@Luke-XVX on Litsy

I‘d like to close out the year on 85 books read but my enthusiasm is waning and I‘ve been slowly plodding through chunky ass fantasy stories-procrastinating on here won‘t help either. But here we are.

Eclectic pick ups from the library yesterday. (No purchases from me on Gaiman titles anymore, so my Miracleman fix will probably end with this release unless the library can get subsequent volumes)

The Masquerades of Spring: The Brand New Rivers of London Novella | Ben Aaronovitch

Saturday purchases. I‘m in the tiniest of minorities with not liking Piransei at all, so let‘s see if I enjoy this. I believe I‘m two books behind with ROL so I have more catching up to do.

The House on the Borderland | William Hope Hodgson

Another new pickup!

Bookwomble 😍 One of my favourite books - I have it in three editions already, so I've already told myself I don't need a fourth! Gotta stay strong 💪😒📖 2mo

Luke-XVX @Bookwomble ashamed to say I‘ve never read it! I believe it‘s part of Appendix N so I figured with this new edition I should rectify that! I picked up The King In Yellow in this new series edition yesterday too 2mo

Bookwomble @Luke-XVX The King in Yellow is also marvellous: a different feel to Hodgson, and probably a bit more literary, but I love them both. The 5 books in the Penguin Weird Fiction series have great covers, but Claimed! by Bennett is the only one I'd need for my library, and I'll add it at some point. The anthology edition, Weird Fiction, weirdly has few stories in it I'd class as belonging to the Weird genre, though they're good horror/ghost stories. 2mo

Luke-XVX I already have a HC of Algernon Blackwood stories I picked up last year so I‘ll get into that before I commit to the whole set. Those covers though…! 2mo

Luke-XVX I‘d be interested in doing a deep delve into these titles- I can imagine there‘s some great pulpy covers @Bookwomble 2mo

Bookwomble I realised I was writing you an essay! Suffice to say, there are some fantastic examples of artwork on past editions of these books 😊 2mo

Bookwomble PS. In case you're not familiar with it, the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB) is a great resource which holds images of cover art for most editions falling inside the genre 😊 Link, and I'll stop now! 😄 https://www.isfdb.org/ 2mo

Luke-XVX @Bookwomble haha it‘s all good. I‘ll definitely check that out. Thank you. There‘s a few podcasts I listen to that will probably have referenced these books so I won‘t feel too out of my depth haha 2mo

Bloom | Delilah S. Dawson

I didn‘t realise it was a horror romance but I‘m surprised at how good it is so far. It won‘t hurt to come out of my comfort zone!

TieDyeDude She is one of my favorite Star Wars writers. I need to explore more of her other work. 2mo

Luke-XVX @TieDyeDude any standout SW books of here you‘d recommend ? It‘s been awhile since I dived into that IP 2mo

TieDyeDude She has a loose duology of Phasma and Black Spire, and Rise of the Red Blade is her newest. I enjoyed them all. I liked the way Phasma fleshed out that character and introduced one of my favorite characters, Vi Moradi. Black Spire is probably my favorite, though. It continues Vi's story. 2mo

Luke-XVX @TieDyeDude thanks! I‘ll see what I can get at my local library! 2mo

TieDyeDude Have you read it before? I\'ve heard mixed reviews, but I agree, that is an excellent cover. 2mo

Luke-XVX @TieDyeDude I haven‘t! My last Barker was Mister Be Gone and they didn‘t really deliver for me. I‘ve just been after this cover for a long time! 2mo

In the wild (Waterstones near the British museum )

Bookwomble I remember it when it was Dillon's. I used to love shopping there, then onto Gosh! Comics for my monthly order, pop into the museum for a wander and a wonder, maybe a quick browse in the Atlantis Bookshop, and lunch in a noodle or sandwich bar. Happy days! 😊 3mo

Luke-XVX @Bookwomble I can remember hitting up the old Gosh a few times! (Was in the new location yesterday!) Doing the rounds with my pals, Comics showcase, then orbital, orcs nest then all the record shops in soho. Those days of disposable income haha 3mo

Bookwomble @Luke-XVX Yeah, Comics Showcase, too, and World of Comicana, and Forbidden Planet when it was on New Oxford Street. I'd wander up Charing Cross Road for bookshops if I had any space left in my rucksack! There were so many cultural opportunities I neglected due to having a particular circuit! Those days of space on my bookshelves! 😄 3mo

Luke-XVX @Bookwomble haha I know exactly what you mean. My route doesn‘t often deviate either. I definitely do plan my trips out on based on good indie bookshops, comics shops, a decent health food shop! 3mo
