    Welcome back! Glad you got to treat yourself after that hectic vacation! I've watched Philip Chase and Bookborn glowing non-spoilery reviews of The Book That Wouldn't Burn and it has made me so excited to read it when the time comes. ☺️

      Thank you! It was a much-needed break, but I’m glad to be back. So glad to hear that people are enjoying the book - I’m hoping to get to it soon.

    I am “of an age” that I remember those vacations with children and looking back I don’t remember the trip as much as I remember how exhausted I was the entire time? I think parents should get an extra week to recover while the kiddos go to Grandma’s? Since I am a Grandma I think this is a brilliant plan! 😂 I actually love book hauls and watching them! My favorite thing to do is go into a book store without a plan to hunt for books I might not know about….those hidden gems! I seem to be more open minded to books I might skip when I don’t have a plan? 💗

      We brought the Grandparents along, so we at least got a couple of evenings to ourselves. 😅 But it was good, exhausting fun!

    A VIDEO! A BOOK HAUL! What an absolute delight to wake up to, hahah.
    Sounds like you made good use of the store credit! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Emily Wilde's book, it gives off Lady Trent vibes so I have high hopes!!
    And I read and reviewed The Book That Wouldn't Burn, it was good but I think I loved the mystery and intrigue more before we got the shocking reveals, lol. Would love to hear your thoughts!
    Happy reading 🤩

    I am massive GGK fan - have read all his books as he published them. So I started 35 years ago with Fionavar. Fionavar is very much a traditional portal fantasy. He writes very different types of stories as time goes on. And while objectively I recognise that he is a better writer now, Fionavar trilogy still remains my favourite of all his novels. It was the first time he made me bawl 😭 Not many authors manage that.
    So I hope you enjoy when you get around to it.

    • @TheBookCure

  • @fithfath3615
    @fithfath3615 Год назад

    Yay! You got more GGK. If you like the Fionavar Tapestry, you'll really enjoy more of his later work and yes there are Arthurian themes in it.
    It will be interesting to see what you think of it.

    Nice haul! Carter’s is not horror but rather tales that challenge your expectations. She takes fairy tales and rips them apart. Really good.
    I’ve got Fawcett’s book and need to try Gavriel Kay (not sure where for him). I’ve read Seraphina duology which I loved but not Tess yet😊

    Ah yes, a family vacation with young children needs to be followed up with a relaxing adults-only vacation. Mike did not steer you wrong. Angela Carter is an amazing author and that collection is brilliant. I have heard several glowing reviews of The Book That Wouldn’t Burn, which I also just purchased. Happy reading.

    What a great haul of books! I just checked out The Book that Wouldn’t Burn from my library. I had started it on audiobook but very quickly realized it’s a story for my eyeballs instead of my ears. I’m a little confused but I’m also curious and invested to see how things unfold; I’m excited for the journey. it will be exciting to see if you get to this sooner rather than later with all of these excellent books to choose from. Happy reading and welcome back from vacation

    A Bananafish reading list is so Sarah 😂(I want to try Blue Period about a teen discovering he's an artist).
    I think Hemingway is a better short story writer than novelist. One I remember is A Clean, Well Lighted Place.
    I've read one Angela Carter and it was certainly provocative.
    I think I may make Book That Wouldn't Burn my first Mark Lawrence

    • @TheBookCure

    I'm so interested in The Book That Wouldn't Burn. I've watched Philip Chase's review of it and his interview with Mark Lawrence, it sounds really good. I won't be able to resist a buddy read if you plan one in the discord.

    Jake won't watch a book haul so I'll tell you that yes it supposedly has Arthurian elements 🤣 that cover is great, I also have that version. I am currently reading Book that Wouldn't Burn and it's good!
    Pachinko Buddy Read? In which I read it two to three months before you finally pick it up?

    I don't really think of the Bloody Chamber as horror, it's a collection of feminist retellings of fairytales, granted fairytales can be quite horrific and there is definitely blood and monsters in the collection, it's definitely more literary. It's one of my favorite collections of short stories. The Lady of the House of Love is my favorite.

    • @anaaneiros5502
      @anaaneiros5502 Год назад

      I have never seen Angela Carter categorised as horror, either. Although I have a beautiful illustrated edition from "Ediciones Sexto Piso" and the illustrations are deliciously creepy. Angela Carter had been out of print in Spain for many years and this book was an absolute treat after all those years.

    • @TheBookCure
