Dodger, Terry Pratchett
Dodger, by Terry Pratchett. Just got around to finishing this. In real hardback book format (like all my PTerrys) and therefore liable to being dropped each night as I slip into slumber. As with all PTerry works, this was very enjoyable. However, using the name Dodger in a real world Victorian London tale continually put…

Jack Glass, by Adam Roberts
On a rainy birthday day-off, I’ve just enjoyed a rare but delicious hour in a hot bath, and finished off Jack Glass, by Adam Roberts (Kindle version). In my youth I lived on science fiction, and then as the years went by I tended toward fantasy, when I had any time to read non-fiction at…

Druidry and the Ancestors
Druidry and the Ancestors, by Nimue Brown As the regular reader (I know your name) will know, I picked this book up the other week at The Druid Network Conference. Nearly all books on Druidry seem to have covers showing trees, and while this one is no exception, I absolutely love the artwork that Nimue’s…

Currently Reading – Terry Pratchett’s Soul Music
Currently Reading – Terry Pratchett’s Soul Music Just because. Not the first read, and surely not the last. Although, it has to be said, there’re so many PTerry books on the shelf now that I may never find time to read them all again, as often as they deserve… yes, all hardback, first editions and…

Currently Reading – Terry Pratchett: The Spirit of Fantasy, by Craig Cabell
Terry Pratchett: The Spirit of Fantasy, by Craig Cabell Being a long time fan, I’ve got all the Discworld novels in hardback first editions (and not one of them signed, what a rarity!). I got this book as a welcome birthday present, and I’m looking forward to reading a bit more of the background to…

Currently Reading – Advent by James Treadwell
Advent by James Treadwell I bought it on the basis of a recommendation heard on Radio 4. It sounded rather good. I struggled for a fortnight with it until, somewhere about halfway, I simply couldn’t find the energy to keep going. Sorry James (I saw you click on my blog), the writing was fine but the swapping…
