I have my Macbook back in my possesion, a consistently solid roof over my head (some hostels are <em>dodgy<\/em>) and certainly won&#8217;t have to be waiting for anymore trains!<\/p>\n<p>So what does this mean for you and <strong>A Dribble of Ink<\/strong>? Well, simply that things should be back to our regular broadcasting schedule!<\/p>\n<p>I took every chance I could to blog over there, but it just wasn&#8217;t enough to satisfy me. Now that I&#8217;m back home I&#8217;ve got a load of content I&#8217;m just itching to put together. This includes reviews of <strong>Altered Carbon<\/strong> by Richard Morgan, <strong>The Ten Thousand<\/strong> by Paul Kearney (a less formal review of my re-read) and <strong>Blood Ties<\/strong> by Pamela Freeman. It was certainly a damn good 9 weeks of reading for me, so keep an eye out for those reviews over the next couple of weeks.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThose <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/adribbleofink\">following me on Twitter<\/a>, will have noticed that I&#8217;ve started a re-read of Robert Jordan&#8217;s <strong>The Eye of the World<\/strong>. With the upcoming release of the final volume in series, written by Brandon Sanderson, I figure it&#8217;s about time for me to catch up on the series. Having read the first several volumes, my plan is to re-read the first three or so, Wikipedia the next few and then pick up where I left off (<strong>Path of Daggers<\/strong>, I do believe). I won&#8217;t be doing this back to back, because I want to keep the regular reviews coming as well, but rather I&#8217;ll be fitting in <strong>Wheel of Time<\/strong> novels between other novels. It will be the first time I&#8217;ve re-read any of the novels since I first read them back in High School, should be quite an experience!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got copies of Richard Morgan&#8217;s <strong>The Steel Remains<\/strong>, Peter V. Brett&#8217;s <strong>The Painted\/Warded Man<\/strong> and Brandon Sanderson&#8217;s <strong>Mistborn<\/strong> hanging around, which will probably consist the next few novels I&#8217;ll be picking up. I&#8217;m generally a bit whimsical with what I read, however, so that could certainly change in the next few days!<\/p>\n<p>If people are interested (leave a comment!), I&#8217;d certainly be happy to give everyone a little rundown of my journeys.
