I’ve switched to using trakt.tv to track my films as it also allows you to track tv shows. And so I can reveal that in January I watched 16 films but only two of those were in the cinema, and there is non question, my favourite was Stan and Ollie. Also Aquaman was shite. The […]

January 2019 Mount TBR update
The latest additions : Hunger makes the wolf by Alex Wells – rec’d by KJ Charles, although checking my list I’ve already added this one. Way back 2017 Liz Burke’s review had me adding it. I think I’ll have to bump it up the list. Jacob’s room is full of books by Susan Hill. – […]
Guestpost – My little red reviewer
I’m delighted to host Andrea Johnson for her guestpost on “I blog to share the joy”. Andrea blogs at https://littleredreviewer.wordpress.com and is currently running a kickstarter for a print book of The Best of Little Red Reviewer.

Happy New Year
That’s another year over and done with. And in many ways I’m thinking people are delighted to see the back of 2018 as it certainly wasn’t great for a lot of people. But there was good news as well, and it helps to remember that is isn’t all doom and gloom. There have been two […]
November round up
Well, I’ve been terrible bad at the blogging in November. But the one book I reviewed was a great book, so I’d highly recommend you give Us against you a try, but only if you’ve read Beartown first. Filmwise I didn’t review a single film, but I did watch some. I continued with my Rockathon […]
How To Kill Your Tech Industry
by Marie Hicks In World War II, Britain invented the electronic computer. By the 1970s, its computing industry had collapsed—thanks to a labor shortage produced by sexism.
Meet Shuri
This little kitten was wandering on the road; her eyes sealed shut and unable to see. So we picked her up and called into the house that it looked like she came from. And she probably did, two other adult cats hanging around and loads of cat food containers lying around. But no person. And […]

April 2018 round-up
In April I read 7 books, 5 by women and 2 by men. Two non-fiction. My book of the month has to be The cat who walked a thousand miles by Kij Johnson. It was a reread, and really a short story, but still. It is a lovely little story and everytime I read it […]
Consider Phlebas
This news, that Amazon Studios to Bring Iain M. Banks’s Culture to the Small Screen, could be interesting, I read a fair few Banks books in the past. Never got through all the Culture ones, but I did enjoy them and I’m sure that a reread would be well worth it.
Panther: First Look (No Spoilers)
Some movies want to make you act antisocially or, I dunno, drive really aggressively or beat somebody up. Black Panther makes you want to go home and clean up your neighborhood. Organize. Paint something. It makes you want to retire old, stupid grudges and remember our common causes. Christopher James Priest – 30th Jan 2018 […]
Condemned to remember
We are all possible victims We are all possible perpetrators. Possible bystanders.
