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
Hello hello Wyrd & Wonder friends! I have been following the event mostly through other people’s blog posts (and also because I have no ideas/no reading plan/am still waiting for Howl’s Moving Castle) but I could not resist today’s prompt, which was “mythology”. I love love love myths and folklore and fairy tales, so today,… Read More Wyrd & Wonder: 7 Fantasy Books Based on 7 Different Mythologies
I like the original Grimm fairytales, which is to say, I like fairytales that have a bit of darkness to them. So when I heard of Nightbooks, a story where a boy is captured by a witch and forced to tell her a scary story every night, I was intrigued. Plus, it’s Wyrd and Wonder… Read More Book Review: Nightbooks by J.A. White
I haven’t been keeping up with Wyrd & Wonder AT ALL, but I really wanted to write this post because I love fantasy but tend not to be a fan of romance – there’s too much instalove and love triangles for me! So I thought it would be fun to look for books where romance… Read More Wyrd & Wonder: 5 Fantasy Books Without Romance
One downside of having multiple TBR lists in multiple places (so far it’s a Libby wishlist, a google keep note, something resembling a list on Goodreads, and there’s probably a physical list somewhere around the house) is that books tend to languish on the list. I’ve been really focused on reading ebooks since I moved… Read More Book Review: The Library of the Dead by T.L. Huchu
Hi friends! I’m here to finish Wyrd & Wonder with one last fantasy post – a book review of Gods of Jade and Shadow! I previously read and enjoyed Mexican Gothic, so I was really excited for this one since it includes Mayan myths! God of Jade and Shadow is the tale of Cassiopea and… Read More Book Review: Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Happy Fantasy Friday! I’ve been super excited about today’s Wyrd and Wonder prompt, which is: “Fantasy in Translation”. Obviously, this calls for a list of my favourite translated fantasy works. I’ll link to my full review where possible, but a few of these are from my childhood/before this blog so there are no reviews. They’ve… Read More Wyrd & Wonder: 5 Translated Fantasy Books You Need to Read
