The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley is due out on May 14th. Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the advance copy. I was fascinated by the description, and I wasn’t disappointed. The Ministry of Time by Kaliane
Two Scifi Reviews | Common Ground + Xeelee Vengeance
Common Ground and other stories by Mackey Chandler, and Xeelee Vengeance, by Stephen Baxter. Both selected as Books of the Month sometime this year in the Goodreads Space Opera Group. Both good reads. One short and funny, one long and
Reading Challenges 2022 – half-year check-in
Check-in for half-year – where did those six months go? Well, I’ve read a lot of books, although I slowed down in June, too much else going on, and not enough sitting in the garden in my lounger, guarding the

My first quarter update is only slightly late! The SpaceTime Reading challenge is for reading addicts who want to try space scifi and timetravel genres for the first time, as well as hardened scifi addicts. I keep my list on
Book Review | Space Opera @catvalente #spacetimereads
Space Opera. A book title, not necessarily a genre, although Space Opera is definitely space opera. I popped it on my list as I read the blurb when it came out. Then I saw it in my library… and brought

#spacetimereads | Reading Challenge Update – half-year
Another Reading Challenge Update. They seem to come around so fast these days! I’m struggling with a not-quite-working website host at present. They have got the server back online, but not working fully, and at present I can’t post new
Reading Challenge Catch-up #spacetimereads and #AtoZChallenge Road Trip

Book Review | The Iron Tactician #AtoZChallenge2021

Boxing Day Book Review | Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
Thief of Time is no 26 in the Discworld series, and last of five in a subset called Death. Cheerful! Unlike most of my friends (and probably most Discworld readers), I have a random approach to the order I read

Book Review | Jaydium by Deborah Wheeler
Jaydium makes it two scifi books in a row, at least as far as reviews goes. This was a Storybundle offering from last summer. I don’t think I’ve had a dud one yet from Story bundle, although of course, some
SpaceTime Reading Challenge | Spring update #spacetimereads
Spring update time for my SpaceTime Reading Challenge. We’ve been going for three months, so you should be one quarter of the way towards your challenge target. Yes. One quarter. When I realised this first update was due, I had
