We’re all going on a summer holiday…
By the time anyone reads this, I will be in the wilds of south east England. I may be posting a bit or I may not – it’s largely dependent on how exhausted I am by the insane schedule I’ve … Continue reading

Hugos addendum
Comics! How could I have forgotten the graphic novels/comics section? I’m determined to read everything this category as well. Two of them appear to be single volumes so they shouldn’t be too taxing to read. I’ve read the first three … Continue reading

Time to catch up…again. Starting with Hugo Awards!
