No, your eyes do not deceive you. This is indeed a new blog post – 18 months after the last one. A lot has changed in the past year; some of which I'll probably talk about on here at some point, but one of the big things to happen was that I moved house – …

Well, here we are. We’ve reached February and already my plan to blog at least once a month in 2021 has not happened. I had every intention of writing something, but between finding the energy, a busy work schedule, and my MacBook deciding to break again, it became more of a ‘best-laid plans’ scenario... There …

There’s a reason this blog post is so late, and that is purely because I thought I’d posted it already. (File that under “oopsie”). February, as it turned out though, was a very busy month in general so I didn’t get to read as often as I wanted – but I guess two books are …
This time we’re looking at The Morpheus Factor – the final tie-in novel from Ashley McConnell. It was first published in February 2001 and is set during season 3. Blurb On the world classified by the Stargate Project as P4V-837, the SG-1 team encounter an environment hospitable to humans, and the Kayeechi, a race of seemingly …
I don’t think I’m alone in saying this… but January seemed to last forever (certainly longer than its five calendar weeks, anyway). I guess it’s because the run-up to Christmas is such a busy time and the general feeling of festivity that’s in the air is nice and comforting, so by the time you get …
