Just finished ‘ICU’. Another quiet banger of a short story from Mr Lehane. Nothing of the spectacular but an intriguing one nonetheless, and as always, vivid writing.

Just finished ‘Running Out Of Dog’. A gritty, grimy, short story that left me feeling a little melancholy. Dennis Lehane’s writing is always music to my ears. Doesn’t disappoint.

Logen’s got a good heart, man, and not cause he says so, but I can see it in his actions.

What can I say? I’m a fan of this series. And I’m in-love with the writing style: so simple, yet as you read each POV, it’s like you’re walking in their shoes.

Veradis has been my favourite character since book one.

You see this world Mr. Peter V. Brett has created? It’s so ripe for many stories to be told, I swear. That’s why I’m not even gutted that I have to sit through Jardir’s backstory before I eventually get back to Arlen. I’m enjoying learning how Jardir became the man that left Arlen for dead in the first book. The chapters and scene breaks also makes this a dream book to read in short bursts or long sessions.

I’m digging this book so far. I’ve see Sons of Anarchy in its entirety (soon to start the recent spin off: Mayans MC), and I can see the resemblance, and yes, I know who the ‘Claymaster’ and ‘Jackal’ are meant to represent. I love that the author took from different things that he liked and mashed them all together. Friggin awesome.

Horizon Zero Dawn & Detroit: Become Human vibes. Loving this novel so far.

This book is hilarious and surprisingly relevant. And not just in attracting women (like the title implies), but in everyday usage for personal development.

I’m aware Mark Manson has another beloved—and critically lauded—book called: “The Subtle Act Of Not Giving A Fuck” which is on my list next.

So glad I found his book. It’s so me, foreal. Right up my street.

Angels, Demons, Giants, War, Swords, Magic . . . Catering to everything I look for in a book, and written in a Game of Thrones-esque way.

This behemoth (and the rest of the series) may take me a while, but I’m loving it so far.

I’m loving the pacing of this book so far. The world is full and rich. And Rin is a very compelling character. She’s so well written. I actually care lol.
