Swordheart by T. Kingfisher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So good!. Maybe you can judge a book by its cover, because Kingfisher's books are so beautifully designed. Kingfisher is just so good at creating unconventional heroines who are relatable and realistic. Also, genius at making fantasy worlds feel richly layered. And again, at mashing up screwball comedy with adventure and romance, and making it all work.
Perfect, all of it

Review: Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson
My rating: 0 of 5 stars
30 November 2025
I am a latecomer to Stevenson, despite having him on my list to read. Too many books on the list, not enough interest in reading really. But I received a copy from the publisher and I am delighted. A fair play mystery in the time-honored tradition of Christmas specials! And in the form of an Advent calendar! I'm stoked. And I am not reading past the front matter and prolonged today: I am actually going to read it as intended. Well, probably, because life. But I will try very hard to stick to the schedule. I am excited and delighted all out of proportion, which is itself a delightful surprise. Let me know if you're also playing along.

Review: The Impossible Fortune
The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
29 November 2025
Delightful. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of this lot. As long as Osman writes them I'll be reading and rereading them. Who among us doesn't want to be just like them someday?
