When Lucky Meas seizes the Tide Child from Joron Twiner, she turns his understanding of the world on its head. The Tide Child is a ship of the dead – but what Meas has planned will see them die heroes or the worst sort of traitors…
Until Dave mentioned it on Twitter (thanks Dave), I hadn’t really thought about it being the end of a decade. Yes, this month my head has been stuck under a work rock, then full of head cold, then full of Christmas. I’ll try to get my head around epochs at some point, but for now let’s look back at December…
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. Today, it’s time to look back at the best of the year that just was…
Enjoying a damp, grey English Christmas wrapped up in a woolly jumper, it’s hard to believe that this time last year I was in one of the hottest places on Earth. I never did finish writing up our Australian adventure (and this, folks, is why I shouldn’t do trip reports), but I thought I’d squeeze in a last look back through the mist.
2019 has been a long old year, with a heap of challenges: a new job, a demanding client, lots of work travel, and political drama all left me wanting to bury my head in a book, but with limited mental energy for my blog. But before I close the door on 2019, I wanted to celebrate what I did achieve here at There’s Always Room For One More. Because in spite of all that, it’s been a pretty epic year.
Today, I’m honoured to present one of the biggest-selling authors in science fiction: Peter F Hamilton, a household name within the genre for over 20 years. Peter F Hamilton is known for writing space opera as epic in scope as each book is in size – most recently, the Salvation trilogy. In between edits for the final volume of Salvation, he was kind enough to sit down for a chat over a virtual cuppa…
Tanegawa’s World is under the crushing control of TransRifts Inc. You work for them in the mines, or you live outside the law. But TransRifts has secrets they’ll kill to keep – and a witchy gang of vengeful outlaws may be the miners’ only defence…
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. This week, it’s time to take a look at our winter TBR! Top Ten? HA. As. If.
It’s the most magical time of the year: time for the annual The Dark is Rising readathon. If you’ve never encountered Susan Cooper’s classic, it’s not too late – join us from December 20th for a whirlwind of myth and magic told in lyrical prose that will leave you with goosebumps.
Jodie Bond is the fantasy heroine of her own life: a farm girl from a family of Welsh gin makers who performs as a burlesque artist and has written a darkly intriguing debut novel, The Vagabond King. To celebrate its launch, I’m delighted to help you get to know her a bit better.
Better late than never, I’m tackling the final week of The Sparrow read-along. When the wheels come off on Rakhat, they take everyone out. At last we know exactly what happened – but how do we feel about it?
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. We’ve got a freebie this week, so I’m looking back at books I’ve read but not reviewed this year…
Rook has a choice: volunteer for hazardous duty or stay on the chain gang. It’s no choice at all. But deep in Open Waters, something ancient and hungry is stirring. If Rook can’t stop it, death is coming for everyone.
Welcome to final SciFiMonth Mission Status for this year. What a month it’s been: over 330 blog posts plus a treasure trove of tweets, pictures and comments! Thank you all so much for making it our most epic SciFiMonth yet.
I don’t like to do things by halves: November was SciFiMonth here on the blog, the final run down to a massive project launch at work, and saw family visiting from overseas at home. It’s been tricky to juggle and I’m finishing the month overtired and unwell – but hey, there are only 24 reading days until Christmas 😉
