Posted on August 15, 2014 by nicdempsey

Happy Friday. It’s been a busy week, so much to do and so little time to do it and that’s just work, I’m so very glad to get to the end of this week and into the arms of a … Continue reading →

Posted on October 31, 2013 by nicdempsey

The American Way of Eating – Tracie McMillan I’m not sure that enjoy is a word I’d use given the subject matter, but I read this over a weekend which given the subject matter showed how it held my interest. … Continue reading →

What I’ve Read – March 2013

Posted on March 28, 2013 by nicdempsey

How did we get to March already? I’ve struggled with reading this month, I started to re-read Paul Kendall Murray’s Richard the Third (it’s been about 20 years since I read it) but got too sick to concentrate so defaulted … Continue reading →

Posted on January 31, 2013 by nicdempsey

What I’ve Read – January 2012

Posted on February 1, 2012 by nicdempsey

January was no time to be reading serious stuff, it was the month that I did most of my reading on my phone. Reading on the phone is much easier on a crowded train in the morning. I didn’t really … Continue reading →

Books read in September

Posted on October 13, 2011 by nicdempsey

54. Starcrossed – Elizabeth Bunce I need to stop reading Bookshelves of Doom. Generally, if Lelia liked it, I will and it will make my bank manager cry and Amazon happy. Loved this, loved Digger and how she changes over … Continue reading →

What I’ve Read – July 2011

Posted on August 3, 2011 by nicdempsey

Got my reading bug back this month, largely by not trying and just reading what I fancied. It has to be said that none of it was great literature and didn’t require too much brain space. I’ve read over 50 … Continue reading →

What I’ve Read: May 2011

Posted on June 2, 2011 by nicdempsey

My reading slowed right down in May due, I think, to a number of things. Not commuting anymore, that’s 2 hours a day I’m not reading when normally I would be. I’m training for the 10k, so am leaping out … Continue reading →
