Greenteeth included everything I enjoy in a fantasy story - a great setting, mythology, the fae, a quest, and an endearing group of central characters. 💙📚 #BookSky #AmReading

I enjoyed it so much that I'd definitely read more by the same author. The new one sounds quite good so maybe that will be my next one.

Enchantra was another enjoyable book in the Wicked Games series. A murderous game, a family of characters forced to play against each other, and Genevieve arrives with no idea what's she getting into, but takes to the game quickly. #AmReading #BookSky 💙📚

Me too, I was totally taken in by a red herring with this so the solution was a complete surprise.

‘Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad’ (my cartoon for this week’s Guardian Books)

Title:
Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad

An eight-panel cartoon showing a writer in a series of situations in a foreign country.

Panel 1: looking at historic buildings saying
"Kia bela vilaĝo!" which is translated below as "What a lovely village!"

Panel 2: in a pretty garden asking the gardener "Ĉu ĉi tiuj estas venenaj" meaning "Are any of these plants poisonous?

Panel 3: in a bar asking the server “Kie oni povas aĉeti pafilon?" meaning "
Can one purchase a firearm nearby?"

Panel 4: on a beach asking a fisherman "Ĉu la tajdo povus forporti kadavron?" meaning "Could the tide carry a dead body away?"

Panel 5: approached by a police officer and saying "Saluton, oficiro." which is translated below as "Hello officer."

Panel 6: being marched to the police station protesting "Okazis miskompreno!" meaning "There has been a misunderstanding!"

Panel 7: in the interrogation room the officer holds up a moleskine notebook, the writer explains "La murdo en mia notlibro estas fikcia." meaning "The murder planned in my notebook is fictional."

Panel 8: locked in a cell asking "Mi ŝatus telefoni al la Brita konsulejo." which means "I would like to telephone the British consulate."

Note: The foreign language used by the writer in the cartoon is Esperanto. It has not been proofread by an Esperanto speaker so there may be errors.

Good Bad Girl was puzzling at first, with several threads but no indication as to how the characters were linked, if they were at all. All became clear as I read on, which made it a real page-turner 💙📚 #BookSky #AmReading
