Many of us modern readers have ditched the old-fashioned bound books in favor of the digitalized ones. For a long time the feel, heft and smell of the traditional book was enjoyable. I still have some that inhabit a spot on the bookshelf I just couldn’t part with. They are the old friends of mine…

Book Update – Alien Sphere
Things are looking great for this year’s book challenge. So far I nearly at the half way point to my goal I find it interesting statistically I’ve actually read as much content wise as last year if you break it down statistically by pages read. Part of this is due to making an effort this…
Book Updates
Well here we are at the end of yet another week with only a few changes and more books than I probably can hope to read in my digital library. I’m okay with that even if it means too many choices later on when it comes to choosing books to read during the rest of the…
Nostalgia
I’m sure all readers have some books that have become old friends or hold memories attached to them in some form or another. Earlier this year I was looking at my bookshelf here in the room and couldn’t help smiling at the fact quite a few of the titles I’ve read more than once. There…

Any progress is good
I had hoped to finish two books this week. In a round about way you might say that I did so purely based on percentages. So okay like many other kindle readers maybe pages have in some ways become a non-factor when you break it down in simple terms. Instead of finishing off The Settlers…
One down – one to go
Well as I expected my first book of the year has been sent the read category. Genesis Plague episode one was a fun read that even though it was short the way that Best kept the action moving forward it doesn’t feel like you’re getting ripped off story wise. I will most likely invest in…
This weeks selections
As usual I have more than one book going at a time. Honestly it’s kind of hard to say if that habit is good or not, but it does keep things a little more interesting. These two books really couldn’t be more different from each other outside of one technical detail. They are both what…
