’Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea’ by Rebecca Thorne was an enjoyable, if low stakes read. I enjoyed the sapphic romance and setting, though I disagree that this is cosy fantasy. It had cosy elements to be sure, but the wider plot overhauls them in a broader sense. Listening to the audiobook was a pleasant experience and helped me keep track of which characters were which. Seeing that the sequel involves sea-faring, it means that I will probably continue the series at some point.

If you enjoyed the TV series (excusing the ending), then I think you will definitely enjoy this book. I listened to the audiobook and I was immersed all throughout - it really is classic fantasy. It is heavy on the politics and it can be hard to remember names at times, but it is worth pushing through. I am excited to continue reading more of George R.R. Martin's work.

If you like Ali Hazelwood's other books I think you will enjoy 'Not In Love'. Be aware that this book is definately more adult as it covers some more serious topics but also more frequent and intense intimacy. Overall, I enjoyed reading this! It isn't the best book in the world, nor is it trying to be, but I had fun on the ride. I read this as a buddy read with my best friend, and we were kicking our feet and giggling as per usual with AH.

Miller's prose is simply beautiful. I highlighted loads in this book, and I consider this an excellent welcome into the world of Greek Mythology. Circe is an inspiring, novel about a woman coming into herself. Going into this with no knowledge of any Greek mythology made every turn a twist for me! The atmosphere the author creates is immersive, and I felt as though I was by Circe's side the whole way through.

As with the original fic 'All the Young Dudes', the retelling from Sirius' perspective cemented just how obsessed I am with these characters. I adored seeing how the events of the original took shape in Sirius' mind, and especially him dealing with his abusive parents and homophobic upbringing. James' character also gets built up even more in this and seeing how he supports Sirius will stay with me forever. If you enjoyed ATYD, I implore you to read 'Sirius' Perspective'. Everyone in this book just needs a hug and I wish I could give it to them :( Instead, I salute you, Rollercoasterwords, and thank you for building on an already wonderful story.

Read this over the span of two days. 'Show Your Work' presents a nice approach to sharing your creative work, with actionable steps on how to do so. I enjoyed the photography and poetry also featured in this book, and enjoyed how Kleon highlights the importance of useful accreditation. A nice little read for anyone who wants to make a portfolio in an organic way.

Read this whilst in Santorini and it was a nice experience! Not sure I'd read it when not on holiday there, but it was lovely to have references to the culture and environment that I was experiencing whilst I was there. As I got more into it I read it faster and faster.

I read this in three settings but it took me a month to actually finish it. Part of me understands why it is so famous, but I didn't read anything as life changing as I expected to - though that is possibly a fault on my part for having high expectations. I was familiar with the concept of a man waking up as an insect but had no knowledge of the text beyond that. The ending surprised me, and I did enjoy the process of reading this, but we shall see if it affects my thinking in the long term. I am glad it was not very long. If it was the length of a full novel I highly doubt I would have been persueded to read it.
