A New Blog and a New First Post

So, I'm back. Hello again :o) Did you miss me? I missed you guys (yep, even you) so thought there was nothing for it but to come back and have another crack at blogging again. I love talking about genre fiction, can't stop in fact (reports that I do this in my sleep are as yet unconfirmed) so it was pretty much inevitable really :o)

This (hopefully) won't be another 'Graeme's Fantasy Book Review' though. For a start, life is very busy right now (job hunting, being a Dad, being a 'Dad to be' again and more job hunting) so the days of a review a day probably won't be back any time soon. I don't even know if I'll be able to manage a post a day right now! We'll see how it goes but I'm aiming for a schedule that's a little more relaxed (ok, a lot more relaxed) than last time round. I don't want to find myself in a position again where I'm not enjoying myself.

The other thing is that there won't be so many new releases being mulled over here. That's not to say I won't be covering them but I'm more interested in getting reacquainted with what's already on my shelves . There's some cool looking stuff there (although I would say that wouldn't I...) so we'll see how that goes as well.

And... that's about it :o) I'll be adding little bits and pieces to the blog over the next few days (a blogroll and so on) to make it look more like a blog. I'm not too sure about the template either but anyway... It's good to be back and see you all again :o)

  6. Hey! Hooray!

    So happy to have you back, man. Really looking forward to this Black Company reread too. If not the books, I'll be reading all your blog posts on Tor.com for damn definite.

    First slight swear on the new site? :)

  8. Cheers guys :o) I'm hoping this blog will be around for at least as long as the last one.

    Niall - Actually... Yes :o) You win at polite swearing ;o)

    Neth - I still read everything you post, no matter how infrequent. I appreciate that it can be tough though.

  10. You couldn't stay back, could you? :)
    I know exactly what you mean, job, dad, family and blog. There is not much free time ;) I struggled with the posts too, but I stopped worrying about it. As long as I am enjoying it I don't mind how often I am able to post. And there are indeed so many books on my bookshelves that I started to drastically filter the new releases.
    It is good to have you back, Graeme :)
