Birthday book haul!

Last year I read ‘The Gatewatch’ by Joshua Gillingham and ‘Truth & Other Lies’ by Lyra Wolf (both are leaning off to the side here) so I was able to get part 2 to ‘The Gatewatch’ and parts 2 and 3 to ‘Truth & Other Lies’.

Last year I also read ‘Northern Wrath’ by Thilde Kold Holt from my local library and absolutely loved it, so my wife got me the entire trilogy.

And I had a little leftover birthday money so I got myself a couple books by Cat Rector about Sigyn and Loki.

(Also was able to get myself a new arm-ring. My previous one has been great; I’ve worn it for about 5 years. But when I bought it, I was looking for something made from steel, because it was strong, inexpensive, and wouldn’t leave a discoloration on my skin. At the time the only style I could find in steel had wolf heads on it, which I was fine with, but ravens are more my style, so I was able to get an update)

“Kasuri also gives us a rare insight into the minds of the Pakistan Army, the contribution of the Foreign Office and his warm but complex relationship with President Musharraf. Blending analysis with choice anecdote, Neither a Hawk nor a Dove gives us a comprehensive and revealing account of Pakistan’s politics and the political compulsions of those at the helm.” 🌱

I would choose you even in daylight

This was absolutely one of my top 10 series last year! Am I cheating to include both books in my top 10 by saying series? Yes. Was it that good? Also yes. I’m not all that into omegaverse but I AM that into Vikings and extremely niche historical fiction. Actually, this came to me completely organically at the exact same time I was studying the Viking invasion of Dublin for fun. And Ímar and Olaf are in this. So I mean.

The Late Mrs. Willoughby (Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney Mystery) by Claudia Gray #ARC #BookReview #NewBooks #JaneAusten

There's a new mystery featuring Jane Austen's characters' children. I thoroughly enjoyed #TheMurderofMrWickham, would it be the same for #TheLateMrsWilloughby #NetGalley #ARC #BookReview #Jane Austen #newbooks #MrDarcyandMissTilneyMystery #vikingbooks

Catherine and Henry Tilney of Northanger Abbey are not entirely pleased to be sending their eligible young daughter Juliet out into the world again: the last house party she attended, at the home of the Knightleys, involved a murder—which Juliet helped solve. Particularly concerning is that she intends to visit her new friend Marianne Brandon, who’s returned home to Devonshire shrouded in fresh…

This book series is epic. I can’t get enough of it. I read the first two books as part of a book club and I loved everything about them. John Gwynnes style of writing, the characters and all the thrilling details of the brutal viking fantasy world. Can’t recommend this enough and also I can’t wait for the third book to come out. 🐺🐉

A wonderful evening at Blackwells Edinburgh on the 9th Feb 2023. Debut authors Cailean Steed and Heather Darwent are on an author book tour and I was delighted to be able to attend. Both books really sound exceptional. I was lucky enough to be gifted a copy of Heather’s book The Things We Do To Our Friends at the Viking Books showcase in Edinburgh last year. I will be reading and reviewing both…

The book Untold Power by Rebecca Roberts (daughter of Cokie) was featured on NPR's Morning Edition. The interview was recorded at the Wilson's home with piano accompaniment- take a listen. We have the book on our shelves.

I finally painted the Mireym + Staryk king icy glare contest. Did Naomi Novik know, when she designed a character with white hair, white skin and an all-white outfit, what that would mean in terms of aesthetics? I tried my best to make him mysterious and sexy, but he still ended up looking like a fae version of Mr Clean
