Novel Musings is a personal reading, listening, and writing catalog created by Matthew Denton. It serves as a reference for browsing the owner’s shelves, keeping track of books and records already owned, and identifying titles and albums still worth finding. Visitors can explore a library of more than 1,400 books, alongside a collection of vinyl records, and browse separate lists of wanted books and wanted vinyl.

The site highlights selected items from these collections, including most-wanted titles and recently added books. Novel Musings also features book reviews, such as reflections on J. V.

Jones’s dark fantasy novel Watcher of the Dead, as well as poems and musings. Its writing section includes personal pieces and references to literary events, while the catalog offers a practical way to revisit and organize interests across reading and music. With its blend of collection tracking, recommendations, reviews, and original writing, Novel Musings provides a personal space for documenting and sharing a lifelong engagement with books, vinyl, and ideas
