Thero’s Recommended Reading: Steelheart.

With a lot of superhero films being released this year and the summer blockbusters coming out in cinemas, I thought now would be a good time to recommend a book all about people with superpowers, Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson.

Update: Dogsitting, Part 3.

Yep, I’ve been dogsitting again but this time it was for a good cause. It turns out I’m not the only one in my family who makes crazy challenges for themselves, my sister does it as well. I have to admit that her challenge was a little more ambitious than mine: she’s taking part in the London Marathon to raise money for The Children’s Society. Our parents went to go support her and I stayed with the dogs… I know who I think got the better part of the deal!

Update: Dogsitting, Part 2.

Well, last week didn’t go to plan, did it? My parents decided to go away for their anniversary, which meant a second round of dogsitting for Thero! Not that I mind, it just meant I didn’t get much chance to sit at my computer this week. This week, however, is a completely different story; as I actually have the whole week off work, which means the blogging (and gaming) can get back on track! The other thing I forgot to mention last week was on 5th April, The Reluctant Hero turned 3 years old! Admittedly, it wasn’t until about 18 months ago, that I started to give this blog the love and attention it deserved but I thought I’d let you guys know three years have passed since my first awkward posts.

June’s Reading Round-Up

June has been and gone, so its time for me to fill you guys in on the books I’ve read for the reading challenge!

Thero’s Recommended Reading: The Final Empire

This time round, I thought I’ll recommend an epic fantasy novel with a twist. The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson is the first book in the original Mistborn trilogy, which in turn are the first three books in the Mistborn series. A bit confuding, I know, but I hope you guys are still with me. If you are, then without further ado, let’s dive into why I recommend The Final Empire.

April’s Reading Round-Up

Wow, Thero is actually on time with her round-up post for once! I know, this must be a sign of the impending apocalypse. So while we wait for the end to come, let’s take a look at what I’ve been reading!
