Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
As soon as I was made aware of the video games series based on these books I knew I had to read play them and as soon as I'd played them I wanted to read the books. Well, after reading book 1, Metro 2033, which I review here, I couldn't wait to read this second... Continue Reading →
"You're really spending a lot of time with that writing?" I've wanted to write about this for a while now. It's been on my mind for ages and though it usually never bothers me at all, these little comments keep gnawing at me. So I'm warning you, this might end up being a Rant©, but... Continue Reading →
Book 3 of 4 - and things are shaping up to be awesome! Honestly, book 1 didn't have me hoping for much, at least not to begin with. Like I wrote in my review, it was slow, confusing and there were far too many names. When I read this third book, I couldn't finish it... Continue Reading →
Due to waiting for feedback on a novel, doing revisions and editing on others, and in general trying to hold off on starting too many big new projects (because I need to also publish them at some point), I've written a lot of short stories this year. In fact, in the last 3 months I've... Continue Reading →

I probably haven't read as many How To books on writing as I should, but I've read a few and I came across this one as a recommendation for further reading from another one. They talked very highly of it and of Dwight Swain, so I figured "Why the hell not?" First thing's first: This... Continue Reading →
This is slightly embarrassing to admit, but I'd never heard of James Herbert until I came across this book - at the same time, this is some of the most terrifying horror I've ever read. I love horror, but more often than not, it fails to scare me. Sure, it's creepy, and there's a dark... Continue Reading →
This is the second book in the series and boy did it just get interesting. It picks up pretty much exactly where book one left off (book review here!), and without saying too much, let me just say that armies are gathering, wars are starting, and our protagonists are in deep trouble. Oh, and not... Continue Reading →
It's been three days since my wife left - and I'm just about starting to get comfortable with it again. For those of you who don't know, my wife and I live in different places. Or, well, I live in a different place. For work. She lives back home, (where we both technically live), and... Continue Reading →
I don't know how I ended up reading Bill Bryson. I think a colleague recommended him with something along the lines of: "You just have to read him!" I think I asked why; what kind of stuff he wrote and if my friend wanted to suggest any specific book but I just got the same... Continue Reading →
