I've just posted my review for Cixin Liu's novel The Three-Body Problem, and it's an amazing read. Some of the best sci-fi I've read in a while:

I've just posted my review for Dan Simmons Endymion - the third book in the series. It follows the pattern of the first book and sets up well for the final book. I love this series!

I've just finished reading Carole Gill's Circus of Horrors, and it's a bit of a mixed bag, but does contain some quality horror moments:

I've just posted my review for Wasteland Gods by Jonathan Woodrow, and it's a decent horror story overall:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've just finished The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven Niven and Jerry Pournelle, and it's a brilliant take on the first contact theme:

[Susan]

I'm now reading . So far it is mysterious and quiet with beautiful language.

[Thayer]

Inspired by the captivating French television series, I've recently been reading the Nicolas Le Floch Investigation novels by Jean-François Parot.

Magnifique!

[Jane]

Dorothy Dunnett's Crawford of Lymond series. From the top.

[Susan]

Just starting Six of Crows.

[Michael]

I've just posted my review of Peter F Hamilton's second book in The Void Trilogy - The Temporal Void. While I'm not a fan of the dream sequences, I did enjoy the threads outside the Void, and it ends with a fascinating revelation:

[Michael]

I've posted my review for David Wailing's new short story - Signal Failure. It's a delightfully scary tale of Emily's journey home on the underground. Highly recommended, and I can't wait for the novel to be released!

[Michael]

I've just posted my review for Legion of the Damned by Rob Sanders, and while it lacked a decent presence of the named chapter, it was still a decent battle in the 40K universe:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Jane]

[Michael]

I've posted my review for William Meikle's collection of short stories Dark Melodies. It's a decent read with some good ideas, but it doesn't quite achieve greatness:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've posted my review for William Hertling's novel The Turing Exception - it's an excellent look at the technological singularity, and a cracking read:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've posted my review of Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice - I had a few minor issues with it, but on the whole it's good science fiction:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Val]

Blasted by Sarah Kane. Just finished the first act.

[Susan]

Just finished . Such a fun, well-written adventure! Now starting .

[Jane]

Thrones, Dominations. It's truly excellent and evokes the period so well.

[Thomas]

I'm reading Beatrix Percival :)

[Michael]

I've posted my review for Raymond E. Feist's Magician: Apprentice, and it was as much of a joy to read as the first time I read it - a fantasy classic in my opinion:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've just finished re-reading Ian M. Banks' Excession, and it remains not only one of the top science fiction reads, but one of my favorite books ever:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've just posted my review for Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest, and it somehow manages to be better than the first book. It's a damn fine read, and in my opinion it's one of the finest examples of modern science fiction:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've posted my review for Horus Rising by Dan Abnett, and if you're a fan of the 40K universe then it;s a good read. If you're not familiar then it's probably not the best book to start with:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've just finished re-reading Cabal by Clive Barker, and while it's far from his best it's still a decent horror read:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Susan]

Just starting .

[Michael]

I've just finished reading Stephen Baxter's Proxima, and I loved it - it's a damn fine sci-fi read :-)

I've posted my review for Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl, and it's a fascinating world, but is doesn't quite deliver.

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]

I've just posted my review for Angel Manor by Chantal Noordeloos, and it's a fantastic horror read with a finely balanced blend of gore and atmosphere:

Me too. This collection of stories was chilling!

[Dawn]

I just finished Her Last Whisper I love this series! It is a mystery/adventure with serial killers, blended with romance. In this case, the hunky hero is a ghost who is more than welcome to haunt my bedroom. Great chemistry between the hero and heroine. A very creative concept.

[Michael]

I've posted my review for David Hadley's In the Beginning and it's a superb read, based on an interesting concept.

[Michael]

I've just posted my review for World War Cthulhu: A Collection of Lovecraftian War Stories by Brian M Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass - there are a few gems in there that made it worth a read:
