…To quote Granny Weatherwax and Terry Pratchett. I’m just taking it slow.
The wheels though are turning behind the scenes in NRs Reading Rooms.
Look for a review of Unseen Academicals by Sir Terry this week. I loved it. A great reminder of how amazing he can be be.
I’m reading Hell’s Bells by Paul Magrs right now [...]

Update: When one isn't enough
There is something funny about me and reading, I’m hoping it’s not just me but I do know people that don’t do it so perhaps I am odd, and the funny thing is that there are just some books that I can’t read all the time.
Under the Dome is a bit like that. I’m reading [...]
Update: Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
The most immediate is I’ve changed the theme again. I honestly think that this is going to be the last for a while. The theme is thanks to John Ottinger and his excellent Grasping for the Wind blog where I found it and iStockPhoto were I bought the graphic.
More substantial, I’ve added both a Book [...]
Update: Stock Taking Coming Soon
Oh gosh, it must be coming to Christmas, or at least the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting darker because it’s the season to read and to watch new TV series.
I’ve just watched the season opener to Stargate Universe. Great premise and how to restart a cannon. Hope it’s not going [...]
H2G2 Week: It’s getting extended
It’s my own fault for being over ambitious but then if you don’t get anywhere by taking it easy. My reading time this week has been a little shorted than I’d wanted. So I’m 2 1/2 books into Douglas Adams’ creation. I don’t want to rush them. I’m enjoying them way too much to speed [...]
Update: What I'm juggling, I mean reading
Though it does feel a bit like juggling. I’ve been stupid and been dipping into several books that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while and one or two brand new ones.
This is a break in my usual routine of keeping two books going at the same time so that I can swap [...]
Update: September on NextRead
Well in the end it looks like I’ve taken most of August off full on blogging. Some of it was by design being on holiday for the first half and some of it by accident like taking longer to read Mythago Wood and Avilion than I thought, though I really enjoyed those reviews.
I’ve still [...]
Update: Holiday Reads
That’s the picture of my shelf in my cabin. I filled it. Not that I intended to. I just couldn’t decide what to take. In the end I didn’t manage to get through them all.
I did finish three and got started on a few more. I’ll have full reviews of those I’ve read and the [...]
Update: Reads and Reading
This week has been a little quiet on the blog. I’ve been distracted by reading. And if you’ve seen my Summer Reads post you’d know why.
I’ve finished both Lord of Silence by Mark Chadbourn and The Last Colony by John Scalzi. Meaning I know have three books that I need to review. The other [...]

Catch Up and Comment: RSS Feed Reading and Twiiter
I must admit that after two weeks at sea in early August with relaxation and lack of instant internet access I’ve not been that keen on checking on the actions of my fellow bloggers. This isn’t from any inherent dissatisfaction with any of them. But more that I realised that I’ve got quite enough books [...]
