The Picture of Dorian Gray
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable. Oscar Wilde is immensely quotable and witty, I’m sure you’ll all recognise some bits of his prose. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a…

#readathon: hour 13
Local time: 01:00 Hours spent reading: 12 Pages read: 966 Books finished: 3 This is the hour where I start bargaining with myself on whether or not I can have a snooze. I am definitely usually in bed, asleep, by now. It’s also eerily quiet,…

Memory of Water
Noria Kaitio is following in her father’s footsteps, like each generation before her, and is training to become a Tea Master. In a world where water is rationed, the tea ceremony is a privilege, and only the most important people will come to drink their…
Nimona
Nimona is so much fun but also pretty moving in places. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a supervillain and Nimona is a young sidekick looking for a position with a supervillain. Perfect! Except that Blackheart isn’t really looking for a sidekick, especially not a trigger-happy, shapeshifting…
