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.
Caitlin at Realms of My Mind featured a meme recently that I couldn’t resist: what were our favourite ten books of the past ten years? I tackled a fantasy-themed version of this prompt back in 2019; today, I’m keeping it wide open: all reads count. Let the hand-wringing begin…
Welcome back to Bite-size Reads, where I’m currently enjoying tales collected by Margrét Helgadóttir and Jo Thomas. It’s time to be haunted and horrified by some more African Monsters…
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 celebrating books we love that are over 10 years old.

Welcome back to Bite-size Reads, my 2022 challenge to read (some of) the amazing anthologies on my shelves. It’s been a long while since Sinopticon, and today I’m on the trail of African Monsters – the second volume of the globe-trotting Fox Spirit Book of Monsters.
It’s the heart of summer and you know what that means? It’s perfect weather to sit in the shade reading some new releases with a cooling drink. And it just so happens there’s some books heading our way imminently that I think you should make some room for…
Our fifth annual Subjective Chaos Kind of Awards have been simmering away over the summer as our panellists have read and agonised their way through the excellent shortlists. It’s time to turn up the heat as we reveal our finalists in each category!

The Fantasy Hive are hosting their annual celebration of Women In SFF, with an epic array of reviews, interviews, guest posts and other original content. The Tag Team tag was the perfect excuse to team up with my best blog buddy Lisa and get involved…
We’re at the heart of our Wyrd & Wonder read-along of Guy Gavriel Kay’s The Wandering Fire. The five are back in Fionavar, caught in unending winter by Maugrim’s malice. As their allies gather to find a way to break the cold, wilder threads return to the Tapestry – but will they help or hinder?
For some couples, holidays are a relaxing break by the beach with a book. For others, it’s political intrigue and murder all the way down – although Asmodeus did bring a book, just in case…
Welcome back to our Wyrd and Wonder read-along of Guy Gavriel Kay’s epic portal fantasy The Fionavar Tapestry. The Summer Tree provoked much discussion back in May; we’re picking up the thread with The Wandering Fire. With the Unraveller free to work his malice, our brave heroes must master their powers and find their place in the story…
