Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
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.

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...

I... what? Wasn't it just December? I feel like this happens every year. There's a build up towards the end, toward Christmas, the end of the year, all the celebrations and BOOM!—suddenly it's April. Okay, so it's not that bad, or at least it wasn't this time it is only February after all. But still,... Continue Reading →
Well... where do I start? First of all, I love Ken Follett. My first book of his was Pillars Of The Earth, and it didn’t take me many pages before I fell in love. I was hooked.
