  1. Got Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol. 1 and Vance's Tales from the Dying Earth from the Library today, made a start on Dying Earth.
  2. Had my stag party in Torquay at the weekend, had an amazing time but didn't feel too great the next day
  3. Not sure, but definitely less then 50!!
  4. That is really cool!
  5. Mine is over 200 now, with a lack of space and money I am really clamping down on buying new books until I get the pile down quite a bit
  6. Welcome to the forum
  7. I really wanna see that, glad it is good! Darjeeling Limited is my favourite Anderson film.
  8. I prefer Dexterite, doesn't sound like a girl, lol.
  9. Just finished reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter, really enjoyed it, I love the premise and humour, will definitely be reading more and watching the series
  10. Finished my first Dexter book, really enjoyed it! love the dark humour and the insights into his thoughts. Will certainly be reading more. I haven't seen any of the series yet either.
  11. Leave for my Stag do tomorrow, a weekend in Torquay with my Brothers and mates: Paintballing, quad-biking and clay pigeon shooting, should be awesome!
  12. Away until Monday, so it will be 5
  13. Nooooo missed it again!!
  14. Love fantasy, as i'm sure you know, A Game of Thrones just reminds me how good it can be.
  15. I'm from MK it is a great place to shop, just needs some independent and second hand book stores. Great haul, I hope you enjoy them.
  16. OK thanks I will have a look. One I found is Weirdspace: The Devil's Nebula by Eric Brown. Only one out at the moment but looks like it will be a series.
  17. all good I hope I was wondering if you or VF know of a light-hearted non-continuous sci-fi series? Something along the lines of Sharpe (in space) or Firefly. Something like that would be great fun I reckon.
  18. Not sure how no one has recommended Ian Fleming's James Bond series yet. Classics of the genre.
  19. It was Queen of Sorcery, but she didn't do much. Much more of her in MG, probably my favourite character, can't wait to see what happens with her. Silk was also brilliant in this book, lots of nose twitching
  20. Magician's Gambit by David Eddings Review. not too much I can say about this that hasn't already been covered in the previous two reviews. The whole series feels like one book/story split into 5 parts as oppose to some series such as Mistborn where every book as an overall story arc. Every addition is another leg in the quest to reclaim the Orb of Aldur and this one does let down. The fastest pace of them so far, it kicks the action up a gear as well as expanding the magic, religions and races. The characters develop further and become even more lovable which I didn't think was possible at this point. Another brilliant addition to an already brilliant series. Overall 9/10
  21. Read the third book of The Belgariad - Magician's Gambit. Brilliant stuff, certainly picked up the pace a lot. Also listened to a good few hours of 11.22.63 by Stephen King and it is absolutely amazing so far. Some great nostalgic references to his earlier books including my favourites, Christine and IT. Going to finally start my first Adam Nevill book - Banquet for the Damned.
  22. I've never read any or seen the series, just had it recommended many times. Me neither! I'll let you know.
  23. Got a few more books from eBay today. Apartment 16 - Adam Nevill Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay Dragonsinger and The White Dragon - Anne McCaffrey
  24. Saw Moneyball, Brad Pitt was amazing with a thoroughly convincing performance. Still have no idea how Jonah Hill got an Oscar nomination for his supporting role, he wasn't bad but the role was very passive and undemanding.
  25. Watched Horrible Bosses. Really funny with a great cast, recommend it.
