Bookshelf Reorganization

 



Hi Folks 

Haven't much to update you on although I have reorganized bookshelf 2 and 3.

Bookshelf 2 now has the new trilogy of John Gwynne books on.

Bookshelf 3 is starting to get full too - eek within a year will need a 4th bookshelf!

Hope everyone is safe and will chat on the December update up in a few days.

Birthday Book Haul

 



Hi Folks

Just a quick post to show my Birthday Book Haul from the GF.

I can't wait to get into them although it may be a while.  I still have John Gwynnes first series to read.  The Faithful and the Fallen series which I've only heard good things about and as John writes similar to David Gemmell then I'm in for a treat. 

So far this is what I'll  be reading for the next three to five months.

Finish "Last Argument of Kings" by Joe Abercrombie.

Read 2 Doctor Who books in December to get me up to 10 books read this year.

In January read another Doctor Who book.  The final one in the 10 book set.

Then read all 4 books in David Gemmell's "Rigante" series. 

Then read "Best Served Cold" by Joe Abercrombie.

Next is a Sci-fi book or Doctor Who book as a fantasy break.

Then hope to start John Gwynnes "The Faithful and the Fallen" series with "Malice" in May and get most read by July for Edge-lit.

So what's your reading plans people?

November 2020 - Update - Birthday/Lockdown/Nanowrimo and more ..

 


Hi Peeps


Well as you see from the photos above we are now going from a bright multi-coloured Autumn to a bleak Lockdown mid-winter.  Not very good especially when my birthday is in November but it is what it is!

Just hope there is some normality and toilet rolls by Xmas.

Writing Update - Sadly I've not been doing any writing over the last month as I've been concentrating all my efforts into an online Business Admin Course which took longer than I thought it would but have now just finished. Hooray.

This means I can get back to my short story "The Cubbyhole", which I will finish this month and may go back to my novel.  I have decided not to do Nanowrimo (November National Writing Month), as I've not prepped anything and instead of starting yet another novel I want to finish the ones I've started. 


Reading Update - I've got behind on my reading over the last two months, as I'm only on my 8th book - Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie.  I was hoping to be on my 11th and read 12 books this year.  One per month.

As it is once I've finished LAOK by Joe Abercrombie this month I aim to read 2 Doctor Who books which are small quick reads and get my reading number to 10.

So that this year for the first time I'll have hit double figures with 10 books.  I don't know how some people can read that or near that in a month - crazy.

Then in 2021 I aim to double my reading figure and read 20 books.  Wish me luck!


Well chat soon - cheerio x take care.
