I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, I was always in the school library when I was younger and all throughout school. When I grew up my love for reading just got better as I now had the money to buy more books. When I had kids I think I should…
Growing up I loved to read, as I still do. One of my favourite series from that time is the Dyason Series written by Warren Palmer. It consists of three books : Minds of the Empire Dominator Third Player The books follow Moss Pendragon as he escapes the ruins of London after an alien…
