I hate rocket, would sub for cress or lamb's lettuce, but otherwise this looks delicious and I think I'll be giving it a try. Great job!

Looks like Sparnies is the shop name (it's based in a place called Leamington Spa). No sign of chips sadly.

Sarnie is indeed slang for a butty

Sounds great, and now I know what sausage gravy is I will be trying it myself, thanks!

Jeremy Corbyn, 2019 UK election. He lost due to several factors but especially sabotage from within his own party and a corrupt media. Apparently it's all well documented in this 3 part series though I've never had the heart to watch it.

I read the first one many years ago but still look back on it fondly, I read the second earlier this year and thought it was excellent. I'm planning to read the third sometime soon. Definitely worth checking out if you're wanting a classic example of the genre, but again very different to an Abercrombie book.

If you're wanting more things like First Law you'll want to look into the grimdark side of the genre, or just keep going with Joe since he has 2 more series in the same world that follow up the first trilogy.

Hobbit is a classic but it's about as far from a Joe Abercrombie book as you can get. How're you finding Last Argument of Kings?

If I felt guilty pretty much all my interests could count - pro-wrestling, minecraft, pokemon, fantasy novels, superhero comics, animation, scifi shows - fortunately I don't care.

Your "To Be Read" list, that is. Tell us what's near the top or share the whole thing if you like. I'm nosy and like seeing what books people are excited about.

 

And how are you liking it?

I'm working my way through Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett and it's solid so far, lots of fun, very compelling. I'm not the fastest reader but I'm already halfway done after just a few days.
