My review for Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Törzs is now up on @TheFantasyHive “Buzzing with atmospheric prose, charismatic characters and a cryptic plot, Ink Blood Sister Scribe sumptuously bleeds magic from every page.” Link: https://t.co/OLu0UTva5N https://t.co/UkTKdfSbEy

What are you reading & are you enjoying it? I’m 100 pages into A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross. A mythical island in Scotland, ghosts & faes, & mysterious disappearings. I love it! Also 600 pages into Heir of Novron by Michael J Sullivan - it’s become my fave of the series! https://t.co/84DEpzuvNY

My review for Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is now up on @TheFantasyHive “Clarke won me over with her elegantly crafted prose, Piranesi’s endearing characterisation and the labyrinth of wonders of her World.” Link: https://wp.me/p8ZX5L-3qN @BloomsburyBooks @Ros_Ellis @LauraNMeyer https://t.co/YH0cU3s6CC

I finished And Put Away Childish Things by Adrian Tchaikovsky yesterday & it was gloriously entertaining! Review to come next week If you’re looking for two short reads that are hilariously bonkers but also thought-provoking I highly recommend these by @aptshadow @Solarisbooks https://t.co/kON956FQoS

I’ve just finished A Spindle Splintered by @AlixEHarrow This is a reimagining of sleeping beauty which I never knew I needed, but I’m so glad we got! Harrow writes the most beautiful prose, every sentence holds so much depth & meaning. Gushing review by Beth & I to come soon! https://t.co/5fNRAofPlS

How are your first reads of 2023 going? I’m loving The Whispering Muse by Laura Purcell & Rise of Empire by Michael J Sullivan. Both very different but fantastic! Also on my Jan TBR- The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by SA Chakraborty & The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai https://t.co/gvHp0k33VH

I finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir & wow it was such fun! I already love the film but Watney’s sarcastic & bantery narrative voice in the book was PERFECT! I was always really nervous for him! 😂 If you’ve read/watched The Martian tell me something you love about it? https://t.co/pXSV28TkE7
