  1. So I have finished my 41st book of the year and have to pick what to read next: for me, this really is a no brainier! I have read and reread this book, although not necessarily this particular edition, at least once every year since the early to mid-1980s! The five books that make up The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (I know, I know) make up my absolute favourite book of all time!

  4. #BookBingo Update! Continued April Daniels's Nemesis series with 'Sovereign' for my Own Voices square. I Love this series so much. Great characters, and great superhero fight scenes.

    And don't forget: Trans Rights are human rights!

  5. I have just realised that I finished book number 33 on the train from Norwich, but didn’t make a post here to show what my next book of the year would be, this was due to an overhead power line failure in the Colchester area

  8. #BookThreads #booksky 💙📚 #bookstodon Sailing Towards Her Sunset - My #bookreview for "The Last Voyage of Mrs. Henry Parker" by Joanna Nell, on my #bookblog here. #BeatTheBacklist #readingchallenge I forget who told me about this charming novel, but thank you, whoever you were! Just lovely.

  9. #BookBingo Update! Read 'The Long Habit of Living' by Joe Haldeman as my 'Written in the 80s' book. My only other Haldeman read was 'The Forever War' so reading this was disappointing. This story just never clicked for me, though it has some cool bits.

  10. After finishing book number 27 for the year, and continuing my commitment to reread all of the James Bond novels, this becomes my next challenge.

    By definition, if you have a favourite book in a series, then you also have to have a least favourite book. This is quite possibly the title holder of my least favourite Bond novel, and the sooner I get it out of the way, the sooner I can get started on some of Gardner’s better contributions to the series.

  24. After finishing my 23rd book of the year, my quest to reread all of the James Bond novels - and buy the new editions to replace my tatty old secondhand copies - continues with John Gardner’s second contribution to the series.

  31. I love reading challenges that prompt you to expand your horizons but let you select your own books.

    I've seen around the world style challenges before, but hesitated to join since I almost exclusively read SF&F and the books other members add to the prompts are a great way to discover new authors.

    Lately I've found the: Speculative Fiction World Tour challenge on The StoryGraph. It has very good prompts and is open ended so no stress inducing deadline.

    Sadly there are only 9 participants so far.

    I hope others will also find this challenge interesting and join us on a world tour of the speculative fiction genre.

  35. So I am now sixteen books into the year and my next read will be a new edition of a book I already own. I have read all of the James Bond novels, but all of my continuation novels by John Gardner and Raymond Benson are tatty, second hand copies, so I’m buying them new.
