So far, so good. I'm engrossed.

Completely bonkers!

I do enjoy Andrew Michael Hurley's books. His beautiful and atmospheric nature writing blends so well with the creeping dread of the folk horror....

There's a thoughtful, melancholy tone that runs through this book. How does a writer achieve this? Lexico-alchemy?

Full of useful info, although a little repetitive. Personally, I wish he didn't start each chapter with 'Welcome to Chapter 1/2/3' etc. Of course, it may be helpful to those ADHDers who find it challenging to focus on the book and need positive reassurance that they are making progress. Onwards...

... and PTSD.

'Lord Peter reached home about midnight, feeling extraordinarily wakeful and alert. Something was jigging and worrying in his brain; it felt like a hive of bees, stirred up by a stick.'

Definitely ADHD ;)

Who's body is one thing, but why it's in the bath? is the bigger question for me. I love Lord Peter's dowager mother and, his man, Bunter.

I think Lord Peter Whimsy has ADHD... ;)

I have never read any Dorothy L Sayers. It is time :)

Entertaining and a perfect read for this time of the year.... I hope the ending is satisfying.

I think this is my favourite sci-fi in a long while. Fingers crossed for the ending...

I'm really feeling for the robots...

Enjoying this one a lot so far...

This is a fascinating insight into the life of the poor and working class in the East End, during the latter half of the 19th century. But it is also so sad, as we know where the trajectory of each of these lives ends...

Fact really can be stranger than fiction.

Gripping...

I'm making slow progress, as this is my first 'proper book' in Italian (I’ve read a few short stories previously). But I'm really enjoying it - the language is elegantly simple. I hope to be finished by Christmas ;)
