Currently Reading – Advent by James Treadwell
Advent by James Treadwell I bought it on the basis of a recommendation heard on Radio 4. It sounded rather good. I struggled for a fortnight with it until, somewhere about halfway, I simply couldn’t find the energy to keep going. Sorry James (I saw you click on my blog), the writing was fine but the swapping […]

Currently Reading – Horns of Power: Manifestations of the Horned God (compilation)
Horns of Power: Manifestations of the Horned God Grabbed onto by my tablet’s Kindle app because my good buddy Cat Treadwell noticed it was a one-day-only freebie on Amazon. Nevertheless, there’re a few good articles in there, and it draws interesting attention to the fact that so many who speak of the horned god actually […]

Currently Reading – All For Poor Jack by Steve Tilston

Currently Reading… Snuff
“Snuff” by Terry Pratchett. Link Actually, I’m about a third in already… that’s the thing about PTerry’s stuff – it grabs you and doesn’t let go. *** I’m hearing a lot of interesting background chatter on Facebook along the lines of general unhappiness with the new Timeline, but also what might turn out to be […]

Currently Reading… Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs (Amazon) *** I’m finding so little time to read books, my ‘to-read’ book pile is towering over me. Just for my own satisfaction, I’ll note in here when I pick up a new book. Don’t expect reviews though – at my age by the time I’ve got to the end I’ve forgotten how […]
