Who knew such things existed?! You don't have to have a garden to enjoy nature, it seems. Over the past… Continue reading Sunday Summary – 27th May 2018

Book Review: Eternity’s Echoes – Evan Hirson
Science-fiction is probably the genre I pick up the least often (aside from those I don't touch at all, obviously...) because I don't consider myself "technically" minded and thus inadequate to read it. Start talking to me about a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff, or the physics behind it and you will see my eyes simply glaze over.

I feel like over the past couple of weeks, my attention span and my inclination to read had dwindled a little. That's not to say I stopped reading, because I didn't. I have been reading some great books, but I think the nicer weather is having it's effect on me. I've spent more time out… Continue reading Sunday Summary – 20th May 2018

Five Reasons I Don’t Rate Netgalley
I think pretty much all book bloggers have or will dabble with the offerings of sites such as Netgalley, Edelweiss or Bookbridgr at some point. I mean, what's not to love about free books, right? Well. I see other bloggers hugely enthusiastic about the site... usually talking about how they have downloaded FAR too many… Continue reading Five Reasons I Don’t Rate Netgalley
Reading List: May 2018
It's May. There - I said it. As much as we all wish for Summer and the warmer climes associated with it (somewhere... far, far away from here perhaps), I just have to ask the question... where has the beginning of this year gone?
