Place for lists and challenges and other waffling :)
Welcome to my contribution to this year's Spooktastic Reads - 13 days (and nights!) of thrills and chills and all things spooky! Also an excellent kick to get back into blogging after the unholy (see what I did there?!) combination of house moves and job interviews happening a little bit too much at the same … Continue reading Spooktastic Reads 2024
I don't often take part in the weekly prompts, but this one spoke to me. I'm about to start my summer holiday, and reading loads is high on the list of wannas! But what might I be at least planning on picking up? Well, there are ARCs - thankfully fewer these days (I'm being good/sensible!), … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Summer Reading List
Well here's something new for 2024, even though it's looking back at 2023! But as well as reading and watching movies, there's been an awful lot of really, really good tv this year. Like films, I've sucked totally at getting any reviews written, so I'm going to cheat catch up with a 'best of' kind … Continue reading 2023: A year in tv
Gosh, how very last year this is 😉 But hey - let's finish the 12 months of posts! December was quite a restrained month - too busy buying pressies for other people rather than myself, I suppose? But looking at the annual stats a little (see the end of the post), it looks like I … Continue reading Stacking the Shelves – December 2023
It's been a goodly long while since I did one of these, but I've also been very lax on reviewing movies this past year. Following the interruptus maximus (y'know what I mean), I never did go back to having a cinema pass, so the whole movie experience is very different than with 2017's post. Cinema That said, … Continue reading 2023: A year in movies
Sometimes life doesn't quite go to plan, and so instead of Sci-Fi Month, I found myself having 'surprise' surgery that left me with limited use of my hand/arm, and not a huge amount of concentration either. Oof. eBooks I thoroughly enjoyed the first trilogy of Pierce Brown's Red Rising series, although I've yet to start … Continue reading Stacking the Shelves – November 2023
The nights are fair drawn in - and that's my excuse for buying more books! Woo! 🙂 eBooks I've heard more than one source rave about the Rook and Rose fantasy series by MA Carrick, so I nabbed offers on the first two: Mask and Mirrors, and The Liar's Knot. "Ren is a con artist who … Continue reading Stacking the Shelves – October 2023
Ah, it's that time of year again! The weather takes a turn for the colder and darker (at least, here in the northern hemisphere), making it the perfect time to balance cosy blankets and hot drinks with some chilling reads... it's time to join the Wyrd and Wonder gang for 2023's Spooktastic Reads! 🙂 Looking … Continue reading Spooktastic Reads 2023
Life continued to feel hectic through September, despite or perhaps because of a week off work for my birthday. It was lovely, but at the same time added several sets of visitors and celebrations, without dropping any of the 'other' tasks - so, busy! But I feel the push was worth it, as I now … Continue reading Stacking the Shelves – September 2023
I know, I know - September is a third of the way done! What can I say, life has been kinda hectic. I dream of the day when I can stop saying things like that, but perhaps today is not quite that day...! On the one hand, I've been almost too busy to read. On … Continue reading Stacking the Shelves – August 2023
