Looking forward to this one.

Crazy useful and easy to understand.

Spellbinding.

There are gems here and it's a quick read but there's a lot of fluff and BS to sift through to get to them.

The art is incredible and there are some well done (and disturbing!) moments of body horror. But there isn't much progression or arc for the characters.

It also fails to answer the question: why not leave? Or rather it does but not until 500 pages in, which by that point is frustrating.

Every volume of Saga finds a way to blow me away.

A good read. The protagonist spends the first third or so being a bit of a jackass, but the story is so good. A fun blend of technology and mythology.

Great world building, but also contains repetitive description, sparse tension, and a dissatisfying conclusion. Not for me.

The Laundry series continues to be great fun.

I'm a big fan of Laurie Penny's nonfiction. This is my first foray into reading her fiction and I was not disappointed.

A promising concept but really needed more editorial love.

A good read and reimagining of the Horror at Red Hook. There's a distracting shift in POV in middle of this that almost threw me off.

A satisfying end to the trilogy. Like the second book, this one starts off slow, but once it gets into gear it's impossible to put down.

I enjoyed this. Characters were not as vivid as in her other books but I'm intrigued about the rest of the series.

Reading in the hotel bar. Key lime pie, an old fashioned, and the history of credit and coinage systems. Oddly it all flows together.

I intended to only read a few chapters before bed but ended up reading the whole thing. Great story that maintains a thriller's pace throughout. I thought the characters were a little simplistic but this is a book geared at younger audiences.

"Josh loved his mother but he did not know why.
Diane loved her son and she did not care why."

I have mixed feelings on this one. There are some beautiful moments in this book, and I'm a huge fan of the podcast. But I'm not sure if the goofy strangeness of Night Vale is as effective in the book. To a certain extent the lovely weird gems feel more distraction than enhancement.

Loved everything about this book. The souls of the musical and Lin Manuel Miranda shine through.

A brilliant follow up to his amazing City of Stairs. This series continues to get better with each volume.

A disappointment. The subject matter is interesting to me but this was in dire need of an editor.

Magical and lovely. A delightful read.

Loved this book. The book is simultaneously a love letter to Lovecraft's work while also an indictment of the man himself. It takes the dangers of Jim Crow era racism and blend it with eldritch dread until it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.

Loved this book. I devoured it in one sitting.
