What I’ve Read:
A Sorceress Comes to Call – T Kingfisher. Great little mind control horror novel, sort of based off the Goose Girl fairy tale but with Kingfisher’s usual style of fleshing out angles on the characters in a way that feels so real and also so fun. She loves a decent man and a scoundrel of a woman.
What I’m Reading
The Power Broker – Audiobook #2 -Robert Caro – 90+% - I’m back on my bullshit here! I fell quite far behind on the reading schedule for the 99% Invisible Podcast, but I am catching up! I have read about 25% of this book in the last week, which is not a small amount of book. Robert Caro can write like no one’s business.

Strange Practice - (This was a fun choice for the book club – we were chatting about what to read next and a friend brought up “a book I read a while back where Bram Stoker’s family are involved in magical community in London, and it’s a period piece and it’s a mystery” and within five minutes a search of GoodReads, I had found it – I was pretty sure it was a Van Helsing descendant and once I confirmed the main character was a doctor and a woman, I had it for certain.)
The Centre by Ayesha Manazir Sidiqi - A friend went absolutely wild about this quite recently.
