Hello bookwyrms, nice to see you all again and nice of you to check in and have a look see what I'm reading at the mo. You might notice a bit of a theme in the books featured today. They're all a bit grim and a bit dark. Grimdark if you will. That's because I've... Continue Reading →
Reading Update 05/12/2020
Well bookwyrms, I'm definitely in a reviewing slump. Definitely not a reading slump, cos I've actually been reading a lot of books, I just cba writing reviews for any of them haha. It does mean there's some reviews outstanding for a couple more cyberpunk books I read during SciFi Month, so you can look forward... Continue Reading →
Get to know the SF Reader
I recently saw a bunch of people doing this tag and it looked like a lot of fun. I'm also in a bit of a reviewing funk at the mo, which is annoying given I have a few more books I'd like to talk about for SciFi Month, but this was a nice way to... Continue Reading →
Reading Update 18/11/2020
Recently Finished: SHADOW AND BONE by Leigh BardugoI decided to read this on a whim without really knowing anything about it. Mainly because I'm very interested in reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and I have a weird thing where I like to read authors books in order, so I can see how they... Continue Reading →
What Is Cyberpunk?
Ok, so given I'm gonna be exclusively talking about cyberpunk on the blog during SciFi Month, it's probably a good idea to talk a bit about what it is. Subgenres are fickle, amorphous things so don't take this as a comprehensive overview. I'm sure there'll be many things I leave out and probably some stuff... Continue Reading →
Cyberpunk SciFi Month is ready for lift off!
Yesss, I've been looking forward to SciFi Month for weeks! As much as I love Halloween and all things spooky season, science fiction is my one true love and I'm strapped in and ready for lift off. Though in all likelihood most of my reading won't involve much interstellar travel or interaction with alien species,... Continue Reading →
October Reloaded: Monthly Wrap Up
Happy November bookwyrms! October is over and that means it's time for the first of my revamped wrap up posts. Looking back, I haven't done one of these since April (jeez) so I'm excited to dive back in. Funnily enough I didn't actually do much reading in October cos I spent a good chunk of...

Reading Update 31/10/2020
Hey bookwyrms, it's been a few weeks since a good reading update cos I've been playing through The Last Of Us parts one and two for a good chunk of October and that had me utterly hooked and absorbed for a good week and a half. Very much back into the reading rhythm now though... Continue Reading →
State of the Blog 2: Electric Blogaloo
Hey bookwyrms, I'm gonna cut straight to the chase here cos I'm actually not really in the writing mood today, just wanted to give a quick update. Regular readers probably read my State of the Blog post a few weeks back, where I talked about how I was planning on having a regular schedule of... Continue Reading →
Reading update 04/10/2020
Recently Finished: SOURDOUGH by Robin SloanThis was such a delightful book. It's basically just the story of a computer programmer who finds happiness in baking bread when her favourite soup and sandwich takeout closes and the owners gift her their (possibly sentient?) sourdough starter. It was recommended to me by eriophora (@BasiliskBooks) on Twitter when... Continue Reading →
