I'm not only a book nerd, I'm also a bit of a gadget nerd. I'm always so interested in what Apple or Google have to announce yet that might be the new latest thing in mobile technology. This extends to my current phone, the iPhone 14 Pro and this extends to always wanting to download the latest apps and play with all of the latest innovations and make sure I'm one of the first to be on a digital bandwagon.

It's the end of 2022! This year I have read an awful lot of books (60 to be exact) and read some absolute bangers. I've read some books that I know will be added to my top books of all time.

Finding your next read can often be quite a long process. I know the next book I read I often leave up to somebody else or my social media. I give them a choice of all of the books I fancy reading next and ask which I should begin with - I genuinely agree with the masses. However, sometimes there are other factors that come into it - such as whether it is available for me to listen to from my library or whether the book is discounted anywhere. But wait, what if there was a website that could offer you different ways to choose which next book to read or which next book you should buy? Well, I did some searching on the web for some of the best…

I love fantasy - I don't think that's breaking news for anybody reading this blog if you've been here before. However, I do have a bit of a problem with starting fantasy series' and then possibly not finishing them. This isn't because I don't want to, it's more due to the fact that I pick up another new fantasy series before I start any sequels. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Who doesn't love a good mystery thriller? Well, what even is a "mystery thriller"? I have "mystery" and "thriller" down as two separate categories on my blog as sometimes there are other genres which are "thrillers" and others that are also "mystery". When you combine "mystery" and "thriller," I think we all have an idea of a book we can think of.

He's back once again using the content from others' tweets as content for his blog posts! Well, you seemed to like the other posts where my Twitter followers recommended content so why not keep posting them? Often on Twitter, I will tweet out a question to the Twitter masses in hopes that I'll get some book recommendations and then now and then these questions will end up getting a heck of a lot of responses.
