Hey, look at that! The last post on this blog was about the arrival of the desperately awaited new installment in the The Gentleman Bastard Sequence, and now I’m done reading it. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of you. The Lies of Locke Lamora is already one the best books I’ve [...]
It’s here! Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch is here!
The good times keep rolling, and now I’ve finished watching season 4 of “Angel”. Do you realize what this means? I’ve now only one single season of Whedon shows left. But lets save the nostalgia for the next review. It will be more appropriate then

The summer kicked in only yesterday and I’m already finished with my first book. Heart-shaped Box is written by Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King, who should be a household name for any reader out there.
