What have you recently finished reading?
I just finished a reread of Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice, yesterday. I actually liked it more this time — I think because I wasn’t thinking about the clever treatment of gender as much, but just about revisiting the world and story. And it did help that I knew what to expect; I’m one of those people who likes spoilers.
What are you currently reading?
Catherynne M. Valente’s Radiance. It’s my book club read on Habitica (in the Legendary Book Club guild, if you’re a member). I didn’t actually expect to get sucked into it so quickly — I tend to struggle with Valente’s work because the imagery is just so dense and I’m not visual at all. I thought that’d go double for a book revolving around cinema. But no, I’m intrigued and eating it up.
What will you read next?
I’d like to read Within the Sanctuary of Wings, and maybe start rereading City of Stairs and City of Blades, ready to read City of Miracles once I get back to Britain and my copy has arrived. But knowing me, I might get distracted by something else. I have some books due back at the library, after all.
I need to get Within the Sanctuary of Wings, and all the books in that series actually as I haven’t read any of them yet. Soon I hope… they look so good.

They’re amazing. I didn’t love the first book, the first time, but I’ve fallen in love since!
Radiance sounds like it’ll be amazing – happy reading!
I enjoyed it a lot! It’s weird, but great.
Sometimes you get more out of a book on the second read…it’s great when you enjoy it as much as you did the first time.
Yep! Some of my favourite books are like that. There’s even a couple I didn’t like that much the first time round, and then learned to love.
