Man vs Bookshelf: Firestarter
Posted on
It’s been a good few weeks since I sat down and wrote the first draft of a blog at my desk at home, rather than on my lunch break at work.… Read the rest

Man vs Bookshelf: The Dead Zone
Posted on
This will be the section of the blog where I say something about my life before I dive into talking about how I’m not going to talk about Stephen King and then the review.… Read the rest
Man vs Bookshelf: The Stand
Posted on
When are you reading this? When was it released?
11th of May, I think is the plan.
Well, it was finished on Friday the 19th of April, meaning it took six days to read.… Read the rest
Man vs Bookshelf: The Shining
Posted on
I’m not sure I’ve ever finished writing one blog and transitioned straight into the next before.
It’s too organised. It smacks of professionalism, and that isn’t me.
Yet here I am, having just tapped the last few words on my Salem’s Lot blog minutes ago, starting my The Shining review.… Read the rest
Man vs Bookshelf: Salem’s Lot
Posted on
This is going to be a tough one to write.

Weird, huh?
Well timed, too.
I remember being a kid and going to my grandma’s bridge club (Golden Gate was their favourite), telling them I didn’t want to get married (girls are icky), but I did want kids.… Read the rest

Transport yourself back to the blogs in this series written in the first three months of last year, if you can stomach, and you will find me moaning about how my productivity has dropped off a cliff.… Read the rest
Man vs Bookshelf: Doctor Who
Posted on
I’ve been looking back at my Man vs Bookshelf spreadsheet, tracking down the last time I wrote a blog about Doctor Who.
It was the scriptbook for Doctor Who season one and was the 51st book I read for this challenge back in April 2018.… Read the rest
