1. I'm gonna be a bit self-indulgent this week and start with something I threw out into the ether. My tweet soliciting anticapitalist discussion posts about themes in speculative fiction got much more interest than I thought. A bunch of people contacted me saying they want to contribute or already have ideas to pitch, so... Continue Reading →

It's a good thing I started writing these 'month in review' posts to mostly talk about stuff I've been doing and enjoying outside of books and blogging cos I've not blogged or reviewed all that much the past couple of months. I feel like the meat and potatoes of my blog should be book reviews,... Continue Reading →
Evening bookwyrms, hope you're all well. I realised I'd inadvertently stopped doing my reading updates a little while ago. No idea why, but I'm excited to get back to them. I'm also reviving the Hey! Watcha Readin' series tagline from way back when. I started out using it when I first started blogging, but dropped... Continue Reading →
