A light and cheerful read to start the year. .
This book is like the last witcher x French Arthurian x ruthless bloody vampires taking over the world

Oh I loved this book. I tore through it so quickly. The protagonist, Cara is a flawed, complicated character who i found myself absolutely rooting for. Social commentary. . Some of that hit pretty hard, yet even with the tougher themes it often tackled, it never lost its heart. Definitely a surprise favourite

Was mostly drawn to the cover. . But definitely a favourite read. A light read, even though it includes the Antichrist

Lile settling in for a good chat with a friend about life with anxiety and mental illness, with a few thoughts and tips scattered throughout

Definite lovecraftian influence, liked the concept of the sea-kissed

Beautiful, sombre and strange

A cynical voice, chopping between different times in the protagonists life to build up a picture

The library I work in has an adult summer reading challenge and I've challenged myself to complete two lines
I chose Steel Crow Saga as my 'book by an author you haven't read before' and it was an amazing start. Second and third books, bit more meh.

I listened to 'Chim Chim Che-ree' through the whole book and read it in one and a half days.
Enjoyed how Hill wrote his female protagonist. "I like the idea of being so big I can easily trample over lesser beings" - about being heavily pregnant. And obsessed with Mary Poppins. Spit spot.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. I was intrigued by the initial premise- children and teens who slip through doorways into different worlds and return changed - but then it turned into a murder-mystery. It really seemed to lack anything - heart and depth, perhaps. It didn't feel like it lived up to it's potential.

Working my way through this trilogy with the help of my cat Bre

Started reading the first page while in the bookstore and found myself in tears. I lived my teenage years in the Wheel of Time world.

I tend to read a lot of fantasy, but my reading gets more diverse when I'm working in a library, and here we have one about Syrian refugees travelling to safety. This book really struck me in places, though at times the alternate timelines annoyed me as I wanted to rush through the present timeline

"No one ever catches a rusalka. . We slip though their hands like water". .
The parts of the book about the Night Witches - female pilots bombing Nazis - are definitely my favourite parts
