  1. After #garthnix 's Sabriel, it's now time to re-read Lirael, probably my favest in the Abhorsen series, as it features The Disreputable Dog.

    I am still puzzled why streamers still choose to fund wicked witch Rowling by turning her stuff in yet another adaptation, while there is so much other great original material to bring to life. Ermmm, death, in this case.

  12. 2/5 stars to Clariel by Garth Nix

    It's not bad, it's just very superficial. Very surface level. I was left wanting to know more about everyone except Clariel.

  16. Meanwhile, #GarthNix is an author I've been vaguely aware of, but never read before, as apparently most of his stuff is YA?

    Except he's just put out a collection of Lieber-inspired #SwordsandSorcery stories in a pike & shot era setting, and that kind of stuff is EXACTLY my Jam.

  21. Belated, but #BloodstockOpenAir was awesome and I'm absolutely exhausted now.

    In other news, I finally got booked in for a new #tattoo! Gonna be getting a watercolour-style galaxy with Charter Marks from #GarthNix's #TheOldKingdom series as stars. Lots of purples and blues, which is my *jam*. Just gotta get the £400 together for it now. Thank the gods for the payrise I just got at work :ZoomEyes:

  22. Reading The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix. I just came across the line "You won't have to hold a hose or anything".

    Nix is Australian and that line will resonate with all Australian readers after PM Morrison's infamous "I don't hold a hose" in response to the disastrous bushfires in 2019.

    I love it when you come across little things like that in books which authors have slipped in.

  33. I keep seeing people in the community sharing lists of their favorite authors and I absolutely love that idea so I'd like to share some of mine! In no particular order:





  34. So something #weird happened: #GarthNix is your bog-standard cis white dude #fantasy-author writing #ya in faux-medieval Europe with only white people in it.

    That is until his newest book where *literally* (almost) everybody is black or brown (or "olive-skinned" 🤢). And #lesbian. What the heck happenend?!

    (I mean, should not be surprised, I'm a cis white dude who's been drawing white guys in faux-medieval Europe for the longest time but I still did not see that coming.)
