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 …
So, I'm going over to Japan in a few days. Now whilst I've been busy preparing for my holiday it was always my intention to have my February reviews up before I left. However, there has been a death in the family that has sapped both my time, and my will to be productive, so …
Saga By Brian K. Vaughn (Writer) and Fiona Staples (Illustrator) Published: 2012 – ongoing. I have just become caught up on this series. I started reading Saga last year, but didn’t want to talk about it until I was up-to-date. Well, now I’ve just finished Vol.9 and I’m not sure if I’m okay. This series …
First month of the year and I'm making an okay start with my goal of reading 100 books. So far, I'm only 3 books behind schedule. That's okay for now though. I got to catch up on some of my magazine back issues and graphic novel series, as well as read a few books I've …
I have read a lot in 2018. I completed my Goodreads challenge of 60 books, started reading graphic novels more regularly, diversified my short fiction reading, and covered this year’s Hugo Awards, even though I dropped the ball a bit when it came to the Retro Hugos. I have had so much fun with my …
The Demolished Man By Alfred Bester (Narrated Gerard Doyle) Published December 2017 (Tantor Audio) Originally Published March 1953 Score: 9/10 I tried to read The Demolished Man many years ago, before I truly got into science fiction. I heard a summery of the plot somewhere else and thought it sounded interesting, but didn’t go out …
As promised, I read a lot this month. A lot of that was short fiction, which I find harder to talk about than novels, but I did come across so many interesting stories. I also listened to the very first Hugo Award winner, Alfred Bester’s The Demolished Man this month, but this post was getting …
