Finally got round to adding some more reviews. The site stability issues would appear to have been resolved by our hosting provider, but will keep a close eye on the site over the next few weeks to make sure that the fix that they applied is working properly. Just finished a couple of books, and… Read More »

Site downtime

I have been having some problems with the site for a few days now. Unfortunately, this has been outside of my control, and have raised a ticket with the hosting company. Hopefully this will be resolved shortly. Shortly after I raised the ticket with them, the site came back up (for the first time in… Read More »

So it’s been a very long time since I posted to the blog. Unfortunately, my wife and I have decided to go our separate ways, which has resulted in a lot of changes in my personal life. I have also changed my job while all this was going on, so that hasn’t helped. I am… Read More »

So I’ve had a few days off of reviewing, mostly down to having a nasty cold, and feeling a little rubbish. Rather than reading, I’ve been watching a bit of TV, in particular, I watched the Amazon re-imagining of The Peripheral by William Gibson, a book I reviewed recently (here). There are going to be… Read More »

Every weekend I go round the charity shops to pick up a book or three for the following week. This benefits both me getting the books for a lot less than the original price, and the charity itself as they get to use my money for good causes. I do have a few charity shops… Read More »

I’ve made a couple of changes to the site adding two new categories for kids/young adults and non-fiction. The latter is probably going to be the hardest for me, as I tend not to read non-fiction. However, my daughter, who is a history teacher, does read a lot of historical accounts, so I will be… Read More »

I have some plans for quality of life updates for the site. I want to start indexing by author, which should make it easier to find specific books. Obviously the search function will help with finding specific books or authors, but an alphabetic list by author will certainly help. I may also do an alphabetic… Read More »

So today I have been going through and updating all of the reviews that are currently on the site. The reason for this is that I have realised that these are less review and more summary. Now, following the update, they are covered in much more detail. In addition, as these are curated reviews which… Read More »
