I’ve given up counting books in the Chrestomanci series because clearly my library and other sources number them differently but I’m sure that The Lives of Christopher Chant is not one of the books I’ve read yet. If you’re familiar with the “current” Chrestomanci who appears in Charmed Life (the first book in the series),… Read More Book Review: The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones
I was looking for a lighter read after my spate of non-fiction books and came across this book which has been languishing on my TBR. I found this from Em’s very positive review of it (if you see this, Em, I miss your posts!) and put it on my TBR list where it has sat… Read More Book Review: Changeling (The Oddmire #1) by William Ritter
Here’s another book that I got for free at the NLB Big Book Giveaway! I quite like Moers’ fantasy works (The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear is really inventive) so this was an easy pick for me. While A Wild Ride Through The Night is fantasy like so many of his other stories, it’s… Read More Book Review: A Wild Ride Through The Night by Walter Moers
It took a while but I am back to the Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper! The first book, Over Sea, Under Stone, felt like Enid Blyton with fantasy as we followed the Drew children on holiday as they get pulled into an adventure. The second book shifted to a darker tone pretty abruptly… Read More Book Review: Greenwitch by Susan Cooper
I had this book on my TBR list for quite a while, so after I talked about it in my post on 7 Fantasy books based on 7 Different Mythologies and when I was at the library, I decided that it was time to bite the bullet and read it! (I have a terrible habit… Read More Book Review: The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh
I said I wanted to read the second Chrestomanci book and I finally have! One thing I’ve realised (belatedly, and due to not taking in what other people have said about the series) is that none of these books are connected to one another! So now I don’t feel too bad that I read Witch… Read More Book Review: The Magicians of Caprona by Diana Wynne Jones
You can tell that it took a while for me to finish my Wyrd & Wonder reads because they are all scheduled towards the end of the month! But this is the last one for now, and anyway it’s a book that I own which I erm… misplaced for perhaps two years before I found… Read More Book Review: Gwelf – The Survival Guide by Larry MacDougall
I can’t quite remember how I heard about John Masefield (probably from a book about fantasy), but I’ve had The Midnight Folk on my TBR for quite a while, making it another good Wyrd & Wonder book to read. Written in 1927, almost a century ago, The Midnight Folk is a dreamlike tale about the… Read More Book Review: The Midnight Folk by John Masefield
So a while back, my boyfriend downloaded this free ebook from Brandon Sanderson in an effort to get me more interested in the planes that exist within Magic: The Gathering. Since I was trying to quickly read more fantasy in time for Wyrd & Wonder this month, I finally picked up the book and was… Read More Book Review: Children of the Nameless by Brandon Sanderson
Here’s another Wyrd & Wonder post! I wanted to join in the readalong but I didn’t get the book and when I got the book, I read it in one day because it was really fun. That I enjoyed the book was quite interesting too – I have distinct memories of DNF-ing the book the… Read More Book Review: Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
