After almost finishing Private series by Patterson (only have Berlin left) got my hands on The Second Life of Amy Archer by RS Pateman. So far so good. Sooo good.

I've spent most of today redesigning my book and theatre review blog which is the incentive I needed to start posting much more frequently to it than I have been in the past. What do you guys think?

Link: http://pagetostagereviews.blogspot.co.uk

I will just need to change the URL now so it'll be my own domain name, without the BlogSpot addition, hopefully I get around to doing this in the next week. :)

Thanks! If you mean the font in the main body I'm actually quite fond (hee!) of that ^_^

Finally finished reading 'A People's Tragedy' by Orlando Figes - an extraordinary book on the Russian revolution that gives you a dazzlingly comprehensive view of the historic event. Figes strips away the myth and misconceptions of the 1917 Bolshevik takeover and focuses on the Russian people, their struggles in the midst of a political hailstorm, and their failures to adequately challenge the tyranny of a new autocracy. Thoroughly recommended reading for anyone who has the time!

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.
