I enjoyed this so much! This is magic meets procedural, dry (sometimes blokish) humour mixed with evocative descriptions of the city and its inhabitants. I am hooked and will definitely read the other books in the series

Finally some time for summer reading!

I liked this precisely because it sometimes hit a little too close too home. Claire is a funny anti-heroine of a narrator, looking at relationships and life in London through the (vicious and astute) lens of a quarter-life crisis

Pros: Some good dialogue and amusing over-the-top characters. Cons: the pacing was off and I did not find the killer's motive all that convincing

I joined the Asymptote Book Club and just received my first book surprise! (It sounds very meta but interesting)

Hello Litsy, I still don't know you very well, but I was wondering if you could help me out and suggest some books. Books you loved, books you got lost in. I have been stuck in a rut for way too long and I'm trying to give this app a proper go now!

@Heideschrampf just gave me a School of Life Literary Criticism Pencil Set! A gift that warrants a pic after four months of silence

Slow progress. This book is intense and I need regular breaks from it! I've been reading the first two sections on my commute and they literally made me gasp on the tube. I did not expect such visceral (emotional) violence. Does anybody have any tips for something light-hearted to read next?

Secondary reading for my thesis. It turns out bingewatching 'Friends' was relevant to my studies
