Happy Birthday to Blog
Happy Birthday Waterstone's Liverpool One Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Club Blog
Happy Birthday to Blog"
Exactly 1 year ago today I posted the first entry on this blog. Since then we've grown and grown, receiving a record 704 views last month from people other than me. As the map on the right shows, these views have come mainly from the UK but also from distant lands (the figures are based only on the stats recorded by the blog for the last three months, not the whole year).Other birthday stats: The most visited post on the blog is "Sister Book Club Forming: Coffee and Comics" with 76 views, closely followed by the summary of our discussion of The City and The City by China Miéville. The Sister Book Club post probably did so well thanks to some Twitter publicity from Graphic Novel author (and author of 800 Years of Haunted Liverpool), John Reppion. The blog also benefited from a recent piece of good PR by Science Fiction critic and publisher Cheryl Morgan (no relation) who picked us out for praise on her site.
So here's to a successful first year and the hope of many more.
Upwards and Onwards!

Edit: Apparently the blog shares its birthday with Liverpool-born horror supremo Clive Barker himself. Let's hope he hasn't seen the score we gave to Hellbound Heart....
Hi Glyn. Wow a year - how time flies. Could you send me your email address please as I made notes at Monday's meeting. Hope the gig was good! :)
ReplyDeleteI know, doesn't seem all that long ago. The gig was amazing (all the more for being free) I facebooked a few photos if you're interested: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=185283&id=284105067&l=365bb87a37

Happy Birthday a year old, not necessarilly a year wiser should bring a cake the next meeting to celebrate
ReplyDeleteJust finished reading Forever War- Forever Free, nice pleasant read, the humans wanting away from man and tureans was a natural situation giving background of war and strife, to find they do not fit in anymore, there nothing like being a cuckoo in the nest and the conflict of those children who where born into the situation. The reveal of the ohmi was bordering on a comedy act, or the character from fantastic four who can not think of the name of, who can change state at will. A different conclusion, the universe as strands on a table was good and the way that the strands could be changed cliched enough to be pleasing. as a point not worked out if all them billions would fit into a 3. mile cave but good image of it
