Light horror, not quite fantasy. A girl, a witch and small town politics. There are some great things in this book. The genuine hatred of the rejected boy. The conflict of power, truth and conscience. And then there’s an undercooked romance plot, thin characters and too many threads. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

Oyinkan Braithwaite’s My Sister, the Serial Killer is a fun read about serious topics. All the ways women are powerless and some of the ways they are powerful… 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

A very sweet book about loving and grieving and the multitude of unknowns of life. It’s slow and a little bit sad. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

“Act like a fucking princess - how they loved her, the men from the press - Give us a smile, cunt. And her blue eyes widened to take it all in: the flashbulbs, the half-mast flags, the acres of flowers, History's stinking breath in her face.” 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

It’s bee a while since I just read a book of poetry beginning to end. In Carol Ann Duffy’s Mean Time the everyday is put into beautiful, and cutting and clever words. “And we're all owed joy, sooner or later. The trick’s to remember whenever it was, or to see it coming.” 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

What a book. Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff is excellent. Every time you think you know what genre book you’re reading, she surprises you. Quick and unsentimental. Yet deeply empathetic. Hits like a Greek tragedy. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

I just finished Ken Liu‘s The Grace of Kings. It’s fast paced. Great world building. And a lot of plot. I enjoyed it. The ending left me with a feeling of utter contempt for war and the men who yearn for it. I think I need a break before I start the second one. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

On a wooden background: Ken Liu‘s The Grace of Kings. The cover shows mountains, the coast, with a castle, ships, a kite, a wolf above the mountains and large flowers.

47 pages and large print. Not enough to fulfil my greedy wishes for more writing by Claire Keegan. So Late in the Day is a dense character study of an Irish man. It’s about loving who you are (or not) and the ability to love others. Especially within patriarchy. More, please? 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

On a wooden background: Cover of Claire Keegan’s So Late in the Day. Besides author and title the cover shows (painted, rough strokes) a room corner with a light grey wardrobe.

Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson is an apologetic love letter, a therapy session and an indictment of racist societies. It’s beautifully written, almost poetry at times. It weaves in references to other texts as well as music and art. Short, yet expansive and poignant. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

Cover of Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson. The upper half shows a portrait of a black man, looking directly into the camera, tinted red. The Lower half show a woman, looking down, tinted yellow.

February was a bad month for reading. I managed three books. The cat got really sick out of nowhere and there’s fascism on the rise seemingly everywhere. Makes it hard to stick to a book, y’know? Even though escapism sounds lovely right now. Take care everyone. Happy reading. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

I just finished Naomi Novik’s A Deadly Education, which is about a school for magic teens, who are simultaneously protected by the school and in constant danger. Novik makes the complicated magic system an excellent exploration of how such powers would work in the world. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

On a wooden background: Naomi Novik’s novel A Deadly Education. A dark blue cover with the writing in a gold font. In the same gold there’s a book, a circle of the moon cycles and a magical eye.

Naima Coster’s novel What’s Mine and Yours depicts the impossibly complicated modern lives of two families. The characters that Coster creates are rich and complicated. No heroes. Some villains. Very readable. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

On a wooden background: Cover of What’s Mine and Yours by Naima Coster. Mainly orange with the title in yellow, two women are drawn in a minimalist style, walking away from each other. A black woman holding a small boy’s hand on the left and a a white woman, holding a girl’s hand, on the right.

I deleted the Youtube app off my phone, because I get sucked into watching shorts. For days I’ve taken my book in hand, ready to read, but instead stared into the phone for hours.

EM Forster’s Where Angels Fear to Tread is wonderfully written. There’s no attempt at finding a “proper” resolution. All are unhappy at the end and life goes on despite the passions of the young or moral philosophy of ancient times. There is no sense of justice or hope or desolation. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky

I can see why people like this. It’s dense and yet reads easily. It’s too apologetic about the use of violence for my taste. If nothing really matters, you can just as easily be kind. But that seems to be of no interest to Camus. At the centre of the text is violence. 💙📚 📖🦋 #booksky
