Good morning, folks! It’s time for another installment of my post-exam book binge. This time, it’s the British Library Crime Classics edition. (Yep, I am addicted to these.)
Bought:
Books read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–The Secret of High Eldersham, by Miles Burton. Okay, the plot is bananas, but it’s a really compulsive read. 4/5 stars
–The Templars, by Piers Paul Read. Not just about the Templars, but about the Crusades more broadly. 3/5 stars
–Howl’s Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones. A favourite reread. <3 5/5 stars
–A Quick and Easy Guide to Using They/Them Pronouns, by Archie Bongiovanni & Tristan Jimerson. Pretty good, but not perfect. 4/5 stars
–A Little History of Archaeology, by Brian Fagan. Not quite everything I wanted, but fun enough and informative, if a little scatter-brained. 3/5 stars
–Feed, by Mira Grant. A reread to let me get back into the trilogy and finish it this time, and it was great fun. 4/5 stars
–Planetfall, by Emma Newman. Another reread, this one because I want to read the new book in the same world. Remains a great read, and I think I liked it more this time. 4/5 stars

So what’ve you been reading? What have you been stacking your shelves with? I want to know!
I’ve not bought any books this week, and I’ve been engrossed in the sequel to The Fifth Season (oh… oh oh oh. Damn these are good).
I’ve also admitted I’m not going to finish the rest of my Subjective Chaos reading list reading (for this round; I may have a couple of books to read in July depending on how this round of voting goes) so I get to read completely on a whim for the next week. Which may or may not mean just finishing The Broken Earth trilogy and the first season of Born to the Blade.

Man, I actually need to read that trilogy. I started when it came out, but something came up and I stalled, and then didn’t pick it up again yet…
Looks like you’re in for a summer full of crime fiction goodness! Grats on finishing your exams!

Ha, it’ll last me five minutes at the rate I go through these! 😀
Great haul. I hope you enjoy your new reads!

Thank you!
I love those British Crime Classics covers, there’s just something about them. And Planetfall I should read- I just read Before Mars recently and am very intrigued with that universe now!

Agreed! I’m keeping them as a set, I think, rather than selling them/taking them to charity — they just… look good.
Oh, Planetfall is great.
There’s just something about those covers that work…they make a nice set.
They really do!
Love the cover for those mysteries! Enjoy.
