T. Kingfisher is one of my favorites. I get her humor. This was a dark fairy tale that was also humorous and sentimental. It was creative and imaginative. I really appreciated the faithful guardian geese.

I loved this book. Keeping in the fantasy genre it was a perfect read for the end of this crazy year.
This book is so good. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

T. Kingfisher is fast becoming one of my favourite authors so I‘m super happy to finally have a copy of her latest in my hot little hands!!

Thank you so much Allissa! I‘ll save the advent calendar for next year - but will be sure to share the contents - it‘s so pretty!

Thanks for hosting #AussieSecretSanta @CarolynM !

And Merry Christmas to all!

Finally! A five star read. I was beginning to wonder if I was the problem. Everything I read this Autumn had some flaws that turned them into obstacle courses I had to drag myself over to finish. So just the sheer pleasure of being able to read a book fluently from start to finish makes this a pick, but its also so good!

Honestly I think every woman over 30 should try T Kingfisher and this would be a great place to start with her.

1. I was in a fun musical version of “Dune,“ so I'm going to wear my fremen costume. Will probably be the closest I've ever gotten to recognizable cultural relevance for Halloween. 😂

2. A Sorceress Comes to Call was very creepy but balanced with positivity, so more up my alley than total horror.

Ready for the perfect October read? Cordelia has always been controlled by her mother. When they move into a rich man‘s house she starts to realize what true friends feel like. It‘s like a grownup version of Ella Enchanted. Hester, the rich man‘s sister is my fav! She‘s clever & sassy & her fear of losing her independence feels so real. This one wasn‘t as scary as I was worried it would be, but it‘s just creepy enough to be perfect right now.

A teen in literal thrall to her mother and a middle-aged woman fearing for her susceptible brother work together to fight their extraordinarily powerful enemy. An almost unbearably anxious read, but the horror is well balanced with kindness, comradeship, and love. (There's an understated but very tender romance.)

This was my first T. Kingfisher story and I really enjoyed it. It‘s a simple story that would be fun to co-read with a tween.
