999 blog posts? Have I really written that many?! Apparently I have, so this one, the 1000th, is a celebratory post in which I’m going to highlight some of the content that makes my blog unique.
Poems. I don’t pretend to be a great poet, but I have been inspired to write verse about subjects such as AI authors, tomatoes, 2020 and button-less cardigans.
Stories. My trademark short story is weird, a bit sinister, sometimes funny, with a twist. Check out The Good Clown, Dinosaur Party, Oak William and She Dreams of Diggers. They are all exclusive to this blog.
Critical reviews of hyped books, because I rarely like what everyone else seems to. Some examples are Hamnet, The Appeal, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and Normal People.
Obscure book choices. My reading taste has been described as eclectic and I do like variety. Here are reviews of The Rainbow Goblins, Temples of Convenience and Chambers of Delight, A Pink Front Door and The Land Where Lemons Grow.
Film / book comparisons. These are somewhat of an obsession and I publish one every month. Some of the many ‘film of the book’ posts include The Shining, Bridget Jones’s Diary, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Pinocchio.
Gig reviews. Every so often, I like to attend a concert and try my hand at music journalism. Here are reviews of Crowded House, Gary Numan Acoustic, Franz Ferdinand and Turin Brakes.
Fun posts when I’ve seemingly had nothing else to do but put together something amusing. Check out my fictional holidays from hell, writing tips with a little help from 90s pop music, obscure children’s TV comedies and the 10 types of book reviewer.
Thoughtful posts on bookish topics, such as the definition of classic books, whether a film adaptation can be better than the book, what literary fiction is and why I re-read books.
There is of course a lot more to explore and you can find other posts on my blog by selecting a category or using the search box (to the right of the screen, or at the bottom, depending on your screen size), or navigating the pages for my writing, reading and miscellaneous, for a selection of posts.
Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, liked, commented or subscribed to the blog over the years.

Congratulations, well done! I had to check my count, when I saw your post. Apparently, I am at 187 posts, so who knows if I’ll ever reach 1000. I love the variety on your blog! 🙂
Thank you! I never thought I would get as far and can’t quite believe it, but the stats don’t lie.
