Posted on 17/11/2016 by Roseanna

The Mechanical – Ian Tregillis

Posted on 13/11/2016 by Roseanna

I’m not really sure what I think of this one. It’s a strange sort of book, managing to be bits of several things all at once, while being fully none of them. It’s got a concept I’d expect to find … Continue reading →

The Girl With All the Gifts – M. R. Carey

Posted on 05/11/2016 by Roseanna

I don’t think I’d have ever picked this book up, were it not for the fact it was book club’s book for November. I’ve never been a huge fan of zombies. When it comes to supernatural horrors we may or … Continue reading →
