I'm not sure if I've seen him mentioned here much but, Brian Lee Durfee is very ill and in hospital currently according to a Facebook post from his partner. Author of The Five Warrior Angels trilogy.

John Gwynne has The Fury of the Gods coming in October 24.

Just starting out on these following a recommendation I saw on Reddit. Wow... the books are outstanding!

I've read two of the novels and one novella so far. And I'm really enjoying the story so far.

Sad news today about the retirement of Stuart Hogg but obviously he has to do what is best for his health. What a great player he's been for Scotland and was often our only highlight in some dismal times.

I've liked the one by Anthony Horowitz, "The House of Silk" and "Dust and Shadow" by Lyndsay Faye. James Lovegrove has also written a few.

A bit more recent history but The Prisoner in His Palace by Will Bardenwerper is an excellent book that details the relationship between Saddam Hussein and his American doctor and army guards that watched over him during his trials.

Scotland the architects of our own downfall again. That line out

I enjoyed the TLOU 1 but gave up on part 2. I am looking forward to this though and seeing how it translates.

Liked this episode a lot and Paddy Considine was amazing. It was a lovely moment between the two brothers when he was climbing to sit on the throne. Also nice to see Otto smile a couple of times instead of just slinking about being sinister.

I liked the look and the wee nod between Harwin and Lyonel just before he got stuck into the fight. It may have been good though for there to have been a "moment" between Rhaenyra and Harwin after he put her down.

If I was Cole I mean. It doesn't really lend itself to lust.

Personally, I couldn't have been bothered taking all that armour off. Major mood killer!

Game was there for the winning and Scotland threw it away. Gutted.

I think that's the least effective I've ever seen an England team be. Scotland were comfortable all through the match.
