Love consultations, cook-offs, magic-item exhibitions, and more...I already had my "hands" full with requests from the people of Clearflow Lake, and now Captain Kerioyl and his Menagerie of Fools have roped Lammis, Hulemy, and me into some sort of investigation! But after a series of unfortunate events, I've gotten separated from Lammis and find myself all alone in an area far deeper than I've ever been before! Something tells me I have another major battle ahead...What's a vending machine to do?!

One moment, a certain salaryman is on cloud nine, that promotion finally within his grasp, and the next, he’s keeled over pain, and that was all she wrote. Luckily for him, fate had a bit more to say. A world of magic, monsters, and other such life-shortening entities await his newly reincarnated self for a second shot at life. With nothing but his past-life experiences and sharp business skills to guide him in the foreign lands of Galdardia, he takes up the name Luciel and vows that his (next) demise will be from naught but old age. And what better way to avoid a(nother) gruesome death, than by taking up a nice, cushy job as a healer? But getting by in another world doesn’t come easy, or cheap. It’ll take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to hone the skills he needs to make his way. But make it he will...or die (again) trying!

Dragonslayer is the fourth epic instalment in the death-seeking saga of Gotrek and Felix. After the daring exploits in Daemonslayer, the fearless duo find themselves pursued by the insidious and ruthless skaven-lord, Grey Seer Thanquol. Drogonslayer sees the fearless Trollslayer and his sworn companion back aboard the arcane dwarf airship in search of a golden hoard - and its deadly guardian! New edition with stunning redesigned cover!

Insidious. That's what this is. Like that packet of sweets that, once you've started... I don't know why, but it took me up to this book, which is book 5 in the series, to realize that there is virtually no character development as far as Gotrek is concerned. This makes perfect sense, since, though the story does not make use of a first person narrative, it is told from the viewpoint of the rememberer, Felix Jaeger. Gotrek remains an enigma. I can't remember ever getting a glimpse of what goes on inside his head. Felix, on the other hand, is another story. His metamorphosis from the almost effeminate poet in the first book to battle hardened warrior-poet (if you will) and heroic swordsman has been handled deftly and expertly over the continuation of the series. Beastslayer opens with the siege of Praag by the massive chaos army assembled under Arek Daemonclaw. This plot line is an overflow from book 4, Dragonslayer. The sense of brooding menace King instills in this installment is truly impressive. Overall there isn't all that much that sets this novel apart from its predecessors, but I really enjoyed reading it. It's just a cracking read, what. The story itself involves war between the chaos army, and the army of Kislev, with some subplots about treachery and other ditties to keep things juicy. Once again, the supporting characters are a treat. Snorri Nosebiter being one I especially enjoy. Be warned though: it is a rather grim and gory piece of work, although not especially more so than the rest of the series.Warhammer fans should leave with smiles plastered on their faces, wondering how their heads got shaven and tattooed.

Generations ago, violence was banned on New Earth. Society is governed and conflicts are resolved in the arena of a fantasy computer game, Epic. Everyone plays. If you win, you have the chance to go to university, get more supplies for your community, and fulfill your dreams; if you lose, your life both in and out of the game is worth nothing. When Erik, seeking revenge for the unjust treatment of his parents, dares to subvert the rules of Epic, he and his friends find themselves up against with the ultimate masters of the game: the Committee. If Erik and his friends win, they may have the key to destroying Epic's tyranny over New Earth. But if they lose . . .\

 With its setting of a fantasy MMORPG, Epic is an early example of LitRPG

Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out onto the floor when he caught a sudden thin ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to be sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!Whisked from his comfortable hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

Thud and blunder in the best possible sense of the term.As in the previous volume (Trollslayer), this is structured as a collection of longish short stories; unlike in Trollslayer, there's a much stronger linkage between the stories.After the events of the previous book, our heroes Gotrek Gurnisson, trollslayer-at-large, and his traveling companion/amanuensis Felix Jaeger (excerpts from whose book form the headers for each of the chapters) have come to the city of Nuln. Unfortunately, so have the Skaven, Warhammer's race of rapacious, intelligent, chaos-tainted humanoid rats, led by the Grey Seer Thanquol. Needless to say, when our heroes and the Skaven first run into each other (while Gotrek &amp; Felix, in what one hopes to be a career low point, are working as part of an anti-monster patrol in the noisome depths of Nuln's sewers), neither side is too happy about it. Fortunately, the Skaven are, in addition to their other charming qualities, riven by internecine squabbles, and if one clan can use Gotrek's axe &amp; Felix's sword to grind another clan to bloody gobbets, so much the better ...

Fresh from their adventures battling the servants of the rat-god in Nuln, Gotrek and Felix are now ready to join an expedition northwards in search of the long-lost dwarf hall of Karag Dum. Setting forth for the hideous Realms of Chaos in an experimental dwarf airship, Gotrek and Felix are sworn to succeed or die in the attempt. But greater and more sinister energies are coming into play, as a daemonic power is awoken to fulfil its ancient, deadly promise.

They didn’t have my paperback as an option on GR at this time so here’s mine! Because I’m weird that way. I love these two characters and others in the book! Mel

It's the late 1980s. Twenty-seven year old Wall Streeter Patrick Bateman travels among a closed network of the proverbial beautiful people, that closed network in only they able to allow others like themselves in in a feeling of superiority. Patrick has a routinized morning regimen to maintain his appearance of attractiveness and fitness. He, like those in his network, are vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal and competitive, always having to one up everyone else in that presentation of oneself, but he, unlike the others, realizes that, for himself, all of these are masks to hide what is truly underneath, someone/something inhuman in nature. In other words, he is comprised of a shell resembling a human that contains only greed and disgust, greed in wanting what others may have, and disgust for those who do not meet his expectations and for himself in not being the first or the best. That disgust ends up manifesting itself in wanting to rid the world of those people, he not seeing them as people but only of those characteristics he wants to rid.

In a fantasy world of opposing kingdoms, a 15-year-old girl named Helena who works at the family circus with her father and mother, who wishes--quite ironically--that she could run away from the circus and join 'real life'. But such is not to be the case, as she finds herself on a strange journey into the Dark Lands, a fantastic landscape filled with giants, Monkeybirds and dangerous sphinxes. She must find the fabled MirrorMask in order to save the kingdom and get back home.

In 1954, up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he thinks he's been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Three scientists at the Foundation for Psychiatric Research fail to secure a device they've invented, the D.C. Mini, which allows people to record and watch their dreams. A thief uses the device to enter people's minds, when awake, and distract them with their own dreams and those of others. Chaos ensues. The trio - Chiba, Tokita, and Shima - assisted by a police inspector and by a sprite named Paprika must try to identify the thief as they ward off the thief's attacks on their own psyches. Dreams, reality, and the movies merge, while characters question the limits of science and the wisdom of Big Brother.
