Book Haul – 14th Jan
So much for the whole “not getting new books this year” thing. These came into the shop at various points in the last week or so and have managed to make their way home with me. When I’ll get round to them, I don’t know. Especially considering reading isn’t my No. 1 priority right now;…

Book Haul – 9th Jan
In the attempt to update the blog more this year with personal stuff as well as Book Reviews, I thought I’d post hauls and that sort of thing! This isn’t an attempt to say “Look at what I got,” but more a way to try and keep up with the books I bring in vs…

2022 Book Summary
Another Year. Another Summary. 2022 was a strange year in many respects. I read more books but turned fewer pages and picked up (and became a bit obsessed with) a new genre – one that I do intend on reading more of in 2023 – Orc Smut – but, I also aim to get back…

Monthly Wrap up – Nov 2022
Well, in terms of reading, blogging and generally being present on WordPress in November. I got pretty much nothing. The Orc’s Princess – Poppy Kildare I enjoyed this series more than I should probably admit, but this one wasn’t my favourite. The female protagonist just wasn’t my cup of tea; but that’s down to me…

Monthly Wrap Up – Oct 2022
I was only reminded that it was the end of the month and I was due to write a wrap-up via a comment by Dave. Thanks for the prompt! Things this month have been full of highs and lows – highs because I’ve read a fair few goods, some decent, some not. Lows because the…

WWW+W Wednesday – 19th Oct
What are you reading? Rogal Dorn: The Emperor’s Crusader – Gav Thorpe I’m about a quarter of the way through this book and I kinda hate it. The meeting of four Primarchs in one large scale campaign should be really awesome. But it’s not. It’s so dry and dull and ugh, I might DNF it…

What are you reading? Courting Dragons – Jeri Westerson Acquired a digital copy of this book via NetGalley. So far it’s proving to be a bit of success. The story involves King Henry 8th’s Fool investigating the rumours of his King’s Court and the attempts to dethrone the Queen; all the while facing personal blackmail…

WWW+W Wednesday – 5th October
What are you Reading? Mortarion: The Pale King – David Annandale I know, I know, I was due for some Historical Fiction, but I got this book in the mail and really wanted to read it. I’m only at the beginning where two of Mortarions brothers have dragged him back to the Galaspar System to…

Monthly Wrap Up – September 2022
This month doesn’t feel like it has even started and yet, here we are at the end! Three months left of the year. Have you put your heating on yet? This month I’ve managed to cross a few books off getting towards the second of my reading goals of the year. Still not entirely sure…

What are you Reading? Betrayer – Aaron Dembski-Bowden Best. Book. Ever. I’m really enjoying this entry in the Horus Heresy series. Word Bearers and World Eaters doing typically heretical things! Great characterisations and wonderful descriptions that don’t go overboard and feel bloated. I love the chemistry between the characters. I’m only half way through and…
