Angelic Paranoia

I took a break from my fanfic reading when a couple of library holds came in. What I Just Finished Reading A Class Act by Rob Beckett. This is kind of an autobiography, but told in the comparisons between working class and middle class people. He grew up working class and became middle class -... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Coming Up for Air by Tom Daley. I was browsing through the library's ebooks and found this (the library is good for biography on ebook, but not much else). It was really interesting. Each chapter was themed, so there was one about how a camera flash at the 2012 Olympics... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading The Autobiography of Mr. Spock by Una McCormack I was a bit unsure about this one because Spock is my favourite character. But I knew I could trust Una and I was right. I knew a lot of it, although it turns out I've blocked a lot of things involving... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Vicki in Venice by Lorna Hill. This arrived back in October and I was saving it, although I didn't know what for. Then I was ill after my Covid booster, didn't have the energy for anything that wasn't easy to read, so I read this. Although I found even this... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Watching Neighbours Twice a Day by Josh Widdecombe. As the book got to the later 90s then I did watch some of the same thing as Josh, so it was a lot more like a nostalgia book. I enjoyed it, but it's not something I'd ever need to read twice.... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Nothing, since last time. What I'm Currently Reading Toksvig's Almanac 2021. It is very interesting. There's a fact about a woman for each day of the year - usually either on the day she was born or died. Plus some women who don't fit into a date. And facts about... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading The Audacity by Katherine Ryan. I was idly looking through the ebooks you can borrow from the library, which was mostly non-fiction and found this book. Which I didn't even know existed. It's Katherine Ryan's autobiography and it's really interesting. It explains a lot about her comedy and how she... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Limitless by Tim Peake. I discovered, by accident, that it was 99p on Kobo, so I bought it. and I really enjoyed. I do like seeing what other people's lives are like and he was in the Army for a long time, which is totally different to my life. It... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon. I started this ages ago, struggled with it and didn't get far. I picked it up again recently and still struggled. I was on page 77, with a self-imposed page 100 deadline to decide if I liked it, when I put it back down. When... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Olive, Mabel and Me by Andrew Cotter. Now I've finished it I'm still not quite sure how to describe this book. It's about his dogs and hillwalking. It's very readable and it's funny the way he ascribes human thoughts to his dogs - I suppose in the same way as... Continue reading
