Started a book called Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve. a friend of mine keeps on about it so i thought i would give it a go. mainly because the plot sounds hilarious Smile. for those who dont know its a thousand years in the future, not much has changed except all of the cities and towns in the world are now mobile. They are set upon giant caterpillar tracks and the larger ones eat the smallers ones.

When i say eat, what really happens in the smaller city is sucked in and dismantled by machinery.

its not half bad to be honest!

Nocturnal Witchcraft - Konstantinos.

Interesting, compelling and fun to try out. Wicca for the dark. He has some very interesting ideas and processes which sound fun. Might even try them out.

I have a book on vampires by him I think.

I've litereally just finished reading Tourniqet. The debut novel by Kim Lakin Smith. And a bloody good read it was too. Set in an alternate version of Nottingham, named Renegade City. I'd say people who like The Crow or Buffy or Angel will definitely like this.

It almost made me want to get a black and red tipped Mohawk...

Ooooh good reading Mark. The Disreputable Dog is one of my fav characters of all time.

I've just finished Graham Joyce's The Tooth Fairy, funny, dark and a good growing up tale Very Happy

Half read PS10, took a break this weekend to read The Supernaturalists by Eoin Colfer. Great little scifi book. Thanks Jov for the loan. I really like Colfer's style and he has a great imagination. Brilliant world he created there. The whole idea of getting shrink wrapped was ace Laughing

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. It's an awesome read. Great characters, great fight scenes, and some really good humour. Top read.

currently on Army of the fantastic.


Finished some Preacher stories which are very brutal and in your face. But also so very good too.
