This world where magic works like a tide is fascinating.

Read for work. Very interesting.

DNF
I was an early and strong reader. But only in reading skills: at 11, when my teacher made me read this - because children's and YA lit wasn't prestigious enough - I was still a child and I never made it through this. And what's worse, I've never managed to find any interest for Selma Lagerlöf since.

I watched Sally Kohn's TED talk on hate with my students and we had such fantastic discussions. And so I decided to read this. This book is both interesting and important.

I'm still stuck on Ms Fisher :) some interesting changes in the TV ep for this one.

I'm still enjoying these a lot...

A quick and fun read. I'm going to keep reading this series.

I read this when it was new. It was well worth the reread. It can certainly be read as a stand-alone, I read that way the first time. But now, having read Swordspoint last month, I enjoyed it even more.

DNF. It just wasn't what I expected.

DNF with just over 4 hours left of the audiobook. Not for me.

It's been years since I read detective stories with any regularity, but right now I'm really enjoying the Miss Fisher mysteries. Fun and easy reads.

Very interesting, and fairly exciting. The supernatural element surprised me. I may continue the series. Read it for work.

I've been tinkering with bullet journals for about a year and a half. I've been having a lot of fun with it, and it's been useful too. I've mostly been winging it. Reading this was very interesting & slightly frustrating - so many ideas. I had a plan for what to do in my next one (which starts in January), but now I think I have to do some thinking and maybe change some things :)

I did not find this very helpful. The home I was told to want isn't what I want and that made the tone patronising at times.

Kind of fun. Might continue reading the series.

Read this for work. Not my usual thing, but very, very good.

I really like this story. I like the spin on the fairytale curse and quest, and I liked Lennart and the Nameless Queen.

I found a six minute clip of the author reading this story on youtube. It was an interesting, funny story.

Absolutely charming little book - I love words, and the illustrations were lovely. Because of the languages I speak, I happen to know that a couple of the words exist in more than one language, but that's not really an issue for me. The one thing I wish, would be to have a pronunciation guide for the words - as I have no idea how to pronunce things in Welsh, or Hindi, or...

And, now perhaps we can finally spread “fika” to the rest of the world. It's important stuff, fika... :)

Fairly fun mystery. I rather liked Molly, the main character. Was annoyed by the cliché of women putting each other down and trying to outdo each other, though. Will probably read more in the series.

Mary Beard is great, and this text is quite interesting. May read it with students.

This is the only Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser story I've read. It's probably been about 15 years since I read it. I did not audiobook it, it was a part of a short story anthology I got as a birthday present.

Exciting and captivating alternative history. I may read it with my students.

I read this almost 20 years ago. I can't really say I remember it.

This had inexplicably disappeared from my shelves...
