Visited Louisa May Alcott at the National Portrait Gallery.
I just finished Circe and I think it‘s one of my favorite reads of the year. Beautiful prose and a fresh take on Greek mythology.
I‘m so excited to have the chance to read an advance copy of Song of the Dead. Another gorgeous cover for this series!

"We arrived in an undignified heap of witch and vampire."
Kicking off October with my First Lines of Literature mug and a great first line from Shadow of Night.
A fast-paced read with an interesting theory about how superheroes are created ... and how they become villains.
This book! Easily my favorite of the month and the first one I've reread in a long time. It's so much fun to go back to the "hate" part when you know where they end up.

The beginning was a little slow and Carry On was very different from Rainbow Rowell's other books, but I still enjoyed it. After the first few chapters I sailed through the story.
Fantastic prose. I read this book in one day. Loved the spooky atmosphere and the unreliable narrator.
