What I’m reading: Burning for Revenge - done

Well I’m happy to say that the latest (for me) in the Tomorrow Series only took me a day and a half to plough through.  They are such sweet reads that it is easy to get through them and this one was no exception.  I was surprised though because only one really large event happens [...]

What I’m reading: Burning For Revenge

Chains of command

I can’t honestly say that I’ve read that many Star Trek Next Gen novels, a couple of the hardcovers and that’s really it. You see there is a quality difference in the Star Trek books - the hardcovers are a few a year and are generally landmark or event books that may deal with [...]

I am legend

With the year very quickly approaching its close I remember that at the beginning of the year I gave myself a target of reading 30 books (I think it was 30 it may have been 35 or something like that). Well I don’t know how I went but I certainly read a lot more [...]
