New instance, new #introduction part 2 (reposted from my previous instance):

#7Books is agony, so #14books it is:

— #Imajica by Clive Barker
— #Orlando by Virginia Woolf
— #GoodOmens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
— #JonathanStrangeAndMrNorrel by Susanna Clarke
— #TheSouthernReachTrilogy by @jeffvandermeer
— #DearSenthuran by Akwaeke Emezi
— #TheGoneAwayWorld by Nick Harkaway
— #WhiteIsForWitching by Helen Oyeyemi

— #AllTheBirdsInTheSky by @charliejane
— #Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu
— #TheGoldfinch by Donna Tartt
— #BloodMeridian by Cormac McCarthy

Ok, I fibbed. One last go-to comfort re-read: the #Discworld series, also by Terry Pratchett (Is listing an entire series cheating? I can't possibly pick one. Sorry not sorry.)
