We’re not strangers to sequels; they happen all the time. Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Back to the Future, Men in Black, Star Wars – heck, even Starship Troopers earned a few low budget sequels.

So, the official stuff:
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with ancient and [...]
Think of these posts as the opposite of a review – cuz I haven’t actually read the book yet…

This means that I have a lot of unread books lying around. This week, I’m going to talk about some of those books and try to justify, [...]

This happens from time to time.
With that in mind, I made a trip to ye olde book seller and picked up a few things to whet the literary appetite. I haven’t [...]
