The Fall of Númenor: And Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-Earth

J. R. R. Tolkien

Yvonne Marjot

The first of many joys in my brand new copy of The Fall of Númenor. From one of Tolkien's letters: "The [story] cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." Permission from the heart of the story. https://t.co/Mb2qTRa1bH

The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Neil Gaiman

Yvonne Marjot

@SeaGoatScreams @bjohnsonauthor @neilhimself I love Nation. My favourite of all Pratchetts. My fave Neil Gaiman is The Ocean at the End of the Lane, in part because it reminds me of a short story that gave me nightmares as a child and that I can neither remember nor get completely out of my head.

Islands of the Evening: Journeys to the Edge of the World

Alistair Moffat

Yvonne Marjot

@bertsbooks In solidarity with some librarians in the US, I'm reading a swag of Nora Roberts thriller/romances. I'm also reading Islands of the Evening by Alistair Moffat, to cleanse my palate. It's about the history of all the different monastic lineages in the west of Scotland. https://t.co/3wj9JBWz7r

Iron Widow (Book 1)

Xiran Jay Zhao

Yvonne Marjot

My last book of 2022 will be my first book of 2023. Heading to bed at 10.30pm to start Iron Widow by @XiranJayZhao, which popped up in my timeline, not coincidentally, on Andrew Tate Day. It (the book) looks fab and I'm dying to read it. "The Handmaid's Tale meets Pacific Rim." https://t.co/oL5Nr1jC7E
