About Me
Hi! I'm Karl, an educator, web developer and a bit of a nerd. You can find a bit more about my background here, and my hobbies and interests elsewhere on the website.
Projects and Interests
I start lots of things, and have ideas in all sorts of directions, some of which I document in the pages here. Under the "Projects" menu you will find things I am currently working on; under "Interests" are things I have finished or information that I have collected
Reviews
I read a lot of books, watch films and TV shows and play the odd computer game. I like to make a few notes on all the media I consume so I thought it might be nice to share these with you. You may not agree with my assessments, but that is fine!

Book Reading Statistics
I began keeping notes of the books I had read in late January 2022. The annual total figures are subject to change if I find and enter more of my notes from previous years. Abandoned books tend to end up in the short review sections so are not included here. I'm now pretty conscientious about entering reviews into the website so recent figures are more reliable.
I written full reviews of 45 books in 2024 and I have reviewed 49 so far in 2025.
Annual Total Full Book Reviews

|---|---|---|---|

(2023 looks a bit low as I still have backlog of notes to write up)
Artwork Sampler
And here’s some of my attempts at creating art, more under the “Interests => Artwork” menu entry above.
