You may all be pleased/excited/uncaring to know that, thanks to my mother’s excellent advice in pointing me towards the BookSleuth forum at AbeBooks, I now have the title and author of the bizarre and confusing book that I was so puzzling over!
It is “Lavondyss” by Robert Holdstock, and the reviews on amazon.com [...]

So! There’s this thing I got tagged by Jeanette Bennett, a.k.a. Scablander to do, which basically is one of those “list X things and then fill in the numbers in the questions below with the matching item” things. This one in particular is for various characters of various media.
I’ve linked the characters who [...]

There is a book that I read, many many years ago, which I cannot remember the author, title, or even any names of any characters in it. All I remember is some parts of the story and the fact that it weirded me out.
The second point makes me want to read it again, now [...]

MullberryCrafts on Twitter recently asked me, in the course of a conversation, what books I’d read as a child. To which I responded, of course, that there were far too many to list on Twitter. So instead, I will begin compiling a list here and adding to it as I remember things.
And now, [...]

You can blame theladyisugly for my doing this!

One thing that I find absolutely fascinating is going back and looking at how my interests, preferences, tastes etc. have developed through/since my childhood – particularly now that it’s basically stabilized and probably won’t change too much in the future. The most fascinating one to trace is, in my opinion, my interest (by some [...]

Have I read it recently? Halfway
As a quick note, I just want to say that this new cover (visible to the left) is absolutely hideous. Mine looks like this one, and is in my opinion vastly superior a design. I mean, what is with that hideous pink? Blech!
Anyway. I normally try [...]

Have I read it recently? Sort of
This book has one of the best (in my opinion, of course) alternate world premises I’ve read so far. It’s quite clever and unique. On the flip side, this does have one characteristic which may put off a lot of you… I’m going to present the [...]

Have I read it recently? No
Okay, I have to admit something before going into this review (which is going to be short). Namely, this book is what I consider “fluff”. It’s a light, fun read, little to no substance, nothing particularly notable or special about it other than I like it and it’s [...]

Have I read it recently? Yes
Ladies and gentlemen, may I give you my first steampunk offering in this series of reviews… Lord Kelvin’s Machine! I’m sorry to say that Amazon doesn’t seem to be selling the paperback copy new, which is why I uncharacteristically linked to the hardcover.
This is one of my more obscure [...]
