Just a brief post today, to announce my participation in a really fun event, as well as outlining some other upcoming plans! I'm very happy to announce that I'll be taking part in Wyrd and Wonder for the first time. The event has been running for a little while now, celebrating all things fantasy, be they books, movies, games or anything else, with numerous bloggers getting involved to show their love for this expansive genre. I decided to go big or go home with my first post for this, reading and reviewing an entire trilogy, and I'm happy to say I don't regret that decision at all. My review will be coming on May the 4th. And no, it's nothing to do with Star Wars. If I get chance, I will try to get some more purely fantasy posts uploaded as part of the event, but it depends if I can fit them into my schedule. Yes, I have a schedule, don't look so surprised.
In other news, I am working on a few features, as opposed to reviews. This doesn't mean there will be fewer reviews, for anyone who enjoys reading those, in fact it should mean that there are even more posts on here. My aim has always been to upload at least one review a week, and I have now settled on Thursday as the day to publish these, as that's the day a lot of the books come out here in the UK. This shouldn't change now, as I'm quite into the rhythm of things. However, I also plan to add other kinds of posts into the mix. These will publish on Mondays, but will not be every week. I don't believe in posting just for the sake of it, so will only be publishing them when I feel I have something new, fun, or interesting to say. I'm thinking they might be fortnightly, but as they are likely to be slightly more work than reviews, this might change. The eagle eyed among you will have already realised that I'm planing on posting my Wyrd and Wonder associated review on a Monday. You can go ahead and consider that a feature, because there should be another review for an upcoming title on Thursday the 7th of May too. The sheer amount of reading I've been doing does mean that, as an exception to the schedule I have laid out above, there will be no review this Thursday. What there will be, though, is a preview. This features five books that I can't wait for the release of. I had a lot of fun writing it, and hopefully you'll come back to read it and enjoy it. Maybe it'll put some books on your radar too! Other than that, there are just a couple of new tweaks to the site - I have added my Twitter feed and the newsletter sign up form under the "Subscribe" tab at the top of the page. I've mentioned the newsletter before, but this is just another reminder, as it should be lots of fun. See you soon!
