I Loved Fitz so much. His character and the banter between he and Hereward kept me reading! It was so good to laugh in the midst of all the heaviness. Thank you again for sharing it with me. 🥰 I have been waiting for my library to buy The Tainted Cup so I can read it. Sounds like I need to get pushy with them 🤣
I’ve had Early Riser on my tbr since it was published! I love Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next books. Also unsure about the next series of The Witcher - a real shame Henry Cavill has left! Juli has not been the best reading month for me but currently enjoying Glorious Exploits which has just won the Waterstone’s Prize for debut fiction.
Just looked up Glorious Exploits, and it sounds good, though I'm not sure if I can imagine what the tone of the book is - intrigued! It was my first Jasper Fforde, but someone in the group said it was fun but not as well structured/plotted as the Thursdsy books. Having come to his writing fresh, I just found it brilliantly bonkers
What a bummer about How to be a Dark Lord, I have not heard much positive response on it and I would be the mismatch in marketing had a lot to do with that. Sarah Rees Brennan has a new book coming or out that has a similar premise I think and am trusting that one a bit more to deliver. I need to get to Tainted Cup! Glad To hear you loved it, Another rave on the pile pushing me to it.
Thanks for the heads up on SRB. I think Dark Lord is love or hate reading. I just looked up reviews and booksandlala loved it. I like a lot of her favourites and it's interesting to hear such a different opinion.
What a month! Dreadful sounds…wonderful. Or at least fun since you said the jokes don’t all work. I might add that one to my TBR.
Thanks, Kevin - a good mix of books and only the one dud 😅. I hope you enjoy Dreadful 😊✨️

Yes, get pushy 😆💛✨️
I think Hereward and Fitz found us at the best time. We got to fully appreciate the best bits 🫶
Great to hear about your Sci fi & fantasy reads. I hope you enjoy all your translated fiction especially in Aug ❤
Thank you, Charlie. There are so many translated fiction books I own or that are coming out - I'm spoiled for choice. It's a little overwhelming 😅
