Forge of Darkness - Steven Erikson. The first in the prequel Kharkanas trilogy. Published within a year of the last Malazan book - this from an author who said he "needed a break." Sorry Alex, but were he unmarried and I single, I'd probably willingly have his children. Good God can this m...

Started packing for BOA last night (I know, stupidly early) - I always feel more excited when I've started to sort the packing out

Haven't been there in YEARS. Loved the huge indoor ballpit/padded climbing thingy.
