Yes we are looking back at another book haul. It is my birthday on the 12th and I think it is interesting to look back and see what I have read from the books I got last year. I did the same thing last year only with more birthday book hauls from the past. I… Continue reading Did I Read Last Years Birthday Book Haul?
Way back in 2019 I looked at the books I hauled and if I had read them/kept the books over the previous years by taking a few months here and there. Last year I looked back at the birthday hauls I had in previous years to see how well I did with those. But I… Continue reading Do I Read the Books I Haul | Taking a Look at 2019

Having read more of the… Continue reading Hugo Awards 2021 Finalists | What I Want to Read Before the Winners Are Announced

This coming Saturday it is Halloween. And with social activities being at an all time low for covid-19 (as it should be) we’re going to be doing things at home.
