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 . 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. _________________ Come see me at my other spot locations:

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... _________________ "Right so we're going to steal a bomb that can be remote detonated, take it back to our base and then huddle around it? That sounds like a great plan." |

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

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 _________________

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. It's an awesome read. Great characters, great fight scenes, and some really good humour. Top read. _________________ "I sit on my arse, not my head." - Baron Gresse. |
