I've just posted my review of Shakespeare vs. Cthulhu by Jonathan Green, and it's an anthology based on a fun premise that delivers. A fun read:

I loved the first book and really wanted to enjoy the sequel, but Metro 2034 proved to be a disappointment - which was a real shame.

I've just reviewed The Evolutionary Void by Peter F Hamilton, and it's a cracking read with everything I love about a great sci-fi read:

Just finished a fabulous children's book that resonates equally deeply for adults: Foxheart
Foxheart is a magical, beautiful book that draws the reader in from the first paragraph and carries the reader on a thrilling journey through time and place to an emotionally satisfying ending. Reminds me of Inkheart in the quality of language and the inventive fantasy as well as the strong emotional connection between Quicksilver and the reader. Lots of humor to relieve the danger. I hope there will be more in this world from this author.

I've said before that I'm a huge fan of the 40K universe, and in particular enjoying the Horus Heresy series - well this has to be the best book in the series so far! It's well written and conveys the bleakness of the world well, and more than that acts as a kind of template for what I enjoy about the setting so much.

The astartes continue as superhuman heroes, but against foes just as capable, if not more so. The story tells of a lone frigate trying to warn Terra of Horus' treachery. The action is desperate and while Nurgle is my least favourite of the Chaos pantheon, his influence is used to devastating effect. This is match with the evolution of the cult worshipping the Emperor as a divine being.

I also enjoyed the wider take on characters beyond the marines - the Sisters in particular are formidable and I'm looking forward to learning more about them. Overall this was a cracking read.

I just got a beautiful copy of Once Upon a Time in the North by Philip Pullman. Hardback, first edition. I think I'm in love because the cover is just gorgeous.

I just finished putting this together-3 books about Houdini in one volume. Anybody who's into Vaudville, silent movie pictures, or Barnum and Bailey Circus should check this out. Houdini even gives insight to the secrets behind some of his better known tricks, many consisting of alchemy and homemade elixirs. Check it out if you get a chance-Listed on Amazon; worldwide/Europe included. Thank you for your interest

Just finished Stephen King's "On Writing." ❤️❤️❤️
This book is an amazing read not just for writers. I loved learning more about King's past and his process. Couldn't put it down.

Finally picking back up "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson after three false starts. Haunting and creepy, but in a totally understated way. I love it so far.
