Lesbian romance story in 18th century Scotland. Immersive as heck, really takes you into its story world. It is deftly written and engaging, raw in many senses - raw, passionate emotions abound in the story, which could've had little more pauses to breathe.

A non-fiction book I want to feature here, an amazing read on nostalgia combining memoir, academic historical analysis and philosophical essays. A ton of insight into human condition that made me have to put the book down and just think. Long staying power.

A collection of six related but fairly independent stories set in far future where the sun is growing dim, the world is worn-out yet strange to the point it's just fantasy fiction. The original inspiration for D&D magic system! Really liked this read; engaging and fun.

A WW2 era Dane ends up in a parallel fantasy world, in which Law and Chaos struggle for dominance. A surprisingly fun story & really enchanting worldbuilding. Really liked!
Fun fact: 3H3L is one of the foundational inspirations for Dungeons & Dragons.

Love when books take their time and let me smell the roses, but EOTW was often just meandering, even repetitive. Copies more Tolkien than Fionavar ever did. However, EOTW hints at, even promises, a rich world and an interesting story. I will check out the sequel.

Second book in Fionavar series picks up after the first one. Classic fantasy in a way that is clearly inspired by Tolkien and traditional myths, but also is legitimately its own thing. Makes me anticipate reading the third book of the trilogy.

Re-reading the first Malazan book was an interesting experience. Book's _relative_ weaknesses compared to rest of the series are more apparent, but there was also newfound appreciation for a lot of things you'd catch only on a re-read. Love the series a lot!

Five university students end up in fictional fantasy world of Fionavar. Didn't hook me until after a bit, but I really enjoyed this read. I have some gripes, but none really ruin the book. A good classic fantasy book, told in a way where prose and setting match.

It's a testament to Erikson's mastery of the craft that he sticks the landing in a series as complex and sprawling as Malazan Book of the Fallen. This is a truly grand epic and a satisfying conclusion to a series spanning ten massive books. 10/10. Unbelievable.

No perfect albums that year out of the albums that did come out, this one I like the most

Another one from Cherryh in the A/U Universe. Homeless marine tries to hide her real identity and ends up on a ship hunting her old comrades. Didn't like as much as the previous one, but Cherryh's setting-work continues to be amazing and characters feel very real.
