This is the 3rd book in the of Blood and Bone series by John Gwynne and I have to say this was a fantastic fast paced intense read
This whole series is just awesome, politics, religion, angels and demons, battle bears, warriors, giants, twisted demonic creatures and creations all fighting in a war for supremency.
This final book in the series does not stop with the action with just the right amount of down time between moments of intense action and great characters and just crazy fun all around.

This is the 2nd book in the His dark materials series. I don't have a whole lot to say about this one.
I will say a few things however, this book really has the feeling of a set up book for the final book in the series the amber spyglass, with the majority of the plot/story taking place around the sublte knife but not actually involving the knife itself if that makes any sense.
We do get more of the set up for the anti-theist or reglion angle of the story, which I personally am enjoying myself (granted some acknowledged bias due to personal expierence i admit)
over all 3.5/5 for me

I have read a few "classics" in my time and TBH I have found many of these older classics to be dry in the writing style with lack of good characters and often while great ideas, not told in a really entertaining way.
War of the worlds stands apart from that, and I would argue this book has the feel of a cosmic horror. The unexpected arrival of aliens in london and the world is at war. The devastation, terror and destruction is told in a way that keeps you reading wanting to know how the world survives and ultimates "wins" this war of the worlds
I really enjoyed this read and its a scifi classic I would highly reccomend for any scifi fan

Well damn, things are getting just a bit insane, wild ride, such a good read
JIm butcher never fails to impress with the world of Dresden Files. so much going on its just too hard to summarise lol. Vampires, Fairy realm and creatures, outsiders from time and space, and the mortal world stuck in the cross fire. so good
Everything about this series is just a wild ride, the characters, the action, the world building. Hands down Harry Dresden is my all time fav wizard and my fav urban fantasy series of all time. If you have not read the Dresden Files do so!!!!

Snuff by Terry Pratchett
Commader Vimes needs to take a vacation but as usual its not that simple
This book at its heart is a murder myster focusing around issues of racism and slavery. Its hard not to see the parrallells of the slave trade within this book, Just in this case its the Goblins who are viewed as something less than human and worthy of our respect. A Goblin is murdered and others are rounded up aboard ships to be sent off as slaves and Commander Vimes is on the case
Terry Pratchett is once again at the top of his game as he deals with these issues in his usual witty style. Sometimes all it takes is one good person to take a stand and force the world to see things differnetly and Commander Vimes is that man great book!
