Thoughts: Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke
Honestly I could end this post at “Everything Susanna Clarke does is sublime and all her books are books I wish I’d written, and everyone is correct that Piranesi is great”. But I guess I won’t, because I love the … Continue reading
Thoughts: The Burning World, by Isaac Marion
I watched Warm Bodies at Sneak and read the book at my earliest convenience, and really liked it. Quirky zombie romance, full of heart and black humour, exploring the choices we make to be human. Later, I saw that there … Continue reading
Thoughts: The Girl of Ink and Stars, by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
I am officially back on the reading train. Choo choo. The Girl of Ink and Stars, as well as being a Thing of Thing and Thing title, is another book for younger readers, but a solid level younger than Orangeboy. … Continue reading

Thoughts: Modelland, by Tyra Banks
Oh boy was this a book. While I was reading it I kept track of many of my immediate thoughts in a large Twitter thread which you may enjoy! I am going to spoiler the hell out of this book, … Continue reading

Thoughts: Wagner the Werewolf, by George W. M. Reynolds
I’ve been meaning to get back around to writing my book thoughts for a while (let’s not talk about how long) but reading Wagner the Werewolf has been an irresistible lure to let myself get dragged back into it. In … Continue reading
Thoughts: The Fall of Gondolin, by JRR Tolkien
So. Been a while. Moving on. After frying my brain with Nnedi Okorafor in German, I tret myself to some pure comfort reading, going back to the start of my love affair with the speculative literary genres. When I was … Continue reading
Thoughts: Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Chris Riddell
This is sort of cheating, because I’d read it before, a long time ago, but hey, I didn’t tell anyone what I thought of it, so it still counts!
Thoughts: Promise of Shadows, by Justina Ireland
This book found its way onto my TBR list because a friend found it on Goodreads and the summary sounded like amazing, silly fun to fill the impending Kitty Norville-shaped hole in my life. I want to say it sounded … Continue reading

Thoughts: Clockwork Princess, by Cassandra Clare
Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey. I feel much better now that I’ve written out my feelings on this trilogy. Also, spoiler alert ahead. All the others had spoilers alerts too, but this is the finale so … Continue reading

Thoughts: Clockwork Prince, by Cassandra Clare
You’ll be glad to know that this is much shorter than my ramble on about Clockwork Angel. Most of what I said there still holds here, so let’s just take all that as a given. Now that we’re in the … Continue reading
