Starting to get into the story now. Might give the audiobooks a break now though so I can catch up on my backlog of podcasts.
A haunting Southern Gothic from an award-winning master of suspense, A House With Good Bones …
I enjoyed this and was secretly relieved that it wasn't as terrifying a story as The Twisted Ones. Still creepy but much lower key horror than TTO.

This was ok but a bit navel-gazey, which is fine if that's what you're after. I read a lot of it before going to sleep and while very tired so I maybe didn't take in as much of that introspection as I should have.

Content warning Minor spoilers for themes
I did quite enjoy this, despite the themes of genocide, cult brainwashing, and rape/domestic violence/coercive control. I think I'm due a good cozy, low stress book next though.

This turned out to be a pretty grim book. It's a lovely story about witches until you reach the genocide.

Look in the end I enjoyed reading this but I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone. It's long and it's depressing. I enjoyed a lot of the nerd detail, and its very aligned to the sort of work I do (or at least my discipline); your average reader wouldn't get as excited about seeing Integrated Assessment Modelling or Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways mentioned or featured in fiction as me. If you are inclined to climate doomerism, definitely don't read this.

72% through what may be the most depressing book I've ever read. It's compelling - I want to finish it - but it cuts a bit too close. And it's very long.

This book is starting to grow on me. Still only a quarter through it but less concerned about whether I'm going to end up finishing it.

I sometimes have trouble with how seriously high fantasy takes itself. This is probably a me problem.
I am 10 pages in and I already hate the main character (of this chapter? The whole book? Unsure). Hopefully they have a redemption arc.
Someone recommended this to me (I can't remember who - maybe through work?) and it was discounted on the Kobo store so I bought it. Let's see what it's like.

This was lovely but I think I might have had enough of reading this author for a while. Even though I appreciate the gender perspectives and mindship-human romances.

Listening to this as an audiobook, I always forget that counts as reading a book.
