A bit drab as yet... Potential is there...

Jim is on page 37 of 480 of The Ecliptic

Quite the narrative already. Dark academia without the dark, or academia.
Ha!

Jim is on page 47 of 293 of Exit Management

Dark and more than a little unnerving.

Ah, Mr. Gregory and his birds...

Loves the insects! MC is a bit off the map! Kinda meandering now...

Jim is on page 11 of 105 of Feed Them Silence

Love the intellectual-ness of the relationship, and I am intrigued by the idea of massive amounts of blood, gore, and death to come... Hopefully :)

Jim is on page 43 of 656 of Tomás Nevinson: A novel

Forgot how wonderfully restive Marias' prose is.
In this for the long haul...

Jim is on page 111 of 288 of Eat the Ones You Love

A sense something quite unusual is brewing...
Could do without the emails from Jen, she seems rather toxic.

Jim is on page 47 of 432 of The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild

Typical Énard, which means funny, insightful, and well-written.

The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild

Jim is on page 23 of 160 of The Book of I

Interesting...
Hate that this book is retitled for the USofA. It is Greig's Darklands series novella "Columba's Bones".
Why not just list it as an edition of the original?

Skillful writing and a nicely layered beginning.

Jim is on page 87 of 256 of Toward Eternity

Beautiful. Mentally challenging but just so beautiful.

Jim is on page 65 of 295 of The Graceview Patient

Like Margaret's pain levels, my interest has its ebbs and flows. An erratic narrative.

Jim is on page 102 of 306 of Blackouts

A delirious read, full of ethereal imagery and emotional depth.

Jim is on page 21 of 672 of Praiseworthy

I can already see this is going to be a difficult book, but little in life is gained by ease and simplicity, no?

Jim is on page 141 of 310 of Rapture

Interesting in ways I had not expected. The writing is beautiful and calm, yet equally forceful and strident.

Jim is on page 77 of 326 of Knock Knock, Open Wide

Best first 77 pages of a horror novel I have read in quite a while. Rather unsettlingly amazing…

Fucking stop with Jeffers, please, Rachel Cusk. We don't need the name on every page.

Jim is on page 19 of 159 of Ultramarine

Gorgeous, sublime writing, which means a fab translator too!

Jim is on page 67 of 264 of Sudden Death

Fun! Random and interesting. Facts and fictions alike.

Jim is on page 211 of 480 of Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers

Fascinating and perfectly balanced. Intriguing without being prurient, smart without being dull, issue-focused without being preachy.

Jim is on page 82 of 480 of Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers

Fraser has mastered the blending of dry facts, sordid details, and ifs-and-possiblys rather fabulously.
AND serial killers? Ha! I'm in.

If I didn't have books right now - OK, and coffee and M&Ms - I'm rather sure I couldn't deal with the world at all.

Fascinating and visceral. Beautiful too.

Moon Witch, Spider King (The Dark Star Trilogy #2)

Arden Shakespeare is so detailed and fascinating. 160 page Introduction for this play.

Just as amazing as the book#1, already.

Jim is on page 79 of 416 of The Daughters' War (Blacktongue, #0)

Not sure if I am supposed to read this first, but I am. It’s a bit anticlimactic, it seems, but I like the tone.

Jim is on page 222 of 432 of Asunder

Still amazing, and yet there is an underlying YA/softness going on... I like my eldritch terror more risky!
