ABChanges

I’ve added a new page to my beautiful web log: Book Reviews. As you might be able to deduce from the cryptic title, it brings together links to all the book reviews I’ve posted in the last two years.
There are fifty authors represented in the list (more, actually, taking co-authorship into account), from Adichie (as [...]

Blog-sucker

Visiting George R R Martin’s newly refurbished blog today I found a link to this piece on Robin Hobb’s website - on the subject of the pernicious evil of blogging.

All time top ten

No, not a list of my favourite songs or books or what have you. WordPress, wonderful website that it is, has just added a new option to the Dashboard. On your stats page you can now look at complete listings of post hits and referrers. What follows is a list of my top ten most [...]

Blogging news

Yesterday I got 69 views, which makes it the most popular day of the past month. Also, also yesterday, someone navigated their way here searching for ‘roland rat peadophile’. I didn’t notice any such proclivity when I met him aged circa 12 - but then I wasn’t alone with him.

Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist

George R R Martin mentioned this blog (not this blog as in the one you’re reading, but this blog as in the one you’re reading about) on his blog recently, and I think I’ve heard about it from somewhere else as well, but it was only a few minutes ago that I got round to [...]

On Wednesday, my daily views got up to a mighty 93. Today I realised that these daily figures might be less impressive than they appear: over the last fifteen days there have been 201 attempts at spamming my blog. If visits by spammers are counted in the blog stats it slashes the number of genuine [...]
