Dragon Sisters

Fell in love with Joyce's writing when I read this. Just waiting for the right time to read it with my daughter. Important themes, strong female characters, it's got it all.
The Thief's Gamble
Recommended by
kevin
I was intrigued by the promise of a living fantasy world, instead of the usual "I was there three thousand years ago, Gandalf. And look, we're still using swords!"
A world where characters have lives, likes and concerns. Where technologies and discoveries change over time. This is epic fantasy that covers the passage of time in a meaningful way.
A fantastic series.

Night Calls - Sample Chapter
Recommended by
kevin
Well I certainly loved this sample!
Moved along at a nice pace. Plenty of events, but not rushed. Language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on. It's the first in a series too.
I'm intrigued and excited to read more. Just what a sample should do. And it's from Book View Cafe, so I know 90% my money will go to the author.
Off to buy the full book asap!
The Midwife and the Lindworm
Recommended by
kevin
What a fantastic, quick, witty, deep, and deeply promising tale!
Promising a world of wonder in longer books to follow.
Can't wait to read more by the author.
Outermen
Recommended by
kevin
Amazingly-written, weird, claustrophobic, space, alternate Earth, horror story from a brilliant author who consistently nails it!
A tale of the Outside, what's beyond and, ultimately, fear of what may or may not be there. If there is something, stay hidden! If there isn't anything but a vast void, then stay home, be nice, don't explore, we're alone...
A story about our culture.

Anne of Green Gables
Recommended by
kevin
What an absolutely lovely, fun, and extremely well-written book!
The funniest story I've read in years, and with such heart.
The descriptions of the natural world surrounding Anne are... sublime. Lucy Montgomery's writing should be taught as the pinnacle of its particular kind of author/narrator storytelling.

The Naseby Horses

sakina
The Naseby Horses by Dominic Brownlow is a beautiful, haunting read - lots of layers. It deals with families, trauma, and poses questions about the validity of beliefs, be they religious, superstitious or scientific.
Absolutely gorgeous writing.
