A world without rape

Posted on May 6, 2018 by

This week it appears I reached my fill of misogynistic societies. I don’t mean in the real world (although I’ve definitely had enough of misogyny there, too), but in fictional worlds. I’ve read several fae books lately (CN Crawford, I’m … Continue reading →

How do you find good books?

Posted on March 4, 2018 by

For all its much vaunted “algorithms” I hate trying to find something new to read on Amazon. If I’ve got the title, or the name of a favourite author, yep, it’s a doddle to find a good book. But if … Continue reading →

Meeting old friends again

Posted on February 18, 2018 by

I’ve been knee-deep in a very sticky first draft for most of this week (second-book syndrome; it has been kicking my backside), so reading time has been limited. Imagine my joy on Thursday evening when I finally got to write … Continue reading →

Posted on January 28, 2018 by

Thank goodness for novellas this week, because if it weren’t for short books I’d have almost nothing to report! I stumbled upon the entirely excellent Dragon’s Thief by Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds (I agree, I do seem to have … Continue reading →

Being short’s a good thing, right?

Posted on January 21, 2018 by

Well, this week was another gorgeous reading week. I went straight from Sea and Sand to another new release, The Reprisal, by Kelly St Clare. This is the finale in her The After trilogy, and I’ve been waiting impatiently since … Continue reading →

Loving the end of the world

Posted on January 14, 2018 by

Almost nothing happened.

Posted on December 24, 2017 by

I am a dreadful insomniac. I would love to find something that could make me drop off to sleep and stay that way until a decent hour of the morning, but until I do, I just consider the hours of … Continue reading →
