Once more, Laura Purcell demonstrates she a master of the Victoria Gothic. With Bone China, she delivers yet another chilling story that creeps up on you, then leaves you wondering what is true and what is madness. 

I enjoyed Philippa East’s first novel, but I didn’t love it. But with Safe and Sound she’s taken what she had and built on it, hitting all the points that make it incredibly readable and almost impossible to put down. 

Jo Jakeman proves she is an author who just gets better and better. And with her third novel, she shows us she's a master of Domestic Noir.

“Forget what you think you know” is a well-known adage, but sometimes, if you truly want to improve yourself, it's actually bad advice. Because as Nova Reid's The Good Ally made me understand, sometimes we can't afford to forget what we know. Instead, we need to hold it and focus on how much of it is wrong

All my posts for Polyamory Week 2022 are now available to read at www.DiscoveringPolyamory.com

I knew nothing about A House of Ghosts or W.C. Ryan when I bought it. It was 100% a spur of the moment whim based on the cover. But boy, am I glad I did. Because while it’s not a book that’s going to change your life, it will nevertheless be an incredibly enjoyable read.

It’s almost that time of year again. Yes, it’s the week where we celebrate everything wonderful about polyamory and ethical non-monogamy in all it’s forms!

This is the first of Esther Perel's books I've actually read and boy can I see why she's such a big name. It took me three months to finish this book because every time I read any of it, I kept having to stop to make notes along the way.

A Crown of Thorns has a lot to live up to, coming as it does after the literally explosive finale to Lord of Chaos. We have a lot of momentum going, and this next instalment does not disappoint.

I always love Alan Moore’s work, and with Neonomicon he demonstrates he truly understands what Cosmic Horror is supposed to be. In a word, horrifying. 

This Christmas, I implore you all to try and keep from giving any more money to the company that treats its workers like scum while its owner spends the pandemic building his own private spaceship. 

This year, let's try to avoid using Amazon. 

Polyamory Uncensored - Episode 84: The Freedom of Possibility with Tom - OUT NOW

This was another book that I couldn't really fault. It has an interesting story, and was rooted in a folklore I'm not familiar with. It had a strong sense of heritage and culture outside of my own. Yet, I simply couldn't get lost in it as much as I would have thought I would. 

At last, a nostalgic movie that lives up to its heritage.

Well, I've watched the first two episodes of Amazon Prime's new The Wheel of Time series. And, given my love of the series and my thoughts on the importance of change in book-to-film adaptations, I thought I should give my opinion. 

Which comes in with a resounding... meh. 

I found Polysecure to be one of those books that had some really intelligent and insightful things to say. You just need the stamina to be able to process everything it hands you.

I’d like to make an appeal to the recruiters of the world. Please, please, stop asking why we are applying for your job. You know why, and you need to stop pretending otherwise.

It’s because we have no choice.

When I was put on furlough at the start of Lockdown, I was ecstatic. For as long as this lasted, my days were my own to do as I wished. And that meant writing!

And so, on Day One, I sat down at my desk and started working.

An hour later, I had to stop. That was it. I’d run out of steam.
