My personalised book subscription book came today. Amy - at Mr Bs Bookshop , consistently chooses me something interesting! This month something that‘s been on my peripheral vision but if Amy recommends it - I‘m game to try! Plus Madeline Milker calls it ‘absolutely stunning‘. #newfinds

Mitch What did you get this month @oryx? 2y

A book i finished on Sunday and immediately wanted to pick up and reread. Set in a fictional village Neverness it is suffused with magic and folklore in several interconnected stories. Incl waterbulls who ravage yng girls, a 16 yr old girl who makes a fiddle out of her parents secrets, a man with a wing for an arm, girls firing love notes into gorse, being flown like kites into the night sky, et al - full of love, imagination and magic. Loved it.

Cathythoughts A wing for an arm ♥️✨✨✨ 5y

Nine days away - first to Ibiza for a friend's wedding, then to Hay. All wonderful but action packed and so the train back to London is my first chance of getting more that a few minutes reading time in! Enjoying this collection of interconnected fairy tales set in Neverness.

TrishB Sounds like fun 👍🏻 5y

Buechersuechtling Your train ticket causes longing for vacation. My significant other and I, we often went to Great Britain so I have some similar tickets as a souvenir in my drawer. Hope you had a good time and a thrilling read. 5y

I chanced upon this book at the library and was so taken with the cover I had to bring it home. Set in the imaginary sea town of Neverness peopled with some very strange folk. Not a novel, rather a collection of stories with recurring characters and themes. Dark, tangled, filled with wistfulness, heartbreak, longing, and magic. Fairy tales for a new generation. Should be finishing this one up today.

#BookMail today was all three of my MIA Goldsboro BOTM books. This one was the pick for March. I do love their books, all come signed, most are first editions & limited edition & also come with sprayed edges too a lot of the time. This book is about an island called Neverness on which magical things occur. I‘ve heard it reads more like a short story collection about one place than it does a cohesive novel. We shall see.💁🏻‍♀️

laurieluna For me is was like lots of short stories, with some characters interwoven. It is very well done and I enjoyed it immensely! 6y

Wow. This was such a great read. Still not 100% sure what to make of it but it is definitely a pick. I loved that it was lots of little stories all set in the same village community. I don't think I've read anything like that before. Full of folklore and magic, each story follows a villager through an important moment in their life. The stories are chronological and it follows one generation from youth to kids of their own. Amazing read.

Heatherfeather I've never heard of this and you made it sound awesome! 6y
laurieluna @Heatherfeather it's really good! Very dark and strange. I 100% recommend 😊 6y

Attempting to tackle some of my TBR. I put this on my April reading list. Glad I did, it's a bizarre read but I'm really enjoying it. So far each chapter has been a short story about one the residents of Neverness, a small fishing village. Intrigued to see where it all leads!

Book mail! I have been reading a lot of nature and folkloric fiction lately, and I‘ve been gravitating towards work set in the British countryside. I‘m eager to break into my latest import from Zoë Gilbert - look at that cover! And the John Adams book is the latest addition to my ever expanding Library of America collection...even though they only seem to send me titles from the early 1800s. I guess they know I have a #brand ? #readwomen

A remarkable collection of closely linked tales that blend Manx folk traditions, the realism of rural life. It reads like a poem and an incantation and fairly thrums with magic and danger. The prose is glorious and the tales themselves are totally absorbing as the characters drift in and out and we see the world reflected through their eyes and themselves reflected in the eyes of others. This is really something special.

This book is #amazing. I requested it on Netgalley based on that gorgeous cover, and it did not disappoint. It's not out until February, but I know I will be buying myself a copy. If you are at all into folklore or magical realism, and stories that are dark and sad and wondrous, this is for you.
