Book Review: The Girl With All The Gifts

Maybe it's just me, but the whole zombie thing is really wearing me out. I'm still reading (not watching) The Walking Dead, but the idea if the World War Z movie or another zombie book or comic is frankly tiring.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Book Comparison and Review - Episodes 6, 7 and 8

The Dresden Readthrough: Small Favor

We continue our readthrough of Jim Butcher's uber-popular urban fantasy series The Dresden Files today with book ten, White Night. The continuing plan is to do a book a month on the first Tuesday of each month, and with 16 books on the publication schedule between now and when our readthrough is over, our reading list should be pretty full for the foreseeable future.

The sixteenth book came out this past week, and it's really weird hearing some chatter here and there while reading this one. Even weirder is how this started out as possibly my favorite and unfortunately dragged a little until it picked up at the end. They can't all be crazy winners.
