Review: Harrow the Ninth – Tamsyn Muir
Title: Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir Published August 2020 (Tor.com) Score: 7/10 I was looking forward to this book so much, and I came away from it so happy. But, I also wanted to give up on it at one point and will probably never read it again. With all the complex feelings Harrow …
My 2020 in Books
Time to look at what I read in 2020, and make some plans for 2021. Let's start with my book bingo challenge. I got three bingos and filled all but five tiles. I enjoyed this challenge a lot, and it led me to seek out a range of books I might not have picked up …
Favourite 2020 Books So Far
I've read a lot this year. As of writing, I am five books away from completing my Goodreads 80 book reading challenge and I've filled most of my bingo card. I still have a tiny bit of time left on these challenges, so I'll hold off talking about them for now. In this post, I'm …
Review: Slan – A. E. van Vogt

Ayreon Transitus

Review: City – Clifford D. Simak
+ Title: City by Clifford D. Simak Published 1952 Score: 9/10 I was telling my fiancé about this book, and then I realised I sounded crazy, which seemed like a good indicator that I should summerise and review it. The book City is a fix-up novel connecting a series of stories about the decline of …
Ayreon Live
At the end of 2018, I had a choice to make. I could be responsible and keep saving my money, or I could go to Holland to see a metal concert. I chose to be responsible and have regretted it ever since. This week, I watched the DVD of the concert in question - Ayreon's Electric …
