Continue ReadingMy reading is getting slower and slower this year. I’ve decided it’s time to officially downgrade my reading goals and have set my Goodreads Challenge down to 100 books. Speaking of reading challenges, I didn’t even glance at my selections for the mini Magical Readathon. I was rather disappointed, but recognise I’ve got a lot […]
Continue ReadingThis week, I’m over at Nerds of a Feather with a review of The Aurora Cycle by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. It’s a stylish teenage space opera offering action and adventure.
Continue ReadingFebruary was the month of short: two short story collections, a book of short poems and a couple of novellas. Perhaps that’s fitting for a short month.

I watched the first season, or maybe part of the first season, before eventually wandering off to shinier shows. More recently, I dusted off the book because it fit a prompt for last year’s […]
Continue ReadingNovember proved yet another very slow reading month. However, this was offset by some serious unhauling of my Mt TBR. I’m hoping to squeeze in some more sorting so that I can go into the new year with more of a mound than a mountain. Or at least a mountain instead of a mountain range. […]

Amusingly enough, it seemed to have a focus on history — be it historical fantasy, historical romance or alternate history.
