American Gods byNeil Gaiman It has long been a shameful secret of mine that I’ve never read a Neil Gaiman novel.

Audiobook Review: Turn Coat by Jim Butcher

Posted on June 28, 2013 Leave a Comment

Turn Coat by Jim Butcher I seem to have developed a habit of reading the first book in a series then skipping a whole bunch to read from the series again. It worked well for me with Star Wars: A New Jedi Order and I can’t complain about my recent run with The Dresden Files. […]
