Here’s my January reading Wrap-Up My favourite read was The Blackfire Blade by @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social - a fun fantasy sequel that I adored by the end! My most surprising read was The Luminous Faeries and Mothra which is a Japanese translated novella on the origins of Mothra.

Our beloved cat Leo is gone, hit by a vehicle. Leo was a brilliant person. Insatiably curious, always eager for the next adventure, eternally optimistic. He made my life better every single day, and we thought he’d have so many more days. I don’t have the words to describe how much I will miss him 💔

So, the next book to read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. This is book 2 in the series. I'll be reading an eARC, which I received from Netgalley. I hope that it's as good as The Silverblood Promise. And, if it is, I'll need to get a paperback copy of it. 😀 @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social

This is a beautiful novel that charts the lives and experiences of two women across past, present and future as they fight for our environment's future. Heartbreaking but ultimately - and importantly - hopeful. Also, wolves. 🐺

I found that sending the manuscript to my Kindle and reading it on there really helps me spot passages that don't work, along with continuity errors and typos. I also print the first pass out (when it's typeset after the copy edit) and read it out loud. Slow and tedious, but hugely valuable.

Space Wolves Codex 2nd edition. I 'read' it in a silent reading English lesson and got thrown out by the supply teacher who called it - and I quote - 'perverted rubbish'. Anyway, I've had a fifteen-year editorial career publishing 'perverted rubbish' and now I write it, too. So I guess I win.

The book "Blood of the Old Kings" by Sung-Il Kim and translated by Anton Hur. A woman with a burning eye reaches for a black and red sword. Behind her a many-eyed dragon coils into the sky.

I'm reading EJ Swift's - genuinely extraordinary - forthcoming new novel, WHEN THERE ARE WOLVES AGAIN. It's the sort of work I'd like to see show up on the Booker, rather than Clarke, shortlist, full of wonderful moments, beautiful writing, message and heart. You should go order it, I'm saying.
