I am sure a lot of people will put this better than I can, but isn't it fantastic when you find a new author who's books you instantly become addicted to.
This year it's happened to me for the first time in a while. Mark Charan Newton is the author. I picked up his first couple of books at the beginning of this year, and it is such a good series. I have reviewed the 2nd and 3rd book of the series, Legends of the Red Sun. Follow the links on the right if you want to read them.
This series has helped me to read and review more books this year. I was getting a bit lazy reading the latest from the same old x author, and I stopped hunting around for new authors. I pretty much lost my passion for books. Now I feel re-energised and I have spent a lot more on books this year, and I have even gone to to some book events run by alt-fiction.
So even though he will never find my tiny ikkle blog with 1 follower, thank you Mark for reigniting my passion for books.

What i've been upto and what I want to do.
Hello.
Please do not faint!! I am a bit stuck working a lot at the moment, but to be honest I am just not very good at doing this blog thing. I'm still writing book reviews on fantasybookreview.co.uk a very good site and you should spend your time reading lots of the reviews.
I've also signed up to be part of the Angry Robot Army, so I'll review some of their really interesting books. Great small publisher, which a great offer for an annual supply of all their books as ebooks. Take a look at their website angryrobotbooks.com
So hopefully I will get my busy work period of work out of the way in the next couple of weeks, and then I will try to update this site a bit more!!
Also I am trying to find the time to join in a great idea from @fantasyfaction fantasy-faction.com to write 500 words, a day, and as an author pointed out recently if you type at 60 words a minute, then that's only 9 minutes of your time per day.
Oh. I also need a nicer editor to write these blogs it's horrible the basic editor within blogger.
Have fun in whatever you are doing, and just remember read lots of books.

Sea of Ghosts by Alan Campbell
Hi to all of you.
OK, probably only Hi to my one blog follower. You know who you are. Anyway. Please follow this link to see my review on fantasybookreview.co.uk.
It's a good book overall. some of the characters are slightly flat but the world itself is great and I enjoyed it a lot.
