Book Completed

Stayed up until 1.00am this morning to finish the Assassin’s Apprentice – had to complete it in the bathroom as Tash was moaning at me keeping her awake with the bright torch light from my phone!

Loved the book and now need book 2 – have placed the order with Tash as she should be able to get it from work on account

When I checked for the next title(s) I found that there are loads – she’s written as many as Raymond Feist and others – so there are 16 titles that I need to get through!! Ah well, it’s a start.

I also downloaded an app for my phone so I can create blog posts on the fly more easily – should be fun and will hopefully be able to do more updates that are not so long, or boring – just thoughts to jot down hopefully, we’ll see how that goes and for how long!

Decent Book – Assassin’s Apprentice

I am currently reading a book by Robin Hobb called “Assassin’s Apprentice” – absolutely loving it.

I got it for Xmas and haven’t really tried to read it but now I can’t put it down. It’s a bit of a slow burner but it’s very detailed and it’s exactly the sort of writing that I like. I won’t say it’s like David Gemmell, it’s not. If I was to compare it with anyone then it would be with Raymond Feist – it does feel like I am ready Magician, but that suits me. I like that sort of thing. And with more time that I currently have, I am getting through a lot of pages.

It’s a trilogy so I will have to get the next one soon, it also feels more productive to read the book instead of going the Twitter, Facebook or playing Sudoku!

Anyway, all good so far…

Brian Blessed Autobiography

This hasn’t disappointed! I was reading the page in the image below and was in fits of laughter, the only problem I was on the train and the woman next to me had to ask what I was laughing at!

It just tickled me and I could envisage him doing exactly what he said in terms of running around shouting ‘Bang!’ each time he shot someone!

Very amusing – nearing the end of it now, it’s taken me an age to read it because I started it in October!!
