I love listening to the autobiographies of my favourite actors and comedians. Kevin Hart, John Cleese, Felicia Day, Amanda Palmer, all have put out such engrossing, fascinating reads. I couldn't get enough of them! When I joined Twitter I described myself as “Scottish elf trapped inside a middle aged man’s body” and I still think... Continue Reading →
Hullo again! This weekend was nice and lazy and full of...actually, a lot of studying, one week into this new year of uni. I wanted to share my review of Sapkowski's second Witcher novel, The Sword of Destiny before this first week of September is truly and forever gone! The full review, as usual, you...

GAAAAAAH! Hello! I've been thinking about what book I'm most excited to read next, and it's actually not a difficult decision at all. It's funny, too, because I'm reading Abercrombie's Sharp Ends right now and rather than sate my appetite, this short story antology set in the First Law universe is making me all the...

The entirety of this review is published over at booknest.eu. Below is an exerpt of it because...well, #everythingiscontent, and this is mine. Entering a new fictional world that might take up dozens or even hundreds of hours of your time is no small thing; those first few hours are decisive as they can either mesmerize...

Hullo and welcome to this tiny review, in which I will bitch and moan about Fool Moon for a wee bit! Why? Because #EverythingIsContent ! I listened to James Masters's reading of the first Harry Dresden novel almost two years ago -- my Goodreads shelf tells me I read it on June 29, 2017 --... Continue Reading →
Hullo and welcome (back) to my blog! It's been a little while since last I had the pleasure of working on a blog entry for this here Grimoire Reliquary and since I just finished two rather small works (in terms of content), I thought now might be a good time to tell you about these...

Hey, everyone! This review was originally published over on BookNest.eu about six months ago. Check the site out, great reviews by me and many other lovely folks! I thought I'd start reposting my old reviews here every few days, in case anyone who hasn't seen them before follows my blog for the book reviews in... Continue Reading →
I've had some trouble putting my thoughts in order where Senlin Ascends, the first book in Josiah Bancroft's Books of Babel series of four, is concerned. This book is an excellent read, the kind whose characters live with you well after you've put it down for good. Perhaps Senlin Ascends is one of those rare... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time, I read Half a King by Joe Abercrombie and was quite fond of it. Half a King was a wonderful entry into the unique brand of subversive storytelling Abercrombie is famed for. It was a thrill to go through but now that I've read four of the six First Law books... Continue Reading →
Ah, 80's era fantasy. An era much beloved by many and fairly disliked by some. To me, it's a by-gone age with some great books that hold up really well, and some that...well, don't. Either way, I've been going out of my way to explore this decade's worth of fantasy trends, and--surprise, surprise-- sword'n'sorcery is... Continue Reading →
The Grimoire Reliquary
