Saga By Brian K. Vaughn (Writer) and Fiona Staples (Illustrator) Published: 2012 – ongoing. I have just become caught up on this series. I started reading Saga last year, but didn’t want to talk about it until I was up-to-date. Well, now I’ve just finished Vol.9 and I’m not sure if I’m okay. This series …

January Reviews
First month of the year and I'm making an okay start with my goal of reading 100 books. So far, I'm only 3 books behind schedule. That's okay for now though. I got to catch up on some of my magazine back issues and graphic novel series, as well as read a few books I've …
Future Science Fiction Stories and The Original Science Fiction Stories
I was in my local second-hand bookshop the other day, and as soon as I walked in the door I saw a pile of science fiction magazines. Most were Analog issues from around five years ago, but there were also three magazines that were much, much older. I am now the proud owner of Future …

Hello 2019
So it’s now 2019. The year of Akira, Bladerunner, The Running Man, The Island, and probably a few other stories. From now on I’m going to have a little helper with all my posts. Meet Knight. He likes sleeping on the keyboard and chasing stuff on the screen. From now on, I’m blaming him for …
My 2018 in Books
I have read a lot in 2018. I completed my Goodreads challenge of 60 books, started reading graphic novels more regularly, diversified my short fiction reading, and covered this year’s Hugo Awards, even though I dropped the ball a bit when it came to the Retro Hugos. I have had so much fun with my …

I heard a summery of the plot somewhere else and thought it sounded interesting, but didn’t go out …
November 2018 Reviews
As promised, I read a lot this month. A lot of that was short fiction, which I find harder to talk about than novels, but I did come across so many interesting stories. I also listened to the very first Hugo Award winner, Alfred Bester’s The Demolished Man this month, but this post was getting …
October 2018 Reviews
I was thinking of doing NaNoWriMo this year, but a combination of busy start to November, no new ideas, and getting back into my long-neglected novel have shot that. To make up for that, I’m going to try and read as many books as I can this month so I can give my readers a …
September Reviews
Alright, a bit of a September/October page, since I wanted to talk about Rogue Protocol and Exit Strategy together. And, also because I’ve been pre-occupied. Yeah, I admit it, I failed at a monthly review thing after just one month. I’ve read a lot of short fiction, but today I’m going to talk about the …
Can’t Stop Buying Magazines
For the past nine years, I have had a subscription to a little magazine called Analog Science Fiction and Fact. This year I wanted to read short fiction from a lot of different places. More Uncanny, more Asimov’s, more from Tor.com. I also backed two other magazines on Kickstarter: horror magazine The Dark, and the return of …
