Hello Humans! I recently read and reviewed The Queen’s Rising as part of my Mini Reviews series. I was really glad I could read the first book from the Library before starting the sequel - the context is certainly needed for this book. The Queen’s Resistance is the second book in what I believe is... Continue Reading →

Dragon Heart, Peter Higgins – Book Review
Hello Humans! Now those who've been with me for a while, or those who follow me on Twitter will know that I have two loves, Dogs, and Dragons.
