Reading challenges… a not-weekly check-in
So the 2024 Popsugar Reading Challenge has been published and it’s got a lot of very specific prompts, but having had a good look at it, a lot of those things fit books I wanted to read next year anyway….
Starling House
Eden is a mining town down on its luck, sat in the shadow of the Gravely’s coal power plant. The only thing it’s known for is the mysterious 19th century children’s author, E. Starling and the house she left behind….
Tower of London, Cities Skylines II and a lot of rain… a not-weekly check-in
November is the worst month to have a birthday, my weekend away in London was very nearly called off due to storms and flooding, but we made it! Our main aim was to eat at Dishoom, which was all very…
18 Books Involving Intelligence
One of my favourite prompts for next year’s ATY challenge is # 17. A book involving intelligence. Of course, for me the obvious choice is a book about AI, but the best part about this prompt is its flexibility, you…

On My Radar: October
October’s publishing schedule definitely has hints of Halloween to it with a few Christmas titles sneaking their way in. Some even manage to combine horror and festivies! There are still a few non-seasonal books coming out, and plenty I’d want…
Top Ten: Autumn TBR
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Autumn should really be about finishing off my reading challenges for the year, but alas there are all these new tempting things I want to read instead. I don’t think any…
Chatsworth, Scotland and a whole load of tarts… a not-weekly update
We had a little holiday to see my parents in the Scottish Borders, stopping off at a few places along the way. First stop was Oxford, since that was conveniently half way between home and our Airbnb for the next…
![[gifted] A Letter to the Luminous Deep is one of my most anticipated debuts for 2024. Magical, underwater, academia in epistolary format? Yes please! Thanks so much @gambit589 @orbitbooks_uk for the review copy.
