Here’s my January reading Wrap-Up
My favourite read was The Blackfire Blade by @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social - a fun fantasy sequel that I adored by the end!
My most surprising read was The Luminous Faeries and Mothra which is a Japanese translated novella on the origins of Mothra.

It seems that with every year I need to sit & write this type of list, I find more excellent books to read & can narrow down my favorites even less.
So, for 2025, I present you a Top 15 of fantasy, thriller, horror, post-apocalyptic, and historical fiction flavors!

Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.
So glad you enjoyed it! 👊
Finished this masterpiece by @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social on Sunday. Devoured it in 4 days. The dialogue is just fantastic and I could vividly picture everything. Book 3 can't come quick enough!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👊
Leo, a black cat, in the garden
Holding Leo, a black cat
James with Leo in the garden
Our beloved cat Leo is gone, hit by a vehicle. Leo was a brilliant person. Insatiably curious, always eager for the next adventure, eternally optimistic. He made my life better every single day, and we thought he’d have so many more days. I don’t have the words to describe how much I will miss him 💔
👊🙌💜
I am pretty chuffed, yes 😂🤩
Really glad you enjoyed the book!
I live to serve 😅
Hope you enjoy 👊
