‘I bet you have MAKEUP in here, it’s so heavy,’ said the kind man who helped me with my bags. Me, with my holiday reads and cherished rereads: guilty laughter. (I also had makeup in there.) THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO is a an old Hollywood glamorously criminal banger. #favoritereads #leighbardugo #shelleyparkerchan #taylorjenkinsreidbooks #silviamorenogarcia #malindalo #garthnix #rainbowrowell #guygavrielkay #amalelmohtar #maxgladstone https://www.instagram.com/p/CUICHOfgTSw/?utm_medium=tumblr

In my new interview with author Max Gladstone about his epic fantasy novel "Dead Hand Rule," he not only talks about how it was originally part of his previous novel, "Wicked Problems," but also how his "Craft Wars" trilogy will now go one more book. https://paulsemel.com/exclusive-interview-dead-hand-rule-author-max-gladstone/ 📖🪄

I recently finished This is How You Lose the Time War by @max.gladstone and @amalelmohtar The story centres around two agents on opposing sides of a war through time who slowly fall in love as the story advances. Told partly through small chapters and connecting letters the characters of Red and Blue send each other, this was a book that defied analysation and took you by the hand on an, almost poetic, journey of a developing romance. The story parts are a kaleidoscopic array of descriptions that force you to just take in the events unfolding whilst the letters stand out as clear messages of the characters’ inner most feelings. This means that the clearest parts of the book are those that come straight from the characters themselves as if they and their relationship are the point of clear linear thought amidst the roaring madness of the war. This was a short book so it was an enjoyable read, if it had been any longer then I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much but it didn’t overstay its welcome at all. A nice quick, but not easy, read as a bit of a break from long books. #bookstagram #books #thisishowyoulosethetimewar #maxgladstone #amalelmohtar @simonandschuster #lgbtbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/COcgiJlHd3tk-8VueEsusQ0y0NbY0f2Q0-6xEg0/?igshid=1qe8cbxshb0iw

My first book of 2020 🥰 Have you read this? . What was/is your first read in the new year? . ✍Review: "A tremor passes through the soil - do not call it earth. The planet dies. Crickets chirp. Crickets survive, for now, among crashed ships and broken bodies on this crumbling plain. Silver moss devours steel, and violet flowers choke dead guns. If the planet lasted long enough, the vines that sprout from the corpses' mouths would grow berries. It won't, and neither will they." - pg. 3 . This book was something else! The writing was quite hard to get my head around, but in the end, it was a story that I fell completely in love with. This book has incredibly vivid story-telling methods, the writing will take you on a wild ride through two very different POVs and landscapes and yet will still share with you, some of the most tender love I've seen written. I fell hard for Blue and Red, I wanted them to have their happy ending. . This book felt like an extension of a beautiful poem about love, life and loss. It's very heavy in science fiction elements and the time travel aspect can be a lot to grasp at times. But I think it is totally worth it. . . . . #thisishowyoulosethetimewar #amalelmohtar #maxgladstone #readbyamity #australiaisreading #ausbookstagram #auskiwibooksta #booksofinstagram #scifi #timetravel #novella #hugoawardbestnovella #nebulaawardbestnovella #hugoaward #nebulaaward #bookreview (at Wollongong, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJk-lKlA5ON/?igshid=1g52itfmp08p5

Finished this book last night. It’s the first book by Max Gladstone that I’ve read and whilst I enjoyed it in the end I struggled to get through it. This is a smart take on Urban Fantasy, set in a completely alternate world where certain people are able to use the “Craft”. The main character Tara Abernathy is one such practitioner and is brought in to investigate the death of a God. That’s as much as I’m willing to reveal about the book without spoiling it! If you like a more subtle way of world building than most books of this type then you’ll love Three Parts Dead. Several times throughout the book I had to ask myself whether I was enjoying it. Thankfully I did enjoy it enough to carry on as I think the ending is worth the perseverance. I’ll probably carry on the series but for now I’m going to read something a bit less challenging. #books #bookstagram #maxgladstone #threepartsdead https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0oRvkHhn_4ISAXo-YeFdodL1zEMw3lAe-Fd40/?igshid=1jkh3700wgddy
