Love your books, break their spines
When I am not blogging about books I am a professional digital designer and marketer. One of the reasons why I am too busy to blog sometimes is that I am occupied helping companies grow their online presence or creating things for them.

After books my second biggest passion is probably music. I am a self confessed 80s addict, especially all things post-punk. I love nothing more than combining my two favourite things by curling up with a book with my headphones blocking out the rest of the world.

This is probably going to ruffle a LOT feathers but....Comic book YA novels WTF I have noticed a new trend in bookshops and in the book world that really bothers me: Novels about comic book characters. Normally I would write these off as those crappy novel versions of recent films with horrific movie covers that… Continue reading Discussion: Comic Book YA Novels
Cannibalism, killer corsets and birds that eat eyes, welcome to the fun real world of fairy tales. If you don't want some of your Disney princesses ruined (not many of them because I could write several posts on princesses alone) maybe look away now. Here is a short list of some of my favourite fairy… Continue reading Fairy Tales with Horrible Endings
