Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
This was in danger of being my least favorite Reacher book - if not worse - but it turns out it's the best! First things first - I love Lee Child and Jack Reacher, and I'm beyond hooked now. I picked up my first book a few years ago, liked it well enough, but really... Continue Reading →
This is so fun! Why don’t I read more teenage books? I’d all started at my local shopping mall – there’s a bookshelf there where people can leave behind books they’re finished with and browse for something new – and it’s all free! (Obviously). I walked past an afternoon and saw two titles that immediately... Continue Reading →
Well, this was… interesting. Let me just start with saying that I’m a massive fan of Justin Cronin. His The Passage and the rest of that trilogy is large responsible for me finding back to my love of reading after not touching a single lick of fiction while I went to university. I spent so...

Perhaps the best and most famous book to be written on Svalbard. Christiane Ritter was an Austrian painter and writer, who famously overwintered on Gråhuken on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, at 79 degrees North with her husband and a Norwegian trapper named Karl. She documented her stay there, and that's what this book is - a year's... Continue Reading →
This made me feel like a teenager again! Even though I don't recall ever having heard the name Anthony Horowitz before, I recognized the title Point Blanc when I walked past the free-secondhand-books shelf in my local shopping mall, so I figured... why not? So I picked up this, as well as Skeleton Key by... Continue Reading →
A-Tier Fantasy! Even if the third book never comes out these two books will live with me forever. Patrick Rothfuss surprised me with The Name Of The Wind. I didn't know what to expect—I'd heard great things of course, so I knew I was even in for a treat, but I also knew a lot... Continue Reading →
Whoa... what a huge disappointment. I... I don't know what happened. I devoured Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. After reading that I couldn't wait to get started on Hannibal, which ended up being just as good as, if not better than the... Continue Reading →
Whoa, where do I even start? Probably one of the best fantasy books... ever? I've heard the name Patrick Rothfuss been thrown around for a while now. I have no idea how long exactly, not since I was very young, but definitely for years, and there was always two things that were mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
Hannibal keeps getting better and better! Not far from becoming one of my favorite villains! I recently picked up Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. Both of those books were incredible - not that I doubted that, having been a fan of...

Incredibly sad news this weekend - Dan Simmons, author of one of the most incredible science fiction book ever, has passed. Hyperion is one of those books that I felt like I heard about all my life, but never really knew anything about. If you've followed this blog for a while, you've probably seen me... Continue Reading →
