The Great Series Read Project Launch Part 2: Electric Bookaloo

Evening bookwyrms. The more discerning among you may have realised it's been two months since I posted part one of my Great Series Read Project launch.

“No One Escapes Cidhna Mine”: September in Review

Happy Spooky Season one and all, however you choose to celebrate. I've got a new cauldron on order, a rewatch of Hocus Pocus planned out and a bunch of small press horror books and short stories on hand to see me through the month of dark magic and pumpkin spiced lattes (yes I've embraced my...

Interview With Peat Long, Blogger at Peat Long’s Blog

Hey Peat, I’m excited to have you here for a chat! I’ve been reading your blog for a good while now and it’s definitely one that stands out in the crowd for me. Before we get into all that bookish goodness though, outside of being a fantasy mega fan you’re also a big ice hockey...

What’s Occurring? A Bookish Community Roundup 10/09/2021

1. I'm gonna be a bit self-indulgent this week and start with something I threw out into the ether.

You Are What You Have: August in Review

Happy September bookwyrms. One month closer to Spooky Season and my basic ass is getting stirred up for the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the imminent prospect of reading spooky ghost stories by candlelight when it starts getting dark at 5pm again. Reading-wise, I read one whole book in August, and it was...

What’s Occurring? A Bookish Community Roundup 13/08/2021

Hello bookwyrms. I've been thinking of doing something like this for a while and Blogger Appreciation week has given me the kick up the arse I needed. There's always so many great posts, book reviews, community projects and other good stuff going on that I want to support and direct people to, so strap in...

The Great Series Read Project Launch (Part 1)

So, inspired by Caitlin's long-running Great Series Read project over at Realms Of My Mind, I've decided I need to get a handle on all the unfinished series I have on the go. As you'll see from the sheer number of books in this post, I have a lot of series on the go right...
