Angelic Paranoia

In 2022 my book goal was to read more books than I acquired. Which would then get my to read pile down a bit. I read 9 more books than I acquired. Which is good and I achieved my goal. It just didn't get my to read pile down by much... So my 2023 book... Continue reading

Yesterday me and my sister went to Hay-on-Wye for the day. Hay-on-Wye is a market town just the other side of the Welsh border and it's famous for its second hand bookshops. We spent about four to five hours just looking at bookshops (and buying a lot of books). By the end of it my... Continue reading

(I really need to create myself a template for these posts, because I can never remember the prompts) What I Just Finished Reading The Angel's Kiss by Melody Malone. It's written from River's point of view and she has a high opinion of herself, which makes the tone quite amusing. It's probably just as well... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading There's nothing like a long train journey for getting a lot read. I finally finished Singled Out by Virginia Nicholson. It was really interesting, talking about how before the First World War getting married and having children was considered to be what every woman aspired to, and spinsters were to...

Earlier this week I promised I'd talk about books set after the TV series had ended. I haven't read many of these - aside from recently reading the Stargate Atlantis ones I've read the odd Star Trek one and the odd Doctor Who: New Adventures ones. They do have some things in common: it is... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Mock the Week's Only Book You'll Ever Need. It's just a collection of all sorts of 'scenes we'd like to see'. It was quite amusing. I bought it because it was 99p and I would say it was worth it. It was very useful because right after I bought it... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading The Science of Discworld IV: Judgement Day. It could be that I'm remembering the previous Science of Discworld books wrong, but the science in this one feels less integrated into the narrative. The Discworld fictional bits are short and the science chapters are long and only vaguely related to the... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading The Stargate Atlantis Legacy series. Talking about that is a whole post on its own, so I won't do so here. What I'm Currently Reading The Science of Discworld IV: Judgement Day. I got this one for my birthday - it's been out for so long that it's in paperback,... Continue reading

A rare Wednesday when I am in! While ballet stops for Easter. What I Just Finished Reading When I last posted one of these it was before I went to Torquay and after a look through my shelves I decided I didn't want to take anything new in case I didn't like it (and there... Continue reading

I have read a few books recently that I decided I wanted to talk about:
