2025 is not far off being done :O We are already into October this year, and it started with people making sweeping declarations on what they are going to achieve (I put myself into the group), then losing any momentum by the end of January for most people. I am into October now, and although…
It’s been a busy month leading up to Xmas and then the day itself, and I haven’t gotten as much reading done as I would like. I need to start posting more in here as it keeps me engaged. I set myself a Goodreads goal of reading 35 books this year and I managed this….
Apologies the rate of posts has stalled, it’s been a busy couple of months. I am still reading and I have a few reviews to get up, it’s just finding the time. Currently, I am reading several books. This goes against my rule of one Fantasy and one Sci-Fi book, but I am steadily reading…
I love books, this goes without saying. But I also love to meet the authors that I love to read. This is something that is normally out of reach for me as I either don’t have the funds or it’s just too far to go to events that are more often than not, in London!…
I was close to cancelling this again as the latest box was disappointing. It is a gamble what you get with subscriptions like these. The latest one had a book I own already had with Blade Priest. (Not supposed to happen as I linked my GoodReads, but they asked me to regift it and will…
I need to get posting on here a bit more and getting on track with my reading is one way of doing this. I am in a bit of a reading slowdown (I won’t say slump) I am currently reading: I said this year I would stick to one Audio, one Sci-Fi, and finally one…
I got an email not long ago offering me a box of stories extra box as an offer, so given that I have a book-buying problem I couldn’t resist, so I bought it. I do have another on the way but this one was pretty good. These boxes are always a gamble as you just…
Inkstone Books is a website for selling Science Fiction & Fantasy books, a great service for getting collectible amazing looking books. I was on the waiting list for this service for quite a while and recently was offered a spot, I snapped up the chance to get these books. It does cost £24.99 a quarter…
I recently signed back up for the subscription service from A Box of Stories. Their mission is to save as many books as possible from landfill. It costs £24.99 (frequency depending, I chose quarterly) According to the website, 77 million books a year in the UK are destroyed, and 83% of them are pulped before…
Hi, my name is Graham, and I have a problem. I feel like any post I put up about a book haul should start with these words. My family and friends laugh about my book-buying addiction and to be honest most of the time I agree with them. I have a problem. But, it’s not…
