Out of the busy season and into a relatively calmer month. I feel like I read less this month than usual, perhaps because I was playing Soul Hackers…
Reading Log: November 2022
Almost Christmas time again aaaa. November has been a quieter month on the whole, so for once I feel like I’ve read more steadily than usual. Let’s get…
Reading Log: April 2022
I have no idea where four months of the year have gone already, although Easter did eat my life for like two weeks because of work being busy…
Reading Log: October 2022
After a reasonably quiet September, things got a bit nuts in October between work, flu jab, covid jab and then going to SLA. But hopefully, I’ve managed to…

Final reading log of 2022! This time I can add in some fun stats and charts to see how my backlog and reading have been going this year.…

Listening/reading log #28 (February 2022)
Time for the end-of-month post a bit late again. But what a fucking month it was. The invasion of Ukraine isn’t something I’ve commented on here or elsewhere…
Listening/reading log #27 (January 2022)
Well, that wasn’t the start to the new year I wanted. But work piled on as usual. Fuck all this talk about “work/life balance” and de-stressing. As far…
Reading Log: December 2020
It’s time for the final reading log of the year, where I also work out how much time I’ve wasted away reading books instead of doing anything else!
Reading Log: September 2021
