WAAAAA! Okay. So I’m a bit upset at the ending because THERE WAS NO ENDING. I’m going to have to read the second book because I want to know what happens to all the characters in this one. It started off a bit ‘what the fuck is going on’ as there were many words that … Continue reading

Book review: The Illustrated Man
Right. This was fucking brilliant and super creepy. The Illustrated Man was written in 1951 and so in some respects shows it’s age a little bit.

Book review: Barrayar
Omg. Omg. Omg. So adorable. Barraryar is the first book I’ve read that is a sequel to one from the list. The first book in the series was Shards of Honour which as I said was friggin’ adorkable. THE ADORKABLENESS CONTINUES. The story starts from right after the end of the last book. Aral and … Continue reading
