Happy Bookish New Year 2014

Happy New Year Everyone!

There has been very little time for reading, designing and blogging but that will change this year. I think I’m going to start by looking at the best 10 books of 2013…(I’m sure I could add a lot more to this list) […]

November is Sci-Fi Month!

As you have probably guessed over my previous tweets of things bookishly sci-fi, I’m part of a feature month hosted by Rinn Reads. Like Rinn I have been planning these posts as well as various guest posts and reviews to help throughout November.

So why not join in on the conversation at #RRSciFiMonth or tweet at @SciFiMonth. So let’s kick off Sci-Fi Month in style with a little intro post by yours truly and I’ll look […]
