2025-47. The Shadow of the Gods, by @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social - 4/5
The start of a new big epic fantasy trilogy based on Norse sagas, it took me a while to get into the world and characters, but then it became great! Orka's my favourite character and I started book 2 this morning, haha

It's Cameron's birthday and all his books are great, so you won't go wrong with whichever you choose!
I especially enjoyed The Last Shield ⚔️🛡️🏰🕵️♀️

As such, I'd like you to consider leaving a book review or preordering one - doesn't have to be one of mine. It really helps authors out.
Also, here is a photo of John Dee's obsidian scrying mirror, which I found cool.

Another 4 weeks, another treatment day at the hospital...
Injections are hurting more than usual and I'm in a weird mood, but I have to remember this stuff is keeping me alive.
Cycle 17 today - I hope I reach 100 like this lady from the support group!

2025-45. This Book Will Change Your Mind About Mental Health, by Nathan Filer - 4/5
Mainly focused on schizophrenia, it presents a vivid picture of the arguments surrounding mental illness, both from examples from patients and his own experience as a mental health nurse.
It made me think a lot...

Honestly, I only watch Game of Wool now to laugh and commiserate with the poor contestants, because that is as far from "real knitting" as something can be 🙄

I recapped Holiday Week on #GameOfWool: ariadnereviews.com/2025/11/20/g... a cuirass for a jester, Yasmin Harper's feminist performance art, Isaac's cottagecore lesbian potential and an accidental 12 seconds of Line of Duty.

I've just watched the first episode, and it's so good!
David makes history come alive and this made me think a lot... I'm always surprised by the sheer audacity of some people, claiming land and actual people as their own, all in the name of profit. 😥

Fantastic end to an underrated trilogy!
Science-fantasy full of physics, (Hindu) philosophy, engineering, love and community, a study on consciousness, middle-age marriages/couples, disability acceptance and change, and oh so much more!

2025-43. Maps, annotated, a DK edition - 3/5
A monster of a book I asked for at the library without seeing it, haha, it's basically an illustrated history of maps.
Interesting, but far more detailed than my general interest warrants.
