    It’s good to see your return to fantasy, and yes, there is a lot of dumb stuff out there.😂
    I’m currently reading The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip. I think I remember that you’ve read that one. Looking forward to the video on McKillip if you have time.
    What beautiful scenery! Just rain and wind here so far.

      Omg, I swear, there was a part in this video where I talked about how The Forgotten Beasts of Eld was one of the worst books I've ever read (except for the writing style), but I cut it out. If this is your first McKillip, please don't let it put you off her! Her later books are so much better. In fact, I have a theory that The Bell at Sealey Head is supposed to make up for the abomination that is Forgotten Beasts.

      Haha! I haven’t been connecting a lot with the book yet but I thought it was just because I was reading little bits at a time before bed-hmm maybe not. I’ve read Winter Rose from her and thought it was just ok but have several others sitting on my bookshelf and am determined not to give up. Those beautiful covers just drew me in!

    Thank you - some helpful recommendations there. Particularly regarding fantasy fiction where, as you say, quality is hard to find.
    Hopefully being poorly is behind you 🤞

    aw now i want to read narrative non-fiction by Douglas Adams... =P that's some gorgeous snow you've got there, the icy river at the end felt straight out of a fantasy novel ~

      Well, then I recommend Last Chance To See, which is narrative non-fiction by Douglas Adams. 😁

    Hi,
    Schön dich wieder zu sehen 😊
    Ist history fiction etwas für dich? Oder hast du sogar Empfehlungen? ❄
