The Dark Side of the Sun – Terry Pratchett

Posted on 30 September 2009. Filed under: Book Reviews | Tags: , , , |

I’m not quite certain what to say about this book. It’s not part of his Discworld series, in fact, not part of any series I know of. I can’t quite decide whether it’s a dig at science fiction stories or a salute to them. What I do know is that there are [...]

Australian Book List

Posted on 29 September 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized |

Ok, another booklist, but only because I have to iron tonight and so I don’t have time to do anything properly. Therefore I’m not even giving you the whole list, you can download the pdf just as well as I can.
This list has been published by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission, for those readers not [...]

Finally, as promised

Posted on 28 September 2009. Filed under: Downtime |

Finally, as promised my website is down. If you decide to visit www.suzs-space.com you will find a very generic home page with nothing useful to do. This is where I wanted to be a month ago so at least it’s progress. I’m still having trouble getting into the back end to actually [...]

Books I’ve started reading

Posted on 24 September 2009. Filed under: reading | Tags: , |

I don’t claim this post to be exciting it’s more of an explanation as to why I haven’t been reviewing many books recently. I haven’t managed to complete a book for about a month and it’s not just because I’m busy but also due to the books I’ve been starting. Anyway, here we [...]

Website challenges

Posted on 23 September 2009. Filed under: Downtime |

Ok, this is going to be the boring post and I don’t blame people if you don’t read it just remember it’s here in case you try to buy books on Suz’s Space and the site doesn’t show.
I hinted at some things happening a while back and now I need to give some more details. [...]

Anne McCaffrey

Posted on 20 September 2009. Filed under: Authors, Collections | Tags: , , |

I’m going to admit that I’m not actually collecting Anne McCaffrey. Truly I’m not, but somehow her books just keep finding their way onto my bookshelves. I’ve been reading her works for a very long time. I must have half of her Dragonriders of Pern books as well as a couple of [...]

Nullus Anxietas

Posted on 17 September 2009. Filed under: Conventions I've attended | Tags: , , , |

There’s always something to talk about in the book world and sometimes it’s just a matter of making a decision. Today was no exception. In my yearly planner I have a note to tell me I missed Agatha Christie’s birthday yesterday (it does help if I actually look at the yearly planner), she [...]

Gerald Durrell

Posted on 13 September 2009. Filed under: Authors, Book Reviews | Tags: , , |

Gerald Durrell is one of the authors I remember with fondness from my childhood. The Overloaded Ark was on the shelf and I must have read it at a fairly young age. It had such charm that when I started selling books I made certain to pick up every copy of his works [...]

A Library without books

Posted on 12 September 2009. Filed under: Rant and Rave Time | Tags: , |

The future is here whether like it or not. So many science fiction books have envisioned a library without books and I could never quite come around to the idea. Well, if you go to Ashburnham in New England, USA you’ll see the results. They’re getting rid of all of their books [...]
