September already though.
Holy and also Moly, goodness and also gracious. LET’S DO A
WRAP UP. Let’s do a wrap up, mostly because August was a fun fun month and I had
a nice nice time and I want to get that written down for posterity so that in
one hundred years where some future person from the future stumbles across this
blog they can say ‘wow she had a really nice time in August 2017.’
That and the fact that when I have lots of talking to do it
makes sense to put it all in one post. Lazy blogging is lazy but whatever.
So, what did I read?
A Darker Shade of
Magic by VE Shwab which I loved.
It’s the first in a series and it’s fits right in with the kind of books I seem
to be loving right now. It’s about this guy called Kell (who I might be in love
with a little bit) who is one of the last magicians alive with the ability to
move from London to London to London because there isn’t just 1 London. There’s
4. (I know, right) – he’s like an Ambassador between Red, White and Grey London
(black London isn’t around anymore) so he’s pretty important but he's also a
smuggler. Which is frowned upon, obvs. & there are shenanigans so he ends up on
the run and he meets this girl called Delilah – a cross dressing thief who I
also love - and there is lots of magic and a whole host of excellent characters
and so much angst and perfect perfect
worldbuilding which is always such a thing
for me in these kinds of books and basically I just liked it a whole lot and I cannot wait to read book two – which is
a little bit of a lie actually because I have
book two so technically I could have read it already except that I have a
bad case of book procrastination and a massive to do pile.
