Tom Turner (388 KP) rated A Murder of Quality in Books
Apr 30, 2021
Was disappointed with this. I understand that le Carré was still finding his feet as a writer here. But I felt this was a step down from his first Novel "Call For The Dead". Saying this I know he picks himself up in his next novel to the point where he starts forming his now legendary status as a novelist. So I am looking forward to reading "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold"
BookInspector (124 KP) rated Birth of the Fae: Locked Out of Heaven in Books

The protagonists in this book would be Aurora – the Queen of The Court of Light, and Jarvok – the King of The Court of Dark, but the novel was told from multiple perspectives. There are a lot of characters in this novel, of all the species you can imagine. We have fallen angels, mermaids, pixies, various animals, dragons and many more. My favourite characters would be Aurora and a little dragon called Los.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated My Counterfeit Self in Books
Oct 5, 2020
What does poetry have to do with social activism? A whole lot, actually, as you'll find out in Jane Davis's novel "My Counterfeit Self" and through my #bookreview of this historical, contemporary, women's literary fiction novel on my blog now. (I think this has just become my favorite of her books, as it just edged out "Smash All the Windows" by a whisker!)<br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/11/a-poetically-explosive-story/<br/>;

Erika (17788 KP) rated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, #1) in Books
Jul 26, 2020 (Updated Jul 26, 2020)
This was the first Seth Grahame-Smith novel I read, at the beginning of the era of re-writing classics with horror aspects edited in.
I absolutely loved this novel, I'm not a huge fan of Lincoln, and it kind of made me like him more. The way Grahame-Smith wrote this was intriguing, and I really loved all of the characters. It's fast-paced, and it holds up when re-read.
