Last year I read the first book in the Magic 2.0 series, Off to be the Wizard and I loved it. It was clever, funny, snarky, full of nerdy, geeky jokes and references, and time travellers being confused by other time travellers. It was a lot of fun and even though I never got around to writing a CBR6 review for it, I remember recommending it to some people. With good memories of the previous book, I picked this one up and saved it for […]
Who knew assassins and magic could get boring?
Sworn in Steel is the second of the Tales of the Kin by Douglas Hulick. The first was a brilliant tale of a Nose (basic level criminal who seeks out secrets for money) who is smuggling a book full of magic, which turns out to be more important than he had expected.

Better, but still not quite there.

It’s a Fables encyclopedia. But, more importantly, I made it!! I almost didn’t think I was going to. This has been wonderful fun. I’m definitely signing up for next year, except I’m only committing to a half Cannonball. With a new baby on the way, and how close I came to the wire on this one, I don’t think I can make it to 52 next year. Thanks to everyone for the interesting reviews and to MsWas for keeping this ship afloat. I hope everyone […]
The most dangerous game. . . in space!
Yes, it’s another Doctor Who novel. And this one manages to have the Doctor, Amy and Rory on the cover. Poor Rose.

Seriously, mine just has the Doctor on it. Do people really hate Rose that much that they had to make two covers?
