Initially i was thinking along the lines of grumbles and moans, but i'm pretty sure that's been overdone to hell by one and all, but i don't see why i should refrain! Might post a few game or book reviews if i feel up to it, been reading a lot recently. Kinda through the wife, plenty of upcoming kids books that i've really enjoyed.
On the note of books i'd like to heartily suggest a couple right away.
- Marcus Sedgewick - My Swordhand is Singing
There's not much i can say about this book i didn't love. i was dubious, my wife thrust it upon me unexpectedly! The first chapter had me hooked and it was not what i was expecting. It's based on vampire lore, though they typically seem more of an undead zombie type of vampire than the traditional Bram Stoker style Dracula character. It's the story of a woodcutters son, his fathers past and of course the undead. If you loved Sabriel you'll adore this! - Elizabeth Kostovo - The Historian
Another Vampiric book, more in common with Bram Stoker this time, it's told from the perspective of a historian that has been caught up in a search for a missing professor Rossi, which drags him and a number of others into a worldwide hunt for information on Vlad Dracula, and the history of his death. I utterly adored this book! not my normal genre, but there's something incredily enchanting about it, i felt myself compelled into reading chapter after chapter! I'd reccomend this one to anyone at all! especially if you're looking for something slightly different!
Toodle pip!
