#Malamander

This book is magic. It came into my life at the perfect time, precisely when I needed to read it. The charming little illustrations, and the creepily quaint inhabitants were a joy to see and imagine and spend time with. The book arrived just yesterday, and I've already finished a bit more than half of it and am now mourning the end. I thought the magic had gone out of December for me this year, but some of it has come back in with 'Malamander'. 🖤
Book: Malamander by Thomas Taylor.

I am excited to share the cover of my upcoming novel, The Doom Town Dummies, illustrated by Milena Bragina!
Colette Planchette talks to the dead using a supernatural sense of smell. This comes in handy, considering her best friend Lucian is a ghost. When the pair find themselves in a village of eerie shop-window dummies, the stench of danger becomes ever closer. Someone, or something, is watching...
OUT 19th SEPTEMBER 2023!

I love middle grade books, in fact I'm practically jealous of middle graders these days. All this representation, all these great plots, all this confidence to kick a bully's ass.
I've been reading alot of books recently in this area from a range of genres and here are a few books that aren't Nevermoor (I love Nevermoor do not get me wrong, I couldn't sleep after reading the ending of the last book released) and I think that anyone of any age could really get into.
King & The Dragonflies by Kacen Callender - (Comtemporary, LGBT, Magical Realism) I don't think you can read a more beautifully written book than this one. Beautifully crafted throughout with a plot that is heartbreaking and purposeful, the story of Kingston and his best friend are incredible to read and I would shove this book in the hands of anyone looking for a good book.
Malamander by Thomas Taylor (Fantasy, Mystery, Horror) - Malamander is such an incredible book and I am hoping to get to Gargantis soon and I'm sure that is just as good. The story of Herbert and Violet as they become friends and solve the mystery of the disappearance of Violet's parents, this book is an absolute joy and I really need to get on with reading the next book!
The Aveline Jones Series by Phil Hickes - (Mystery, Horror, Adventure) - I love this series so much and I will probably read whatever this author writes, this series is just that good. The stories of Aveline so far are captivating, gripping and left me hanging on the edge of my seat and I am a whole grownup, like an actual adult. Go read this series, it's so good. So good.
Adventures on Trains Series by M.G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman (Mystery, Adventure, Contemporary) - I do love trains, they are my nerdy Achille's Heel and these books all take place of trains. I read about train journeys and think I want a book on that train route, these books are just that good. I keep two next to me for the artwork which is incredible throughout these books. I just love these books so much, gripping, fun and always entertaining.
The Tea Dragon Society Series by Kay O'Neill (Fantasy, LGBT, Contemporary) - These are such beautiful graphic novels. The story of a found family, I would say who look after cute baby dragons and the characters as they learn about themselves. These stories are delivered with some of the most beautiful artwork that leaves you wanting to hang these books on your wall just to be able to take them in a whole new way. Probably my favourite graphic novels, these are a slice of joy.
I will probably do another one of these in the future! I think this really some where I would begin with reading, but as I delve deeper I will share more!
What are your favourites? Let me know!
Vee xo.

Neuerscheinungen im September 2022
We Spread von Iain Reid
Nach I'm Thinking of Ending Things und Foe würde ich alles von Iain Reid lesen. Diesmal widmet er sich einer Protagonistin namens Penny, die in ein Altersheim umgesiedelt wird. Dort verliert sie zunehmend den Überblick darüber, ob die Realität sie verwirrt, weil ihr Geist langsam versagt oder ob etwas Verstörenderes vor sich geht.
Mit The Witch & the Tsar von Olesya Salnikova Gilmore und Thistlefoot von GennaRose Nethercott gibt es gleich zwei Romane, die sich dem Baba-Yaga-Mythos widmen. The Witch & the Tsar stellt Yaga selbst als Figur in den Mittelpunkt und lässt sie vor historischem Setting in Russland als Freundin von Anastasia gegen den tyrannischen Zar Ivan vorgehen, Magie inklusive. Thistlefoot spielt hingegen in moderneren Zeiten in den USA. Ein Geschwisterpaar erbt das hühnerbeinige Hexenhaus der Baba Yaga und begibt sich, verfolgt vom Longshadow Man, auf einen Roadtrip durchs Land und in die traumatische Familienvergangenheit.
Festergrimm von Thomas Taylor
Bereits der vierte Teil der charmanten Malamander-Middle-Grade-Reihe, in der Herbie und Viola in der Küstenstadt Eerie-on-Sea allerhand mysteriöse Kreaturen und Personen begegnen. Diesmal geht es um ein Wachsfigurenkabinett und einen riesigen Roboter.
The Make-Up Test von Jenny L. Howe und The Boy with the Bookstore von Sarah Echavarre Smith sind zwei Romance-Titel, die meine Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen konnten. In The Make-Up Test konkurrieren eine Doktorandin und ein Doktorand auf dem Gebiet mittelalterliche Literatur miteinander, obwohl sie im Team vielleicht viel weiter kommen würden. Auch die beiden Hauptfiguren in The Boy with the Bookstore sind zur Zusammenarbeit gezwungen, denn aufgrund von Renovierungen müssen sie ihre philipinische Bäckerei und seinen Buchhandel temporär zusammenlegen. Joelle gefällt es allerdings gar nicht, dass Max seine Sportklamotten in ihrem Ofen trocknet und sich ungefragt an den Backwaren in ihrer Auslage bedient, egal wie sexy sie ihn aus der Entfernung fand.
Stone Blind von Natalie Haynes
Nach meinem glorreichen Leseerlebnis mit A Thousand Ships kann ich es kaum erwarten zu lesen, wie Haynes mit dem Medusa-Mythos umgeht. Sie erzählt die Lebensgeschichte der jungen Frau, angefangen mit ihrem Leben als Außenseiterin in einer Familie voller Götter*innen über ihre Verwandlung in eine Gorgone bis zur Begegnung mit Perseus.
The Winners von Fredrik Backman
Endlich der dritte Teil der Beartown/Björnstad-Reihe zumindest in englischer Übersetzung. Über die deutsche konnte ich bisher keine Infos finden, obwohl Backman sich hierzulande ziemlich gut verkauft. The Winners spielt zwei Jahre nach den Ereignissen aus Teil 1 und 2, ansonsten bleibt die Inhaltsangabe vage, erwähnt aber, dass es um Heimkehr, eine Beerdigung, das Verlieben, das Kitten einer Ehe, das Retten der eigenen Kinder und eine Waffe geht.
Ebenfalls vielversprechend
The Weight of Blood von Tiffany D. Jackson: YA Retelling von Carrie mit biracial/passing Thematik
Hither & Nigh von Ellen Potter: MG Abenteuer über ein Mädchen, das ein magisches New York City entdeckt, in dem sie möglicherweise ihren verschwundenen Bruder wiederfindet
A Merry Little Meet Cute von Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone: Romance über einen Pornostar und ein Ex-Boygroupmitglied, die zusammmen einen weihnachtlichen Familienfilm drehen

I finished 'Malamander' late last night, or really, really early this morning and the last few chapters felt like something out of a dream, to be honest. It's strange how, when the time comes, one feels at a remove from experiences you intended to savour instead. That isn't to say the book disappointed me. It's just that the high of being in it was wearing off the closer I came to the end, and by the time I flipped the last page, what I was mostly left with was a tender sadness that was inevitable, really.
'Malamander' brought back how it felt to experience books as a child- reckless and greedy and full of caprice and whimsy. I loved the illustrations so very much. I loved that the author themself illustrated the entire book. It made an already lovely experience all the more special for me.
This isn't a book review. My feelings for this book are, in part, enmeshed in childhood nostalgia, which elevated an already good book to something wonderful.
Also, I discovered this morning that this is a series?! I can't wait to get my hands on book 2.
When the time is right, of course.

Herbert Lemon is the Lost-and-Founder of the Grand Nautilus Hotel, a task that involves keeping and returning the lost items found in the hotel to their owners.
