Book Review: Stop This Game by Jaka Tomc
Stop This Game is an honest, heartfelt and brutal book about living with bipolar disorder. Jaka Tomc is a Solvenian author and poet.

Book Review: Yumi and The Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
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...

Book Review: Mage Breaker – New Release from Sean R. Frazier

Book Review: I Will Find You by Harlan Coben
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.

Book Review: The Snowman by Jo Nesbø
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 →
Book Review: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson
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...

Book Review: One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve by M. Shaw
What an exquisitely strange type of horror. Shaw has created something delightfully strange and haunting with this novella - as it starts off with two halves of a corpse waking up together in a morgue. They don't know why or how, or what has happened to them - all they know is that they've only... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Tress Of The Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson
Not only the most successful kickstarter ever - also the best Sanderson book I've ever read. Okay - first things first, I've only read three and that's including this one. 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 →
