In memory of Sir Pterry

Today I am in mourning, for today one of my favourite authors stepped out of this world and into the next (if you believe in that kind of thing). That author is Sir Terry Pratchett. He had struggled for eight years with alzheimers and finally it got the better of him.

I first discovered the Discworld close to 30 years ago, when desperately seeking something new to read in our tiny local library. I Read more of this blog post »

I'm not usually a vampire fan, but I make an exception for stories who approach it in a tongue-in-cheek manner. This book certainly ticks those boxes. Vampires are ancient, immortal, and come with baggage - sometimes physical (as in this book's prede ...more

Angela Oliver is 20% done with A Grave Mistake: Im enjoying this book, dont get me wrong, but the Mary Sue moments have me eye rolling. Arabella apparently invented pole dancing (more than 50 years before it actually became popular). Gideon? He suggested the term "impressionist" to his new friend, Monet.
