Website Problems

In April this year, the website experienced a sudden jump in bandwidth usage. It went from the normal 2gb per month to over 5gb in a couple of hours, which caused the site to go offline. My host gave me some extra bandwidth and two days later I was offline again. Upon the end of [...]

Book Review: The Cat’s Eye Shell

The Cat’s Eye Shell by Kate Forsyth My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is book four in a series of six. Luka and Emilia are desperate to find the fourth charm, which will help save their families from the gallows. This book was rather slower than the others. Not as much happened, not as [...]

eBook Review: The Invitation

The Books of Magic #1: The Invitation by Carla Jablonski My rating: 3 of 5 stars This story was apparently a novelised version of a former comic written by Neil Gaiman. I’ve never read (or even heard of) the comic so whether it does it justice or not, I have no idea. I’ve also read [...]

eBook Review: Hollowmen

Hollowmen by Amanda Hocking My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is book 2 in The Hollows series. There weren’t as many typos or, maybe, I just accepted they were there and didn’t look for them as much.

eBook Review: Hollowlands

Hollowland by Amanda Hocking My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Firstly, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever read a book with so many typos in it. Virtually every page had a word or some sort of punctuation missing. The book needs a really good edit because at present it reads like a first draft, which [...]

A Stroke in Life

Life is short. This is something we are told regularly, but – in truth – I believe we don’t take much notice of this saying. When I was a kid, a year seemed like a lifetime! It took forever to go from the first day of term to the last, let alone getting to the [...]

eBook Review: The Time Machine

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells My rating: 4 of 5 stars Of course I’ve seen the movies, but this is the first time I’ve read the book. The first scene was hard to get through, very technical and complicated, but hugely warranted as it gave the story substance and credibility. Not that I understood [.
