Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories

Book review for the Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett, written by Trey Stone
Harlan Coben has been highly recommended to me more than once - so when I learned he had a new book coming out, just around the time I needed something new to read, I jumped at the chance. I wasn't disappointed! The plot? A guy is in prison for murdering his young son. He's been... Continue Reading →
My first Nesbø book - and what a place to start! As a Norwegian person who enjoys reading and writes books himself, I should probably be ashamed to admit that this is the first time I've read Nesbø. At the same time, I've been so aware of him and his works for so long -... Continue Reading →

I read Skyward first and I recently finished the first installment in the Mistborn series. Both great fantasy/science fiction books that I'd recommend to any... Continue Reading →
I had to look it up and apparently it's been nine years ago that a colleague introduced me to my favorite podcast ever: No Such Thing As A Fish. If you're not familiar It's a podcast made by the people behind the British quiz show QI and it's basically just a show about fact. Each... Continue Reading →
It's almost as perfect as everyone says it is. Brandon Sanderson is kind of a mythical author to me, one of those that if you read just a little bit of fantasy here and there and discuss a book now and then, his name will eventually pop up. I don't remember when I first heard... Continue Reading →
Welcome to 2023, friends! It's time for writing, reading, and doing reviews, so here's my first of the year. We went traveling during the holidays and I knew I needed something on my phone to read on the flight. This practically jumped at me as soon as I logged on to browse for books and...
