3W Wednesday – 2nd March
What are you reading? The Handmaids Tale – Margaret Atwood I picked up The Handmaid’s Tale from the local library after watching the first series. It’s always good to compare sources between books and TV series. Currently, I am enjoying the TV series more as I am finding the writing style of the book a […]

What are you reading? Claws of the Genestealer – Cavan Scott This came about due to a conversation with BooshHammer on Instagram – they posted about the first book in this series.

2021 Book Summary
The advantage of using an external site like GoodReads is that it does all the hard work for you when it comes to summaries. It stores all the data and keeps it handy when it comes to doing the yearly write-up. I started using Goodreads right at the end of 2019, so my data for […]

3w Wednesday – 20th Oct
I feel like I have been most unproductive this past week or so, blog wise. I got ‘stuck’ on a book that I should have DNF’ed, but was too stubborn to quit; mostly due to it’s acclaim as being a good book. Alas, this was not my experience! So, I have a couple of blog […]
