I absolutely sucked at reading in 2025. I read more than I reviewed (and I'm still catching up on reviews now) since I don't review everything I read, especially if it's in my own writing area(s). I think GR has me down for 15 books and I probably read about 25-30. Which is probably fine but still feel I neglected a hobby I love.

Come on folks, this is blatantly a scam. It is not me, don't friend them or follow them. Sheesh.

Wait. What. And now GR has decided I'm on a reading challenge. WHY? No! I did not ask for this!

Although I do kind of like the fact that the little box in the top right that used to be a profoundly unwanted display of your latest release like GR was double-daring you creep self-harmingly through reviews ... has been replaced by an algorithm-generated Amazon advert, in my case for FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING. I feel this is a real and significant improvement.

What the shitting hell has happened to GR? I could barely use it before. Now I have no chance.

It makes me ridiculously happy to see people reading Skin Lane bobbing up my timeline.

So GR is basically your drunk friend at a Party. They're all like "gimme a minute, I'm just going to touch up" and you're like "no, honestly, you look fine" but they won't listen and then they come out of the bathroom with clown make-up. And you're like, uh, maybe not. And they're like "okay, lemme try again" and you're like "please don't." And then they're like ta-da! And you're like maybe I need to get you home.

So in a fit of complete insanity at the start of the year I embarked on Reading Project 2015, which came in two parts.

Part I involved making sure the random books I had shelved on GR had some kind of comment attached to them - God knows why I felt this was necessary but I wanted to.

Part II was, err, actually bothering to use GR.

I have achieved Part I.

Oooh. Forgot to post this anywhere useful.

For them as do Facebook-type stuff, Santino Hassell and I have started a group over there. Come join us for games and conversation and news and buddyreads and other stuff that I'm sure will be awesome:

I have just learned how to switch editions on Goodreads and now I am pathetically excited that I make the books on my virtual shelves look like the actual books I own.

I keep feeling I am getting closer to finishing at least Part One of Reading Project 2015 (which is sort out my GR shelves).

And then realising I'm nowhere near.

I hereby embark upon Reading Project 2015.

I'm going to read my goddamn TBR.

Yes. All of it.

And I'm going to write at least a paragraph of review for each one.

Charting one man's lonely and terrifying journey to the centre of his TBR.

I'm also going to try and update GR. Do something about books shelved with no commentary.

This I do solemnly swear.

Let me try again. Prosperity comes out tomorrow. Yay!

There's a flashgroup over on Fb that will run the length of the blog tour. I'll be chatting about the book, answering questions, talking about steampunk in general, posting giveaways and exclusive excerpts. There's even audio.

I'd love if you fancied joining me.

Sand and Ruin and Gold came out today. I hope you enjoy it :)

But if you're uncertain about it, or just want a thing to read, I wrote another story set in the same world, that I'm serialising over the course of the blog tour. It's called Draconitas and the first part is up over here.

Here is a post over at Wonkomance about a thing that matters to me. It's called 'Someday I will be Kissed in the Pouring Rain' and it's about why romance, and queer romance, is important.

I ... I think ... I've read a book that doesn't seem to be on GR.

Do I get a prize?

Or have I accidentally caused the end of the universe?

Oh wow. General updates. That's a thing one can do.

One can update generally.

Well, here is a thing I have experimentally made:

Come and have virtual tea, and talk to me.

Or, well, don't. But do. It'll be fun. Maybe.

Alexis Hall is reading The Dream Hunter
"He would never in his own lifetime find a woman to match her, and tonight the indefinable restless loneliness that drove him – always drove him to the empty, brutal places of the earth, as if he could find there whatever piece of his soul he had been missing – seemed sharper than it had seemed in a long while.”

The hero is 4 billion years old. That is really NOT within the half your age plus seven rule.

I'm now 70% of the way through this thanks to a bus journey. Soon, soon, I will have read a grown up book.
