Hello, and welcome to my Monthly Roundup post for October 2023. It’s going to be a slightly shorter post than usual, as (for reasons I’ll touch on a little bit later) I posted much less in October than I normally do, and I just don’t have quite as much to talk about compared to previous months. Nevertheless, I’ll do the usual recap on everything I did post in October, then include a quick update on how things went this month (both generally, and in terms of reading specifically), before finishing off with a few thoughts on SFF-related goings on over the month. So read on, and please do let me know if you’ve got any questions or comments.

Hello, and thanks for checking out September 2023’s Monthly Roundup post. If you haven’t read one of these roundups before, here’s how it’s going to go – first up, I’ve got a quick recap on everything I posted in September (which was mostly reviews, this month), so check that out to see if you missed anything. After that, I’ll talk a bit about my September as a whole, give a quick reading update, then finish off with a roundup of the coolest SFF-related news that I spotted over the last few weeks, and a couple of final recommendations. So read on, and please do let me know if you’ve got any questions or comments.

Hello and welcome to August 2023’s Monthly Roundup post here on Track of Words. We’re two thirds of the way through the year – isn’t that crazy?! I had a relatively quiet August, much like last month, although it’s been a little different to usual as I’ve focused a lot of my reading on the nominations for the Best Newcomer Award at the British Fantasy Awards, for which I’m a member of the jury. That’s been an interesting experience in its own right, and later on I’ll talk a little bit (in general terms – I can’t be too specific) about what it’s been like, after my usual recap of the month’s posts. So read on to see if there’s anything you’ve missed over the last few weeks.

Hello and welcome to my Track of Words Monthly Roundup post for July 2023, back to its normal place at the end of the month (rather than several days into the next month, like last time). After a hectic June, my July has been considerably quieter – I’ve maintained my usual rhythm of posting on ToW but I’ve slowed down a little with reading, and really found myself pulling back from spending time online (by which I mean on social media). I don’t mind that sort of ebb and flow though, and I’m sure things will even out in time. As usual, for this post I’ve got a recap of the month’s new (and updated) articles and reviews, followed by some updates about what I’ve been up to, and anything interesting that’s caught my eye.
