Book Review: The City Among the Stars, by Francis Carsac

This week, I’m finally publishing my review for Francis Carsac’s The City Among the Stars, available in English for the first time since its “Golden Age of Science Fiction” publication. How does it hold up all these years later though? Read on to find out! This fair and unbiased review was conducted with gratitude for… Read More Book Review: The City Among the Stars, by Francis Carsac

Book Review: The Stranding, by Kate Sawyer

This week, things are looking decidedly apocalyptic, as I review debut author Kate Sawyer’s The Stranding. This fair and unbiased review was conducted with gratitude for the free electronic copy of the book which I received from the publisher, Hodder & Stoughton. This review contains an affiliate link to Bookshop.org, which will earn me a… Read More Book Review: The Stranding, by Kate Sawyer

Book Review: Sweet Harmony, by Claire North

This week, the subject of my review is Claire North’s dystopian novella Sweet Harmony, set in a near-future world where humanity has lovingly embraced nano-technology. But is the beauty it engineers only skin-deep?

This #bookhaul is not entirely the result of a single trip, this is just everything I've bought since my last haul picture (probably on Twitter). I blame @thevoiceofboo for The Virgin Suicides, as she made it sound amazing. I can't remember who to blame for The Infinite and the Divine, but I know I was talking to someone about it - speak up if you think it was you!
A few holiday snaps! First pic - the dogs impatiently waiting in their cage to be allowed to explore their temporary home. Second pic - the ruined abbey at Dunwich as the sun sets. Third pic - my sister's dog Hudson looks mournfully on the empty breakfast plate that wasn't for him.
Easily the biggest book haul I've ever had! This is the result of a spending spree with a birthday book token. The bag was really heavy.
Just received this extremely cool set of bookends as a surprise gift! You can expect to see these in all my stack photos from now on, I absolutely love them!
My most recent read, finished last night. There's a lot of bioengineered food for thought in this one!
A helpful reminder that just because you can do something, that doesn't mean you should. Like taking pretty photos of a book lying in snow, for example. Thankfully, the book is OK, after I brushed off a lot of the clingy white stuff!
January's physical read books! It's been a great reading month for me, with a couple of ARC eBooks thrown in for good measure too (Rebecca Roanhorse's Black Sun and Stephen Deas' The Moonsteel Crown).
A couple of days in Wales - not in the happiest circumstances, sadly - but some beautiful views around here.
I don't even care that this won't fit alongside any of my other books, it's such a cool design! This month's #bookclub pick, courtesy of @jessicarose.1995, can't wait to get started on this one.
I actually won a competition! Courtesy of @rebellionpublishing, this arrived today, can't wait to read it!
UK giveaway!
Never happier than when he's got a snack #dogsofinstagram #dog #kingcharlescavalier #spanielsofinstagram #spaniel
