📖 London Under: The Secret History Beneath the Streets by Peter Ackroyd

Well, Amazon did not deliver the book I wanted today, so I found this in my house. Something has to scratch the book habit itch that I‘ve started in the last few months… Not sure where it came from, but I‘m not mad at it. So far it‘s giving Alice in Londonland. 50 pages in and I‘m intrigued.

Where I delve deep into the Underground in London and find a library. Thanks to Kate Thompson for uncovering The Little Wartime Library

My inner geek loved this history of the London Underground, my favourite read of February

I don‘t know how long it‘s taken me to read this, but it‘s been a LONG while. It‘s spent a lot of time between my place and the library but I liked it so much I didn‘t want to give up on it, and I‘m glad I didn‘t. I just loved the story and the fantastical world that Gaiman created.

I'm not sure if it was the writing or the translation that felt a bit weak, and maybe the romance was a bit too much for me but this was just an average 3-star read for me.

Just finished Neverwhere again, it‘s like my 4th time. The audio read by the author is just, perfection. Perfect for fall, I‘m channeling those vibes… Its sweltering in Texas right now y‘all. We are not ok. 🔥
