Reading Science Fiction, Fantasy and Crime
It’s a bit of a cut down round-up compared with last weeks packed edition but no less interesting.

This post is just my thoughts on the series as a whole. It does contain spoilers about the stories, because here I’ll [...]
The Book-o-sphere Round–up is back after a weeks hiatus so this will probably turn into a long one!

As March is now a week old, it is more than time to round up my reviews during the past month at Euro Crime, and of these [...]
Sorry there is no Book-o-sphere Round–up this week. As you can see by the lack of posts over the last couple of days it’s been a bit quiet on the blog.
It’s been a weird week where I just haven’t been able to catch up with myself though part of that is my own fault as I [...]
Where has the week gone? I’m just finishing The Ice-Princess by Camilla Läckberg before moving on to The Preacher and The Stone-Cutter so that I can get some interview questions prepared. I’m also reading Angel’s Blood by Nalini Singh, which me dipping my toe into Urban Romance. She’s very readable. Will see how we go.
In [...]
Is it Sunday again? It must be. I’m listening to audio book of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle read by the amazing Derek Jacobi. I can’t get enough of him reading Holmes. Truly brilliant. So with a cup of tea in hand here we go.

Today’s round-up is going to be a bit of express one – time isn’t with me this morning as you can see as it’s already past 12pm – so not that many pics apart from this one.

Vikings, werewolves, meddling gods…and huge axes! If that sounds pretty good [...]
Well it’s Sunday morning so it must be time to check out what’s been happening around the blook-o-sphere. Last weeks was a bit too long so I’m probably going to keep this weeks a bit shorter!
And we start with a very important question:

In the meantime, I [...]
It’s been a busy week on the blogs this week so I’d better get started but I’m going to try and be little more rounded in my Round-up featuring some books that I don’t like the sound of as well as ones I do.

link: My Favourite Books: The Toymaker by Jeremy de Quidt
The Toymaker is beautifully written by Jeremy de Quidt. It’s deeply dark and disturbing with touches of the macabre that will scintillate younger and older readers alike. The action is vivid and moves the story forward as much as the quest to find out [...]
I love doing the link posts. It gives me a good excuse to hunt around on other peoples blogs, which is usually a Sunday morning thing. So the plan is, hopefully to post a Book-o-sphere Round-up every Sunday. These are going to be in a random order as it’s going to depend on the order [...]
