and somewhere in there should be Let The Right One In but I didn't record it in my list at the time. Time off sick, LoveFilm, tv Vampire season, and a box set of odd Werner Herzog films which were not terribly accessible. And that completes 101 Things # whichever it was, to watch all of my unwatched DVDs (as at November when I made the list).

Books incoming 2 (1 purchase, 1 to proofread)

The Weight of Numbers and Conditionally Human (first story) were probably the most powerful books I read.

And lo, Sir Howard Vincent led all the rest! Many thanks again for your help with proofreading it.

One to proofread - you proofread?

Occasionally and not professionally, best at typo/scanno spotting.

I've got novels, one SF in particular that I'm planning to epublish. And I'd appreciate comments too.

I don't have a ton of spare time at the moment (I usually pick up some proffreading when on hol) but happy to give it a read if time is not an issue :-) But I just read a Stephen Donaldson and only spotted 39 clenches when the book had 53, so maybe I'm not all that...

Actually no spare time at the moment suits me.

It's about to go through the grinder at Uni, where I'm doing an MA in Writing. No point proof reading something that might change radically (or even slightly here and there), so can I tentatively book you for when that's over. My deadline is Wed 2nd May to hand in, I may fiddle a little after that and then get impatient to ePublish as soon as possible after that.

And 39 clenches is over 73%, which is a Distinction.
