Upcoming reviews

So, I've just finished two books that I've wanted to read for quite a while, so I'm going to take my time with the reviews since I have something to say about both of them. The first one should be up by Friday. And no, I didn't read them both at the same time. I finished one before the weekend and one during. Presenting to you;

Joe Abercrombie's Red Country UK cover!

Damn I love these Abercrombie covers! And I can't wait for this book. Bring on the Bloody Nine.
