Posted on 05/06/2022 by readerofelse

I finally (and by “finally” I mean “alarmingly swiftly because OBSESSION”) finished playing the base game of Fire Emblem: Three Houses* and so I remembered books were a thing again, at least until I do another playthrough. But I leaned … Continue reading →

I’ve had many extra months to read the Hugo nominees compared with a normal year. Have I used any of that extra time to do so? Nope! I have, as per usual, rushed through near the deadline and submitted on … Continue reading →

Voting in the Hugos 2020

Posted on 25/07/2020 by readerofelse

Weirdly, the first year I actually vote in the Hugos, I haven’t actually read all the novels. Pandemic has had a weird effect on my reading habits. But still, I read all the short fiction and nearly all the graphic … Continue reading →

Moonstruck Vol. 2: Some Enchanted Evening – Grace Ellis

Posted on 31/12/2019 by readerofelse

I gave in and bought the second one. It was lovely, enjoyable fluff, so I figured I couldn’t really go wrong looking for more of it, could I? Ehhhhhh… well. I mean, it wasn’t bad exactly. It was just… eh. I … Continue reading →

Posted on 14/12/2019 by readerofelse

Occasionally, circumstances conspire in a good way. You might, for instance, decide that today is the day to read this graphic novel, but you’re a bit sleepy, so you’re going to do it in bed. And it’s a bit noisy … Continue reading →

Monstress Vol. 4: The Chosen – Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda

Posted on 05/11/2019 by readerofelse

Gonna be a short one. Tl;dr version – still amazing, still beautiful, still fascinating. Storywise, I think they’re doing a great job of balancing providing answers and asking more questions. They haven’t got into the soggy middle-ground of keeping on … Continue reading →

Sensible Footwear: A Girl’s Guide – Kate Charlesworth

Posted on 06/10/2019 by readerofelse

I… may not have blogged for ages because I got stymied writing this post. Graphic novels are hard. I have to think of art words to say. But no, I shall persevere, because the book is great and deserves to be … Continue reading →

The Electric State – Simon Stålenhag

Posted on 31/07/2019 by readerofelse

I only came across this one because it’s been nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, which the boyfriend has been reading nominations for. As it turns out, the Clarke nominees, at least this year, are vastly more interesting than … Continue reading →
