Two of the sites I have an interest in, Accessites and Revish have undergone some changes recently. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m one of the site graders for Accessites.

I was viciously, much against my better judgement forced to go out on the beer last night, as one of my friends (actually two of my friends) had had a baby on Friday night. I’d not seen him for a while as he’d been caught by the impending-fatherhood “better-not-have-a-drink-in-case-baby-comes” theory for quite some time now, […]

I came across this meme on Stephen Lang’s site (yes, it does appear I only get memes from people called Steve) who had found the From the Stacks Reading Challenge on the Overdue Books bookblog.

Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.

I’m presuming you all know what I mean by “follow that link”. That’s where you start on a site you definitely intended to be on, and follow a link (in this case, a commenter on someone’s blog) to read about their site. Then, when you’re on their site, you notice that they are linking to […]

Do you read books? Do you have opinions on the books you read? Do you want to share those opinions with the rest of the world? Can you actually write a legible and coherent book review that is a bit more useful than “it’s mint!”?

Okay, after me starting off the favourite songs meme and partaking in Steve’s favourite films meme and recently reading about Dan’s glass book dream review eaters site I thought maybe it was time to talk about my favourite books.
