I’m thoroughly loving my current read which is A Widow’s Charm by Caitlyn Paxson which will be coming out in April from Arcadia Books

This is an absolutely hilarious fantasy romcom, full of banter, saucy innuendos and a very cute dog called Rollo! It’s so much fun!

The Magician of Tiger Castle has such strong Princess Bride vibes!

The Elsewhere Express is as dreamlike and surreal as a studio Ghibli film!

Faerie Bargains has a a very compelling protagonist.

Also RJ’s book is a fab one if you enjoy murder mysteries

February Reading Wrap Up!

My favourites of the month were The Magician of Tiger Castle by Louis Sachar. I just loved how nostalgic this book made me feel!

Mortedant’s Peril by @rjbarker.bsky.social A compelling murder mystery set in a strange & inventive world. I could not put it down! So good!

This weekend I’m reading Mortedant’s Peril by @rjbarker.bsky.social which I’m loving!

Mortedant Hasp can see the dead’s final moments but he’s been accused of murder. He has three days to prove his innocence. Aiding him we is Whisper, a non human bodyguard & Mirial, a street urchin.

So much fun!
