Reading in 2023

For a change of pace, I thought I’d post something a little different to the norm. With this blog being somewhat of an erratic review site since the pandemic, I want to make an effort at getting back to the original premise; a celebration of all things bookish, focusing on my love of reading and writing about books that excite me and some those that leave a lasting impression – including the ‘bad’ ones. By ‘bad’ I mean those that don’t jell with me, each book I’ve read, including the DNF’s generally have something good about them, but not all the books I read work for me.

 
So what does that actually mean? What was the original premise of this blog site?
 

• Provide a gateway to connect with authors and avid readers,

• Promote independent publishers and authors,

• Provide a mechanism to wax lyrical about my favourite reads and general bookish going-on’s in the world,

• Lists! I love a good book related list so expect a bunch of those!

• Hype posts for upcoming reads/books soon to be published

• Book reviews; General reviews, humour themed horror paperback reviews, and of course, my Pick up a Pulp series

In my head as I write this, the term ‘best laid plans…’ is on repeat. We’ll see how 2023 pans out, but for now, I’m optimistic of sticking to a semi regular schedule and posting more than just book reviews.
 
Happy reading.
