So, here we go with the excuses! Wintercraft: Was sent to me by the publisher for review. (I’ve already read this one and I shall be posting my thoughts nearer the release date.) Larklight: I’ve loved Reeves Hungry City Chronicles and Here Lies Arthur, so I thought try this series as well. (via Bookmooch) Shipbreaker: [...]

Two weeks worth… Two weeks worth I tell you! (at least that is my excuse…)     Freaks by Annette Curtis Klause: I’ve read a couple of other books by Klause, in the past, and found them okay, but nothing special, but Carl talked about this one in his round of his favourite books of [...]

*ahem* Books Bought   Grl2Grl by Julie Anne Peters: It’s totally Amanda’s fault that I’m reading Julie Anne Peters stuff, so the fact that I picked this one up after spotting in my local bookshop this week. TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow: I’d seen this one, mentioned in passing on a couple of blog posts, but [...]

Anybody who caught my Sunday Salon post will already know about these coming in to the house, I’m on the 3rd one already and loving them!  Scott Pilgrim Series: So these would be Chris’ fault! He posted about them last year and when I spotted them in my local bookshop they just had to come [...]

  Three books in to the house this week, which slightly takes me back over where my TBR pile was at the start of my book buying ban But then there is still over a month to go so I may get it lower! Lex Trent versus The Gods by Alex Bell: I was sent [...]

Being relatively well behaved again with only new book coming into the house this week again. And I think I even have a perfect excuse for this not breaking my book-buying ban rules! You see, I pre-ordered this a couple of months ago (it’s the paperback edition) and forgot about it. and then the other [...]

Only one book came in to my house this week, and it’s the last one to arrive from my Christmas/Birthday gift cards. As someone couldn’t sing the praise of this one any louder if she tried I just knew I had to have it!! and so a Bad Bloggers point goes to Amanda! Bad Bloggers: [...]

So, other than my Christmas Day booty, I’ve not done one of these for a while, as I’ve been trying to be a good boy don’tcha know! *ahem* Anyways moving on… What with a birthday as well, I obviously acquired more than two books over the festive period, so here they are:      Chronicle [...]

Only the one book this week, but what a book! As you may spotted on twitter this week when I tweeted about it, the very lovely @stormfilled managed to snag me a copy of Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick when he visited to give a talk recently. Not only that, but she got it signed too! [...]

Everyone seems to have read this one and loved it, but the review which first tempted me was Nymeth’s. Can’t tell you how excited I am to finally have a copy of this one. Bad Blogger’s point to Nymeth then! This one spent a long time hanging around the featured shelves and tables at my [...]
