Xbox Dad article on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is up

Posted on August 14th

I was a bit surprised to find that I enjoyed this game, although I enjoyed the last few books in the series and the latest movie, I really figured the game would only appeal to kids.

The Deverry Novels by Katharine Kerr

Posted on October 16th

I've recently begun re-reading the Deverry novels; I just went through Daggerspell, Darkspell and I'm onto The Bristling Wood (basically 'Act 1' as the author has described the books as being the various parts of a long play). This is an excellent series, but one that I found quite by accident. Bac […]

Into comics but also like books with more words?

Posted on July 13th

I'm a big comic book fan, or at least I was. Now I generally pick up a graphic novel or a compilation every once in awhile (just read this and this, great writing and visuals) mostly Marvel although the Watchmen and some of the Dark Knight stuff can't be passed up... Recently though, my wife read a […]

Book is making its way to local stores...

Posted on February 6th

I was in a local Barnes and Noble, the one in downtown Bellevue (WA), and I spotted our book on the shelves. It wasn't at the Woodinville B&N as of yesterday, but at least it is showing up in some stores! […]

Finished "Knife of Dreams", with a bit of sadness as usual

Posted on December 4th

Don't misunderstand, I enjoyed the book... but just like watching an episode of your favorite TV show and knowing that it will be another week until you can see another (or watching the Pegasus episode of Battlestar […]

Ordered a book from Amazon today, expect a dip in my productivity

Posted on October 26th

I remembered that the 11th book in the Wheel of Time series, Knife of Dreams, was coming out sometime in October so I checked for it on Amazon today and it turns out it came out on the 19th. So (despite being fairly busy and having a real problem with reading non-stop through every single book […]

Basically, if you are someone who likes to read then you probably won't mind the 'req […]
