A witch, a lake creature, a hobgoblin, and a fae dog team up to save Britain from an ancient evil.

This was a fun romp through British folklore, even if the writing style wasnโ€™t quite for me. Review on Pagebound, GR, etc.

of the e-ARCs Iโ€™ve read so far this year, these are the two Iโ€™ve pre-ordered (and you should too!) because they are fantastic and I want them on my shelf where I can re-read them anytime

Thanks!! No email yet but Iโ€™ll keep an eye out :)
Ah I went to claim the art and it says โ€œThank you for entering! You will be notified if you are selected as a winner.โ€ :(
I should have๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Iโ€™ve never unsubscribed from anything so fast in my life but it would be silly to buy another copy before I even know if I like it. So Iโ€™ve just put it on my shelf without the dust cover lol
I really canโ€™t believe this. And whatโ€™s crazier is I went to the artistโ€™s IG page and none of their other fanart is like this?? Iโ€™m not keen on the style personally but like this is the worst example of their work
It actually is but itโ€™s not really โ€œreversibleโ€ in the sense that itโ€™s just art and not really a cover

Tried to take a pic:
I hate it so much. Luckily it looks okay without the dust jacket tho so thatโ€™s how it is on my shelf now
My first and last Owlcrate monthly edition๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ can any artist out there explain to me what is happening with the blonde girlโ€™s ass??? Looking at this is SO uncomfortable.

Also is this eco-fantasy? Title seems like a Rachel Carson ref?

I canโ€™t wait to read On Vicious Worlds! Itโ€™s been on my shelf for a while now and I just havenโ€™t gotten to it
I had no idea what this was about when I started listening.

The audiobook narration was godawful but the story itself was a delight. Made eyeballs sound real delicious.

I just got my hands on the sequel the other day!! Excited to read it
I finally got through this absolute tome. While it was definitely too long and a few plot points were rather silly, overall I quite enjoyed this read. The scene where the chef in Suus makes him the fancy meal?? Beautiful.

Full review on Goodreads etc.
