of horror. It’s where my love of horror started. Normally, I read more of them throughout the year, but this year I was a little slack.

A lot has changed in the intervening years. These days, Chizmar enjoys […]

Will I Make My Reading Goal?

I’m running behind on my reading goal this year. While I know a number goal doesn’t really matter, it’s important to me. When I set a goal, I want to finish a goal. I blame that on my Capricorn nature. So, anyhow I just wanted to take a second and break down my goal and […]
