Over the course of the year, I’ve found it a bit of a struggle to get into the reading mindset. Audio books have been a lifeline for me as far as books go and I can get through those at an absolutely absurd rate. I suddenly feel like I’m coming into more of a flow…… Continue reading Book Haul – Trying to get my motivation back
I’m struggling to find time to blog, but am still getting through a fair amount of audio books and the occasional regular read. By the time I actually get back into some kind of regular rhythm, I should have bag loads of stuff to review. Even more considering the amount I’ve picked up recently. Audible…… Continue reading Book Haul
Since Audible finally let the UK catch up with the rest of Europe by giving us access to the Audible Plus catalogue, I’ve been browsing the free goodies that I can sink my teeth … ears into. Unfortunately, my main loves of fantasy and sci-fi (and for the most part horror) don’t have the greatest of…… Continue reading Audio Binge/Haul
July, and dare I venture a guess at August as well, are going to be low points in my reading this year. I already hit my personal goal of fifty-two books (currently at fifty-seven), so anything else is just a bonus. With work being a lot busier now (I work in the live events industry…… Continue reading July 2021 Wrap-Up
Due to coming into contact with someone who tested positive for Covid, I’m having to self-isolate (I’m testing negative at least). Was hoping to power through some books … but I also got a PS5 recently so the whole ‘power through some books’ idea turned into ‘get the platinum trophy on Ratchet & Clank’ instead.…… Continue reading Book Haul
As a rule I tend to set myself a target of reading a book a week throughout the year. Last year, I smashed that by hitting one-hundred books over the course of the year so decided that a ‘half-yearly look at me’ style post was in order. This year, by June 30th I have managed…… Continue reading My Half Year in Books Jan 1st – June 30th
I’ve been like a book magpie this past month and it appears everything is shiny and everything must be picked up. Considering my actual reading time has slowed quite a bit, I just seem to be throwing more fuel on to a fire that is in absolutely no danger of ever going out. The first…… Continue reading Book Haul
Blurb: Thirteen hundred gates have opened to solar systems around the galaxy. But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the alien ruins, the mysteries and threats grow deeper. In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets, Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a genocide…… Continue reading Tiamat’s Wrath by James S. A. Corey – An Audio Book Review
I felt like I was doing fairly well at keeping to my ‘don’t get too many books before you got through the TBR on your kindle’ rule I have … so, naturally, when the TBR got down to the high teens I picked more up. Physical/E-Books The Library of the Unwritten in Hell was saved…… Continue reading Book Haul
Around the half way point of the year I did a ‘my half year in books’ so thought it would make total sense to do the 2nd half of that post now. If the post is unreadable it’s because I have grouped images together and you are reading on a mobile device. If WordPress has…… Continue reading My Half Year In Books (July 1st to December 31st) 2020
