Read in 2025: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir 📚
This book was honestly unlike anything I’ve read before: Death Magic, Space-ships, Swords and Skeletons. What a mix. The mouthy protagonist actually fit perfectly into this smorgasboard of insanity. This novel moves fast and doesn’t disappoint.

Read in 2025: Mark of the Fool 7 by J.M. Clarke 📚
More of the same in the seventh installment of this series. But the ‘same’ is good: It’s hearty and wholesome and reassuringly familiar. Like a well-worn TV serial, it’s chicken-soup for the soul. I’ll have more please.
Finished Reading: 📚 Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter F. Hamilton - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It took a long-time to wind-up; the first third of the book is world-building and scene-setting. Once it got going - it kept delivering. I like that Hamilton doesn’t hold the readers hand. ‘What..?’ moments aplenty.
Finally got around to watching all of 📺 Shōgun (2024) - ★★★★★. What a ride! The pacing on this was glorious. Casting and cinematography top-notch. Like many others, I wish a follow-up adaptation of 📚 Tai-Pan is made.
