The Year That Was

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow December 24, 2020

I wasn't going to do a review piece this year because... *gestures around*. However upon reviewing my year I realised there were some really good things that happened and I wanted to focus on them. A little bit of good amongst the bad. I've mentioned before how bad coffee is…

Don't Make Me Tap The Sign...

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow October 02, 2020

Ever since I wrote my 'Do No Harm' post late last year, I've seen a few examples of where this model could be used in GLAMs around the word. I'm not the best at self promotion but occasionally I will see twitter conversations around this topic and drop a link…

Once More, With Feeling

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow July 05, 2020

I haven’t blogged in a while due to an overwhelming lack of motivation, despite having far more free time due to work from home privileges. In last three months I managed to write just over 1,000 words of a new story that I’m interested in exploring, but…

A Year In Read-View 2019 (Books)

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow January 01, 2020

Eighteen books this year. A pretty good effort, along with the truck load of comics I managed to get through as well. Still trying to prioritise women writers over men and still having no regrets. For years I've been wanting to try and read poetry and at the end of…

An Annotated Bibliography of the Inside of My Head

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow December 10, 2019

I saw this post by Alex Bayley and thought, why not. So in no particular order (actually it ended up in the order I first read them), here are some books that I just can't stop thinking about. You know, those ones where every now and then a line or…

Do No Harm

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow November 20, 2019

We Don't Want Your Donation

Edward Shaddow
by Edward Shaddow February 27, 2019

GLAM Blog Club's theme this month is Donation which instantly sent shivers up my spine thinking about all the terrible books people bring into the (public) library to donate. As Hugh's example shows, it's often the things we don't put into our collections that make a library. In my own…
