Reader, writer, IT-consultant and generally laid back. (I think.) I love scifi, fantasy and steampunk as genres.

Got this as a recommendation. Very much looking forward to it. Spike Milligan's writing is hilarious.

I found this book at DriveThroughFiction and the blurb appealed to me. I bought it. I love it. So many amazing ideas, moving through "verses", strange creatures and a really serious battle of forces. I loved it.

WELCOME ABOARD!
Why pick one holiday destination when you can see a whole solar …
This book is fabulous. Laughter from the start until the very end, at least for me.
Meet the crew and many passengers on the Xanadu, and the weird things that happen on an intergalactic cruise.
Aliens, humans (also aliens), bugs and ANDI will make this an unforgettable trip. If you like fun and laughter, get this book!
Volodya Voronin wanted to be a musician, but he's the only member of his family …
This is a very surprising read. A series of short(ish) stories, all based on Russian folklore. Meet Volodya Vorodin, a man who has to step in the shoes of a long line of women before him who were "witches"dealing with the spirit world and the afterlife.
Be surprised about the twists at the end of various stories. Laugh at some of the extremely funny parts, and may I quote:
"I reacted like any grown, Russian man would do. I screamed like a 4 year old girl..."
Discover what a hedgehog and a raven have in common. I can highly recommend this book.

After just a few pages in I was already laughing so hard!

This is the kind of over the top, weird fantasy I love. Gender changed person arrives in a world that's like a game location, fun poked at earth things, I almost couldn't stop reading!

Earth must be protected at all cost.
And that's why there's Gregory and his …
A fabulous sequel to the start of the series. You will call Ghostbusters for Ghosts, but count on Greg, Shivai and the team if you're facing a demon infestation. Fast paced, lots of action and all the other good things. Certainly recommended.

A fast and furious introduction to the realm of Terragon and the perils its citizens face, even when they're housed on Earth. Great pace, good characters despite the short read and very promising for the sequels.

A fabulously written story about a girl from the slums, who appears to have natural magic. Read about her attempts to hide from the magicians, who want to help her control that magic.
I'll stop here, because otherwise there will be spoilers.
Big book, big worth your time.

Follow along how people respond to it. How people work together - and against each other. Find problem after problem, and see people develop, regardless of race, species, conviction, etc.

Lindsay Buroker never fails to come true with her stories. Hard to write a review without spoilers, but... not all dragons are good dragons, and when your world suddenly gets infested by them, it's quite a battle to get rid of them. Add some magical swords in a world where magic is frowned upon, and the stage is set.

The sea levels are rising The climate is not what it was Florida has gone …
A scary view of the future, which might very well happen if our fearless leaders keep doing nothing about climate change.
Great characters and narrative, and a ray of hope seeps through after all.
