Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
Stop This Game is an honest, heartfelt and brutal book about living with bipolar disorder. Jaka Tomc is a Solvenian author and poet. I first heard about him on Twitter, years ago, and I've read a few of his books before. What I never knew was that he has struggled with bipolar disorder for nearly... Continue Reading →
The most successful kickstarter ever delivers again! I mostly knew Sanderson by rumor when I pledged to his insanely successful kickstarter. I had read the first Skyward book and was working on the first in the Mistborn series, and figured getting four mysterious ebooks over the course of a year sounded like a very fun...

The second book in the world's most successful kickstarter is here and it's a lot of fun! The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England is maybe exactly what it sounds like, if you think it sounds like a story about someone who finds themselves in Medieval England, possibly without completely comprehension of why or...

Thrillers, horror, mysteries, crime and action, whatever it is, I love reading and watching things that can make my heart beat faster.

One of the fathers of modern science fiction - and a definite must-read! When I started this I was worried I would find it much the same way I found Dune - boring and overlong - but this was the complete opposite. Every part of this novel made me want to keep on reading, keep... Continue Reading →
Never, ever, read this book. Here's a fun fact: we don't have required reading in Norway (at least we didn't in the 90's where I grew up). That's not to say I didn't have to read things, I just didn't have to read loads of old books from some arbitrary, outdated list. But I'm trying... Continue Reading →
