Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
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 →
I'm a man of habit. That's not something I say lightly, it's not just a casual saying to me. What I mean is that I'm extremely habitual, scheduled, and organized. Extremely. I love habits. I like being organized. I like following a set program. Every. Single. Day. It sounds boring to some people, but to... Continue Reading →
Finally, another book review. Sorry it's been a bit quiet on my end - lots of isolating to do and I've been kinda busy. But I had the time to read this, which I've been excited about for a while. I first heard of Matt Haig on Twitter, and when I did, I couldn't stop... Continue Reading →
The notion of 'getting hooked' on a book is alien to me. Sure, there are books that I love and that I'll happily read over and over again, but I've never experience that immediate "OMG, THIS BOOK!!"-feeling that some people seem to have. People talk about great opening lines and great first pages, and I... Continue Reading →
Warcraft is the best fantasy series I've ever read! For those of you who have paid any attention to this blog and my other Warcraft reviews, you've probably heard me say it before. And I'll probably say it again. It doesn't hurt that I love the games, and know a lot of the lore and... Continue Reading →
Since I'm on a King binge that I just can't seem to quit, I carried on with The Dead Zone, on someone's recommendation. I'd never heard of this book before, at all, and was surprised to find out that it's one of his earlier works. Again, going in blind makes King's books not feel so... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine gave me this whole series (four books in total) and recommended that I read them because he was sure I would love them. So far I've only gotten through this first one, but he's not entirely wrong. The plot is one you probably feel like you've heard before. In a fantasy... Continue Reading →
Pure, undeniable fantasy. I loved it. This is the first warhammer book I've read, and I got it for two reason: 1) it was on offer, and 2) I love warhammer and everything about. I never used to play much other than a few stints while I was at uni, but I loved the models... Continue Reading →
BETTER THAN THE SHINING! I finally get it. I went in completely blind with this. Hadn't heard a thing, other than that it was the follow-up to The Shining. Now, if this is what it feels like to read King novels when they're new and unknown, when your expectations aren't painted by years of hype... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I tweeted about my wife going back home. You see, we live apart (we have for a while) and because of Covid-19 we got to spend a lot of time together because she basically became stranded where I live. Those tweets always gets loads of response, which is really sweet. I... Continue Reading →
