Kenner continues her beloved Stark series with a sensual Stark Ever After novella for Nikki and Damien Stark as they turn up the heat in their holiday celebrations. Pages of Book: 92 pages (This may be different) ![]() Series: Stark Ever After #5, Stark Saga #3.5 ![]() ![]() Rincewind is a wizard, although not a very competent one, and Twoflower is a tourist who has a surprising lack of fear for his own personal safety, by which I mean that he’s not so much courageous as simply oblivious to danger of any sort. The main characters are Rincewind and Twoflower. This doesn’t feel so much like a coherent plot as a series of incidents that introduce us to places and characters. After that little hiccup the rest was a very easy story to get along with although the plot is a little jumpy. ![]() I confess that it took me a little while to get into this one, I don’t know why exactly, but I swear that I must have gone back to the beginning at least four times before I finally got on board. Like most first books this is a good introduction, it gives you a feel for the world, it introduces a couple of characters that I understand pop up again throughout the series and it demonstrates the madcap, quirky humour so you can get an idea if this will be something for you or not. ![]() As starts to series go this is kind of what I anticipated and a number of people had also mentioned to keep my expectations in check for this one as it isn’t the best that Discworld has to offer. So, The Colour of Magic is our first read and to be honest this is definitely a book where forewarned is forearmed. Today is my review for the first book in the Discworld series and the first step on a journey that Louise over at Lou’s Book Stuff and I agreed to undertake together whereby we read the entire Discworld series in order. ![]() ![]() ![]() He knows what he wants with her now…and it’s far outside the friend zone. So why ruin a good thing?Įven as geek girls fawn over him, Oliver can’t get his mind off what he didn’t do with Lola when he had the chance. ![]() More at home in her studio than in baring herself to people, Lola’s instinctive comfort around Oliver nearly seems too good to be true. In reality, Lola’s wanted Oliver since day one-and over time has only fallen harder for his sexy Aussie accent and easygoing ability to take her as she comes. If they’d doubled-down on that mistake, their Just Friends situation might not be half as great as it is now. ![]() Lola and Oliver like to congratulate themselves on having the good sense not to consummate their drunken Las Vegas marriage.

How long can DC keep it up? Who knows, but here’s hoping it’s a while.Īdmittedly, a guilty pleasure of the week was Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman. It’s such a refreshing read, and the artwork really compliments the script. Cameron Stewart’s Batgirl arrived on our shelves, and here’s hoping this Batgirl is here to stay. Let’s get some new blood into Captain America’s rogues’ gallery already, Marvel. The final reveal wasn’t anything new, as it’s all been done before. Rick Remender has proven he can be fantastic before, especially with Uncanny X-Force, but Captain America was fairly boring from start to finish. Axis’ core concept might be switching the alignment of good and evil, but it’s just not interesting or exciting.Ĭaptain America was also disappointing, despite Stuart Immonen being on the creative team. There’s really no reason for Tony Stark to be written as such a reprehensible character anymore. ![]() ![]() ![]() Superior Iron Man came straight out of the current Marvel event that keeps giving, and Tom Taylor’s script was vastly underwhelming. Unsurprisingly, both comics failed to impress. ![]() This week saw the release of two new Marvel comics, Superior Iron Man and Captain America. ![]() ![]() Portrays a ragtag band of human survivors and the Crakers, the ecological humanoidsĭesigned to replace humanity, as all begin anew in a ruined world.Įach novel in the trilogy revisits events leading up to the “year of the flood,” constantly Part of the corporate wonderland, thus revealing what it is like to be part of the 99% that make up Year of the Flood (2009) focuses on the stories of two women (Toby and Ren) who are not Also shifting between the past and the present apocalypse, The Has been lost as well as his own beguilement).

At the start, you are thrown into Earth as someone who has absolutely no idea about the planet and how humans act. ![]() In short, the book is about an alien from the future taking over the body of a mathematician on Earth to prevent him from proving the Riemann Hypothesis and to, therefore, save the planet from advancing (because humans supposedly can’t deal with this level of progress). I heard of ‘The Humans’ quite some time ago and yet had pushed it away as not my kind of book, because why would I want to read about alien life? And yet this book is so much more than this. ![]() Having already read ‘Echo Boy’, ‘Reasons to Stay Alive’ and ‘Notes on a Nervous Planet’ (and written blog posts on them), you could say I’m a pretty huge fan of Matt Haig. ![]() You hold reality in your hands until it burns and then you have to drop the plate.” “…this is what happens when you live on Earth. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sounds and sights which were ambiguous and could be real, hallucinatory or at least inexplicable – like Scrooge’s swinging bell.

A Christmas Carol is longer, like Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw, but they are not full-length novels, so wondered if I could write one of those myself, for fun. I read every one I could find, but as I grew up and became a writer, I discovered that they were almost all short. I read Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol aged nine, and that bell, together with the door knocker that turned into a man’s face, and “a clanking noise down below, as if some person were dragging a heavy chain” thrilled as they frightened me. ‘His glance happened to rest upon a disused bell that hung in the room … It was with great astonishment and a strange, inexplicable dread, that as he looked, he saw this bell begin to swing.” ![]() ![]() Our goal was to create sequels and prequels to the films we loved, paying careful attention to quality and detail, essentially treating those films as though they were our own.
