Just finished Slow Gods by Claire North (recommended here) and my heart soared. It was like having Iain M Banks back for a book. My favourites of 2025: A drop of Corruption Jackson Bennet, The Pretender Jo Harkin, Hang on St Christopher Adrian McKinty

My first time I was at university when I read it and found it tough. My professor with whom I was reading Dante with insisted I continue and I am glad he did. I very very rarely reread books but that I have read three times and it would be in my satchel of 5 books on a desert island.

After two books I was a bit disappointed by and I picked up a low expectation romp and loved it for its genre: The grey bastards By Jonathan French. Now switching over to an absolute Master of his - Anthony Horowitz and Close to Death. The Hawthorne series is a delight, especially in Audio format

I apologise Chris, I wanted to avoid disturbing you so I googled google AI: "Grace at New College" most likely refers to Grace Keenan, a former student leader at New College of Florida, or it could refer to the Grace period for student loans for graduates of the University of New Haven.

Abercrombie & Pacey are probably my favorite audiobook duo. Gerard Doyle also fits wonderfully with Mich Herron and Adrian McKinty

I don't mind it. The characters are caricatures and I agree on your point tower Ruth Wilson and Emma Thompson are worth the ticket of admission by themselves, and the baddies are scrumptiosly bad

Interrupted my romp through the Bobiverse to read a charming and heartwarming novella Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz. Like Tchaikovsky' Service Model it takes robots to highlight our missing humanity. Charming

My first Mieville was The City & The City and I actually was more impressed with that than Perdido. So I hope you will like it, In all cases an extraordinary writer

It was also my first AT book, and, having liked it, I picked up Children of Time ( I adored) and then Cities of Last Chances where I had to double check to see if it was the same author. Very different voice but also so good. Service Model is a third voice. I hope you have found a new loved author
