  • Spear: Go read it. Now.
    June 29, 2022 by Marion Deeds
    Spear by Nicola Griffith Nicola Griffith’s Spear glides effortlessly and confidently into the Arthurian cycle, while giving us a completely new character and an outsider’s perspective of Arthur, his court, Merlin, and the Holy Grail.

  • Walk the Vanished Earth: A debut with great potential
    June 24, 2022 by Bill Capossere
    Walk the Vanished Earth by Erin Swan Walk the Vanished Earth by Erin Swan is a debut novel with great potential in its underlying premise, structure, and characters, but while the story does at times rise to meet that potential, it does so unevenly and by the end, for me at least, unsatisfactorily. The story […]

  • The Last Days of the Dinosaurs: Planet Earth’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

    The Last Days of the Dinosaurs by Riley Black As just about any child can tell you, roughly 65 million years ago a nearly ten-mile-wide asteroid crashed into the earth in the Yucatan, unleashing planet-wide firestorms, geography-changing tsunamis, and years of acid-rain and dark days. In short, it was not a good day for Planet […]

    Marion: The Select Committee on the January 6 events took up a lot of my time this week, but I managed to finish Nicola Griffiths’s luminous novella Spear, and The Extraordinaries, a fun YA superhero-rom-com by T.J. Klune. Now I’m at the nail-biter ending of Leigh Bardugo’s Crooked Kingdom, the sequel to Six of Crows. […]

    Hey guys,Finished walking the Camino a couple of days ago. 613km in 25 days of walking. Not too bad an accomplishment, if I do say so yself! ;-)The first 20 days were everything I wanted it to be, but the last 5 days were an absolute circus. Sarria is the closest city to Santiago from which you can begin walking and get your Compostela at the end. From there, the Camino becomes an awful experience. Huge groups of fat and overweight people create gridlock at every turn. Not to mention school kids traveling in groups of over a hundred people. […]

To support the murdered king is now punishable by death. But on distant worlds, the few surviving Guardians carry […]

    Hey there!In case you don't check out the Hotlist's Facebook page from time to time, you might not be aware of the reason why I aven't reviewed anything in almost a month. Well, I flew to Spain on May 22nd and I've been walking the Camino de Santiago since then. With about 335km under my belt, I now find myself in San Justo de la Vega for a much-needed day off. Understandably, walking an average of 25km under the hot sun with basically no shade every day leaves me too exhausted to write reviews.But since I do keep on reading, […]
