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…

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…

WWW+W Wednesday – 28th Sept
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…

What are you reading? King – Ben Kane A book picked up on a whim from the local library. It’s the third, and final, book in a trilogy featuring Richard the Lionheart and his loyal retainer, Sir Rufus. I’ve been wanting to get more historical fiction under my reading belt and figured this was a…

Monthly Wrap up – August 2022
This month I hit my yearly goal of reading 52 books, with another four months left in the year. Is still have a few reading goals I’d like to hit. Mostly surrounding the Horus Heresy, but there’s no pressure on buddy readers! I’ve not written a wrap up post for a few months, but figured…
