Un Lun Dun, China Mieville

If I have a mild gripe, it would be how China will sometimes end a chapter in mid-sentence and then finish the sentence at the start of the next chapter. It felt clever and creative the first time, but I think he's overused it. Perhaps it wouldn't be as big a deal if I was reading a hardback or paperback, but in the ebook, it's frustrating since I can't see the pages side-by-side. #Tricksy #UnLunDun #ChinaMieville #fantasy #London #UnLondon #writing #ChinaMiéville #book #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklove #booklover

About halfway through Un Lun Dun, I don't know that I ever want to go near a broken umbrella (aka "unbrella") again. It's like Steven Moffat's Weeping Angels and the Vashta Nerada. Thanks, China. Thanks a lot. #fantasy #UnLunDun #ChinaMieville #unbrella #umbrella #London #DoctorWho #StevenMoffat #WeepingAngels #VashtaNerada #creepyshyte #AmReading #book #books #bookstagram #bookworm #booklove #ChinaMiéville

I'm a fifth of the way through Un Lun Dun, and one of my favorite characters so far hasn't a single line of dialogue. China makes the milk carton Curdle as cute as a puppy (but even Curdle can't match my dog Wicket for cuteness...just sayin'). #milkcartonsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #fantasy #ChinaMiéville #UnLunDun #London #WicketsWorld #dogs #dogsofinsta #GotMilk #GotCurdle #ChinaMieville #AmReading #bookstagram #book #books

Ah, such a great read. Another author I dearly need to read more of, but for some reason just...haven’t. Get your priorities straight, woman.

I really like these actually :D
