Yup, I'm doing this Pokémon/Hugo Review mesh up again. Let's go. This year my ability to relate everything back to Pokémon was really tested, but I came through. This is my first theme team on the gen 8 games, but no new Pokémon appeared in this team. If you are wondering what the hell I'm …

I got my second bingo on my card. It helped that two of these books were nominated for Hugos this year, so I had an added incentive to finish this line off quick. The Novelette square overlaps with my previous bingo, so it has already been reviewed. I copypasta'd the review from my last update, …
I collect Funko Pops. I've always been a big collector so no surprise there. A few of them have gotten into some of the photos I've shared, and I'd be happy to show off more if anyone is interested. Last year, as I finished off Martha Wells's Murderbot Diaries novellas, I thought to myself how …
Technically this is my second update on my book bingo, but this is the first time I got a bingo on my card. I think this line got done first just because I never ended up reading any novels on it. I filled this line with two graphic novels, two novelettes, a novella and a …
I've completed two challenges on my Book Bingo card, and thought that makes a good excuse for some reviews. What was interesting about both these books is that they've been on my To Read list for a while, but I didn't anticipate that they'd tick off challenges until I started. Get ready for reviews of …
I haven’t really been posting much. A few technical issues with my blog started the slowdown, but they weren’t the main issue. Whilst I like writing the reviews, it makes reading feel like a job. Not only that, but writing reviews cut into the time I had to write stories. Being consistent with my writing …

Voting for this year’s Hugo’s have closed and on the 18th August we'll know this year’s winners. Or the 19th if you're in my time zone. I have binged the short stories and novelettes recently, and decided now would be a good time to finally talk about the shorter fiction. First I’m going to touch …

Ever wonder what this year’s Hugo nominees would look like if they were Pokémon? Of course not, but I do, because Pokémon is life. Yup, it’s that time again; my Hugo Nominee 2019 Pokemon theme team is ready. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, I explained everything two years ago, right …

This is going to be a short one, since a lot of the books I read last month are for the Hugo Awards and I’ll talk about them later. Also, this will probably be my last monthly review post. I don’t think this format is working; it’s encouraging me to review almost everything I read, …
Well, I've been busy, but I still read a lot of awesome books. With two months in one go, this is going to be a long post, so strap in and let's get right into it. Eifelheim By Michael Flynn Narrated by Anthony Heard Published January 2006 (Blackstone Audio) Score: 8/10 Book Bingo Tiles: Title …
