October means autumn is well and truly upon us: perfect for curling up with a hot drink, warm socks and a good book. There’s a glut of interesting new releases coming our way this month to tempt us away from the familiarity of our TBR too – check out my picks to Make Some Room for…

All good things come to an end – or at least, every read-along must. We’ve completed our journey through Fionavar; this week, I’m discussing the emotional finale as our travellers reach the end of The Darkest Road. Just a few spoilers, then…
I’m not a big believer in the influences of the planets, but damn my September had the hallmarks of Mercury going retrograde. From national drama to big personal decisions and professional challenges, there’s been a lot going on – not all in a bad way, although I could have done without spending half the month sick. It’s going to be a busy autumn…
As Matt seeks to reclaim the Dwarven throne and the survivors of Prydwen board Amairgen’s ghost ship, Darien gets stuck in Daniloth to enable an utterly unnecessary and completely infuriating sideplot (guess you know where I stand on this week’s third question…)
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. This week we’re sharing books whose title is the cover art – where typography takes centre stage.
Autumn is well and truly here, and the countdown to SciFiMonth continues! This will be our tenth year of celebrating all things science fictional through November, and Lisa and I are as disorganised as usual busy brewing up tea, giveaways, read-alongs and our now-traditional SciFiMonth challenge. A prompt a day to keep the tribbles away? Something like that…
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. As we’ve made significant in-roads into September, it’s time to consider our autumn TBRs…
Fates are gathering faster than storm clouds in the second week of The Darkest Road as Darien seeks somebody willing to accept him and Prydwen brings her cargo of grief to shore at the Anor Lisen. When even Jaelle is showing compassion, you know we’re in trouble…
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. This week we’re sharing books with geographic terms in the titles. Let me sea…
Autumn is creeping up on us with its promise of arboreal colour, cosy sweaters, and dark nights perfect for curling up with a book that sets our hearts racing. As ever, your Wyrd & Wonder team are here to help! Spooktastic Reads will be back to dare the darker side of fantasy in the 13 days and nights leading up to Hallowe’en.
It’s time to return to Fionavar where mere mortals stand together in grief and fury to resist the hatred of Rakoth Maugrim and his hordes. Brace yourself for most epic fantasy adorned with mythic trappings and a great deal of screaming. Some of it mine. Welcome back to the Fionavar read-along…
September is always a busy month in publishing, and this year is no exception. My apologies to the many titles I’ve ruthlessly ignored – and the many I’ve been ignorantly unaware of – in compiling my list of intriguing releases to make some room for this month…
Welcome back to Bite-size Reads, where it’s my final round-up of the dark and haunting tales of African Monsters, edited by Margrét Helgadóttir and Jo Thomas.
I started a new job this month, meaning spending (some) time in an office for the first time in 2.5 years. It’s been great – the people are lovely, the culture is really welcoming – so other than trying to make like a sponge absorbing information my biggest challenge has been wearing shoes and trying to figure out make-up all over again. But how did I get on with ARC August?
