On This Day In History
1936: Shirley Temple receives $50,000 per film

Quote Of The Day
"Make-believe colours the past with innocent distorion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways in science, in politics, in every bold intention."
(Shirley Temple)

Thorughly enjoying the second book in Jay Kristoff's Nevernight series. I put the first book into our school drop and swap bookcase and another teacher enjoyed it so much that he purchased Godsgrave and then passed it on to me. He also enjoyed Kristoff's Empire Of The Vampire after I put that into the drop and swap and he is now reading the second book in that series after recently purchasing. I am very excited about reading that after I finish reading Godsgrave.

He is a big fan of the Game Of Thrones books and he has been hinting that I should try reading them for quite a while. I asked him today if he has any that he could lend to me but he said he only has the fifth book. There should be another big English book sale at Books Kinokuniya soon so I will try to buy some of George R.R. Martin's books then.

Happy to see on the cover of Godsgrave that Starburst is still in publication. Throughout my childhood and my teenage years, I had a standing order at the newsagent shop on my street for Starburst, 2000A.D. and Space Flight News, while my brother had one for Warlord and Commando. The stories that wove the tapestry of my past still resonate now and profoundly influence the warp and weft of the future.
