vivdunstanLots more books finished in the last month.
A couple of mangas. One disappointing (The Knight Blooms Behind Castle Walls), the other superb (Insomniacs After School), so much so that I intend to carry on through the whole series. Which is slowly being printed in English translation (I think there are 13 books in the Japanese original).
London Tide, the play version of Dickens's Our Mutual Friend annoyed me intensely. But I am glad I read it, if only for completeness sake, as a huge fan of the original novel.
The first Bridgerton book was fun, until something hugely morally questionable happened. I don't think I'll reread the book in future as a result. But I do intend to continue the series.
I loved The Black Bird Oracle, the latest in Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches series. Would recommend it without hesitation. Though only if you've read the original trilogy first. Reading the previous book (book 4) is not necessary before reading this one.
I am now onto a reread of The Lord of the Rings, starting with The Fellowship of the Ring. Happy, happy place. Plus loads of non fiction.
