I've got really far behind with reviews so I'm just going to write a few lines on my most recent reads. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Dan is 7% done with The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

I'm really enjoying this so far but it's enormous and I have library books to read so I'm putting it aside for the time being.

I just posted my 400th review on Goodreads! I recently became a librarian here too- it's safe to say Goodreads is one of my favorite websites.

Dan is 80% done with To Kill a Mockingbird (To Kill a Mockingbird, #1)

I am surprised at just how brilliant this is. Shaping up to be one of my favourite books ever which I would never have expected!

To Kill a Mockingbird (To Kill a Mockingbird, #1)

Dan is on page 236 of 544 of Coalescent: Homo Superior (Destiny's Children, #1)

Really enjoying this so far. Very different from the author's other work & I like the post-Roman Britain setting.

Fantastic start to this so far, a brilliant space opera. I now wish I hadn't put of reading it for so long!

Dan is 50% done with The Golem and the Djinni

Lovely that the title characters are now sort of friends. Intrigued at where the second half will go.

Dan is 40% done with No Name

This has turned into a 19th Century thriller! Excellent stuff.

Dan is 20% done with No Name

A good book so far but this is not an easy one to get through!

Dan is 52% done with Gone Girl

Quite enjoyable so far and now there's been a huge twist which makes me desperate to carry on reading!

I'm really enjoying this, no idea who the murderer is though!

I didn't realise JK Rowling could do gore but apparently she can!

A good start but not sure what the mystery is going to be yet.

A massive dilemma of what to read next when The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith and The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter both come out on Thursday! Maybe something short...

Dan is 66% done with The Evil And The Pure

A clever and brutal story so far. I wonder if any of the characters will end the book alive. ..

Tried to do something on Goodreads and have accidentally added about 100 books to my shelves!

Dan is 50% done with The House of Silk (Sherlock Holmes #1)

This is superb, as good as Arthur Conan Doyle! The game is afoot!

I read quite a few comic books and realised they get completely ignored on here! From now on when I reach a comic which is the end of a story arc I will find the collected version and write a review of that (i.e. the whole arc), so watch this space for some of those in the near future!

Dan is 88% done with Dark Eden (Dark Eden, #1)

The second half hasn't been as good as the first so far. I am really intrigued about how it is going to end though.

Dan is 47% done with Dark Eden (Dark Eden, #1)

This looks to be the rare combination of a great sci-fi concept & a good storyline to go with it. A wonderful first half.

Dan is 75% done with By Blood We Live (The Last Werewolf 3) (The Last Werewolf Trilogy)

I haven't enjoyed a book this much for quite a while. Fingers crossed that it has a satisfactory ending!

Dan is 50% done with By Blood We Live (The Last Werewolf 3) (The Last Werewolf Trilogy)

This is superb so far, a clever werewolves and vampire story with no glimpse of Twilight nonsense!

Dan is 59% done with The Bones Beneath

Literally no idea where this is going. A bit slow at the moment but I think the final part will be pretty dramatic.

Dan is 28% done with The Bones Beneath

Fantastic start! The tension is really building and they haven't even reached the main setting of the story yet.
