What's your favourite trilogy? 🤔
Every speculative fiction reader has that one trilogy they can't get over...
For me it's between The Seagulls and Lord of the Rings, Star Wars barely breaks the top 50 😜😂

Rated Cello Song. La historia de Nick Drake 9/10
Edited 76d ago
Why on earth do publishers do this? It drives me nuts!
Why not just pick a book size and keep it consistent for the whole series?

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, and spectacular #horror #books far and wide.
A cosmic horror coming-of-age story that is equally terrifying and touching, GOOD BOY is a perfect blend of mystery, monsters, love, and loyalty that is earnest, emotional, & eerie. Neil McRobert has written a truly satisfying, stellar novella filled with Horror AND Heart. (Wild Hunt Books)

Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani.
"FBI agents knocked on
my door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I had
never met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of Karl
Marx. “He’s dead.”
I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”
“No, he died long ago.”
I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”
Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx! "

Rated The Nightlife: New York 10/10
I read this book while riding the subways underground in New York, it seemed appropriate. There were a few times when I wondered if the person next to me was trying to read along as I turned the pages, as some of the scenes are a tad... graphic, and potentially attention-grabbing if one's eye sees a choice word or too while glancing over. <br/><br/>This book assumes you already know a few specifics about how vampires live. It draws from the recent wave of supernatural/vampire-driven books and adds the specifics of a locality. In this case, New York. <br/><br/>I thought the book was immensely readable. Michelle was a well-rounded character, as was Aaron. I wish there was more background on Michelle - perhaps in upcoming works in the series. Aaron's background gave his character a lot of added dimension.<br/><br/>I'd recommend this book for people who like a character-driven story with a few titillating scenes here and there, and of course those who like vampire novels. Looking forward to seeing the series develop. All-in-all, a solid read.
Rated Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 12 7/10

Reading for pleasure in childhood may shape later development in remarkable ways.
A recent large-scale study found associations between early pleasure reading and better cognitive performance, improved mental well-being, and even differences in brain structure in adolescence.
