The weekend is almost over and I trust you have enjoyed it.  I spent too much time in the North Queensland sun at a pineapple festival, which included a pineapple pirate pantomime, quite bizarre. Anyway, I'm still making my way through The Dinosaur Lords  but am sorely tempted to put it aside to start on the new Carson Mach novel, The Terminal War which was released this weekend.  I've just recieved my copy but haven't started yet.  However I will go out on a limb and say it will be a good read.  Pick it up now from Amazon for 99 cents Whatever you're doing this weekend I hope you are able to spent a few moments with your favourite beverage and a good read.  I've been enjoying my default brew this weekend, an espresso.  (pictured left).

Hi all, Good news this week, I've happy to read that my 2 favourite Sci-Fi shows of 2015 (Dark Matter and Killjoys) are being renewed for a second season.  I really enjoyed the story telling in both and delving into what motivates each character to act the way they do.  If you can find them they are worth the viewing.  This weekend I'll be continuing The Dinosaur Lords , it's been a good read so far, if not a bit confusing with all the characters, Spanish-style titles and NSFW parts.  Anyway sit back with your favourite beverage and enjoy a good read this weekend...  This one looks interesting.
