The Eloquent Page has stopped publishing book reviews as of April 2024

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Paul. The written word is my passion in life so back in July 2010 I launched The Eloquent Page. I’m addicted to all things genre related. Horror will always be my favourite but science fiction, fantasy, crime, thrillers and historical fiction are great too. Basically I’m prepared to give just about anything a go! As long as publishers continue to publish books I’ll continue to read and review. Hopefully you’ll enjoy my nonsensical waffling 🙂

What made you decide to start blogging?

I’ve always been an avid reader and my OH said I was making the place look untidy and needed a hobby. I sort of spiralled from there.

How long have you been blogging for?

13 years

What has been the highlight of your blogging time?

All the books I’ve had the opportunity to read.

Which other book bloggers do you admire?

Gingernuts of Horror, Raven Crime Reads

Best event you’ve been to?

Fantasy Con has been fun in the past. Not managed to get to an event for a few years now sadly.

What do you want your blog to be in the future?

Same as it is now. If one person reads one of my reviews and it helps them find their new favourite book thats all I care about. The Eloquent Page is the comfortable, slow lane of book enabling.

To Die in June by Alan Parks

How big is your physical TBR?

Currently only one physical book. 14 ebooks though 🙂

If you were told that you could only read one more book ever what would it be?

The Age of Misrule by Mark Chadbourn

Is there an author where you have to get all their books?

Claire North and Neil Gaiman are the first couple that immediately spring to mind.

Are there books you own multiple editions of?

Yes, too many to mention

What’s your reading preference, physical, ebook, audio?

For pleasure physical, for reviewing ebook are more convenient

What book are you looking forward to in the near future?

Quint by Robert Lautner

What has been your most popular blog post?

https://www.theeloquentpage.co.uk/2014/11/24/letters-between-gentlemen-by-professor-elemental-and-nimue-brown/ Letters Between Gentlemen by Professor Elemental and Nimue Brown. Also the most fun post I’ve written.

Do you have a favourite book quote, if so what?
