    Werewolf stories

    ‘Leaders of the Pack’ is a werewolf anthology that’s being released in hardback on the 20th of this month. Looks like a good read

    Best 10 fiction books read in 2019?

    I started the year with a lot of non-fiction Vietnam War related works so struggling to actually get a top ten fiction together but here are some of the most notable fiction reads of this year: Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham Suicide Motor Club - Christopher Buehlman The Way of Shadows -...

    The Winds of Winter publishing date guesses?

    Rumour has it he’s finished WoW, I read it somewhere quite respectable online recently but can’t recall where, but if he had I think he’d have mentioned it on his blog. Instead he’s been updating about the opening of his new bookshop - which if I lived closer to I’d like to visit but alas it’s...

    Books Adapted for Films in which Changes were made to story and characters that you actually liked

    The recent adaptation of The War of The Worlds by the BBC was a let down in my opinion which is a shame as I had high hopes for it. The actors were fabulous and all did a great job but the jumps in timeline were unnecessary and sometimes confusing. The aliens once out of their tripods were...

    Books Adapted for Films in which Changes were made to story and characters that you actually liked

    At first I thought you were referring to the 1978 animated version of The Lord of the Rings directed by Ralph Bakshi. I always wish they'd followed this movie with the sequel but alas it never came to be. I loved the animation mixed in with the live action (rotoscoping), never seen anything like it.

    Books Adapted for Films in which Changes were made to story and characters that you actually liked

    The Passage by Justin Cronin has been in my top 3 reads from the last few decades. They made it into a TV series that had a great deal of differences but was still entertaining and watchable. Then as it was about to get interesting and the first season ended they cancelled it!!

    Thank you for the fabulous review @Parson Wrote my tale last night whilst the better half watched Emmerdale. Took me about 20 mins from start to finish. The inspiration came from a business trip I had to Amsterdam a few years ago.

    November 2019- 75 Word Writing Challenge -- VICTORY TO MOSAIX!

    Don't believe the hype. The rain was unrelenting. It had been that way for hours. A constant heavy downpour. The view of Dam Square from the bar of the Krasnopolsky was blurred by the running rainwater. A myriad of coloured umbrellas dashed across the Square. Cyclists dodged puddles and rang...

    Honestly thought this was going to be the first one that I hadn’t entered for quite some time. Anyhow, I’ve had a go at least. Probably miles off the mark but at least I’m in.

    Joe Abercrombie: A Little Hatred coming September 2019

    I'm listening to the audiobooks in the car at the moment to refresh my memory before starting A Little Hatred. Have the whole series on Audible. Although I need to finish reading Ulff Lehman's Light in the Dark series before I start reading anything else.
