I’ve been really busy over the last threeish weeks and have been consolidating a lot of different online projects and blogs into this blog (I’ve also had a bit of a break from blogging to coincide with my partners holiday).

I got caught on Galley Beggar Press when I got a copy of Wrestliana to review. I was blown away, and this was one of the first small indie presses I had read and the fact that they had t he freedom to publish such wonders as Wrestliana, Ducks, and Francis Plug fascinated me. They …
This is a list of the current Bluemoose Books publication catalogue that can be found on their site. Bluemoose Books published one of my favourite reads ever, Leonard and Hungry Paul, and everything else I’ve read from them has been great, SLOOT is in my August 2020 TBR and I’m really looking forward to it. …
