Keiran’s Top Books of 2024

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 18:00:33 +0000

If I’m honest, I’ve been a bit “lazy” this year, managing only to find 6 notable reads that I was able to really say anything on. Quite frankly I don’t care and that’s the point of these articles, to just talk about some books I read in the year. However, I did want to note that maybe this year’s article was going to be a bit shorter than the multi-thousand-word, 10-page dissertation on what I’…

Keiran’s Top Books of 2023

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 17:00:49 +0000

You can ram your Spare and other pointless stories from people who don’t need to be in the public consciousness. As someone who makes a point of reading for enjoyment first and foremost, as well as just delving so deep into my extensive library, I didn’t start 2023 with excitement for anything. The Brothers Hawthorne wouldn’t release until August, Pete McTighe’s “Kerblam” and Keith Temple’s…

Keiran’s Reads of 2022

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 18:00:42 +0000

Warning: Some of the books in this article are for mature audiences, reader discretion is advised. Surprisingly, last year’s article about the books I read (and current reads) somehow sparked a bit of interest. To me, it was a clown talking about some tattoos on a dead tree. Alternately, it was a collection of unseen numbers, letters, and symbols that made my Star Trek pad of adventure reflect…

Keiran’s Reads of 2021

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 14:00:10 +0000

You may have heard through the grapevine that I’ve spent more time this year reading. To some, that is like finding out there is a breeze outside their window, it leaves them nonplussed about the whole affair. I’ve already done the article (I assume) on setting an objective and hitting it. However, I wanted to also talk more specifically about the books that I either plodded through like the mud…

Dyslexia: Setting A Goal & Achieving It

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 18:00:57 +0000

This year, I set myself a goal. If it wasn’t apparent enough through reviews and editorials, the title here today should tell you that it was to do with reading/books. To some, it was a goal that pales in comparison to their favorite Bookstagramer or BookTuber, and I get that. I look at those insane people with their 200-400 book targets and think there just isn’t enough time on the planet for…

Amy Shira Teitel – Fighting For Space (Book) Review

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +0000

I’m a month behind schedule to release this review for two reasons. The first involves UPS UK being as professional and knowledgeable at delivering as I am at building working rockets in the game Kerbal Space Program. After a month-long delay for the delivery of an early copy, that wasn’t the biggest issue. Instead, the second issue was getting my thoughts together to adequately do what a reviewer…

F*ck Yeah, Video Games: By Daniel Hardcastle – Review

Keiran McEwen — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 20:00:29 +0000

(Warning: Under our site’s rules we do not allow profanity or swearing of any kind. That makes the review of a book with a very strong expletive in the title hard to write about. The article title is the only reference to this expletive in the name of this Sunday Times Bestselling book. I will instead use the subtitle.) Now that I’ve got the required warning out of the way, I can talk about how…
