Always time for a good story

Neverending Stories

I read and listen to a lot of books, and not all of them are good. This section will include reviews of books that i think deserve a little extra depth. I try to review all books on Goodreads without any spoilers (links in the sidebar), so they are generally fairly brief and to the point. As this is my blog, i will enhance the reviews a little more, and give some extra opinions - which will probably contain some spoilers.
