“You can’t handle the truth!”
I had to do it, didn’t I? Hopefully I can handle The Truth by Terry Pratchett, seeing as that’s what I’m currently reading.
As always with Discworld, the book is funny and enjoyable… and Artemis is not getting the feel at all. I think he went with “angry” and “murderous” instead.
Anyone else reading some great fantasy books out there?
The captain shot another look at his flailing men. “Magister Feryll. Care you explain to me why you’re here, using my men as dominoes, and not at your estate like I was informed?”
“At the time you were informed, I likely was at home,” Feryll said. “But events escalated a bit and we thought it better to relocate.”
“What happened?” Leya asked sharply.
“Death, destruction, abductions, general calamity,” Feryll said casually.
“Don’t forget the demonic summoning rituals,” Selissa reminded him.
“And demonic summoning rituals,” Feryll added.
So, yeah… During the last Smashwords sale back in December, I said I hoped Ghostly Scream would be published by the next time one of their sales rolled around.
I guess I jinxed myself.
But I’m still joining this year’s “Read an Ebook Week” with the rest of my books, so if you haven’t read them yet, now’s your chance. Remember that Smashwords has thousands of discounted, or even free, ebooks during the sale, so check out the rest while you’re at it!

“-and half of them are dead now!” an aggravated male voice said, too close for comfort. “I’m telling you, that man is a demon! How did they even catch him in the first place?”
Taelan glanced at her when it became clear who they were talking about and shot her a small grin, looking bizarrely pleased by the description.
Why do I get all the insane people? Selissa would have pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation if it wasn’t because her arms were trapped against said insane person and her nose was still very much broken. Oh, and if she wasn’t about to be killed.
I’m getting a lot more reading done ever since I started doing these posts. If only owl photos could improve my writing speed as well!
Next up on my reading list is Before the Storm by Christie Golden. It’s a media tie-in for World of Warcraft and I’m waaay behind on my WoW lore these days. I need to up my game if I want to stay the undisputed champion of World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit (yes, that’s a thing and I’m embarassingly good at it).
This book deals with the conflict that sparks the story in the latest expansion to the game, Battle for Azeroth, and seeing as the expansion has been out since last summer, it’s probably about time I figure out what’s going on.
Artemis clearly doesn’t understand what’s going on, but he’s looking suitably fierce in the photo (mostly because he doesn’t understand why I kept putting back the book he kept knocking over…)
