Book Dragons

The Book Dragons are back! We talk about the books we've been reading in the last year. As well as story based games, comics and of course the obligatory Marvel tangent.

We somehow manage to have a conversation despite both of us being crazy tired. We cover Howl's Moving Castle, The Gospel of Loki, Marvel 1602, Runaways and this week's book news including the new Sherlock book.
