Test Print

March Book Wrap Up

Image
I doubt I will finish any more books/graphic novels this month so here is what I managed to read in March. Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds My rating: 3 of 5 stars I think Reynolds is one of those authors you either like or you don't.

For awhile next to that basket there was a cardboard cut out of Pinhead from Hellraiser . Scared a few people when they went up the stairs :p
