    Resolutions: 2011 catch-up and 2012 promises

    Gosh, it doesn’t seem like any time at all since I was last posting some resolutions! 2011 has just flown by.  It saw me turn 25 (bleugh) and LitAddictedBrit turn 1 (yey).  It also saw me start using Twitter (@LitAddictedBrit)…

    2011 in Books: A Survey

    So that was Christmas!  I hope you all had a wonderful time and there was plenty of whatever it is that makes the holidays special for you 🙂 Coming out of the food induced stupor and back into the world…

    In My Mailbox (and Inbox) #1

    Until recently, my book-buying habits have been fairly sporadic; I’d go weeks, sometimes months, without buying anything and would then binge terribly.  It was fairly simply achieved by ignoring Kobo/Waterstones/Amazon emails in my inbox and denying their shiny offers and…

    September and October in Books (or, an excuse for me to indulge in spreadsheet/list fun…)

    I had meant to put up an ‘It’s Monday! What Are You Reading’ post but it’s somehow got to be Wednesday and, well, I didn’t!  So, instead, I’ve been having a nosy at the terribly geeky spreadsheet I keep on…

    My ‘Genre Nemesis’: Poetry

    I have been meaning to post about ‘Dracula’ for the past few days but haven’t because I can’t work out how to sum up the book that is the great-great-great grandfather of the whole vampire extravaganza – I loved it…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? #2

    Another wet and gloomy Monday brightened by Book Journey‘s ‘It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?‘!  As you may well have noticed if you’ve stopped by recently, this past week I participated in the Frightful Fall Read-A-Thon.  It was a great…

    Booking Through Thursday: Carrying a book? Hiding it behind a newspaper?

    Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme that buoys bloggers through the end of the week by letting them chat happily about general bookish goodness! I spotted this week’s question and, because it reminded me of something that I surprised…

    Changes afoot in British book retail

    When the UK arm of Borders went into administration, there was a lot of speculation about whether that was representative of people’s changing attitudes to books and reading in general, whether the problems were entirely apart from reading and literature…

    Farewell to Weekly Geeks

    I had intended to post a review this evening of Odalisque by Fiona McIntosh but it seems that I’m having one of those evenings where I just don’t like anything that I’m writing! Perhaps that’s because I’m tired (and being…

    So you think you’re a Sci-Fi/Fantasy geek…?

    Back before I admitted I was a nerd, I used to lurk around bookshops and do this no doubt tremendously obvious skulk near the Fantasy section, pretending not to look but trying to check out my favourites. I know, quite…
