Well that was terrifying. I haven't read a horror story in years. Now I remember why. I might never sleep again

I love sci-fi and fantasy and anything that spans the genres. I adore Terry Pratchett and his writing, especially the Discworld. I would love to impress a dragon on Pern. I also enjoy crime stuff.

Tattooed_Mummy finished reading 8114 by Joshua Hull
Tattooed_Mummy commented on 8114 by Joshua Hull
20% in to this and it's really creepy. I haven't read horror in years. Has a very Stephen king feel. I don't think I'll be reading it in the dark.

Tattooed_Mummy started reading Thud!: a novel of Discworld by Terry Pratchett (Discworld series)
Time for another re read. I feel like this is a Discworld novel i haven't reread enough. I'm already seeing little things i hadn't noticed before. Colon calling Vimes 'Sam' when he's taking to Nobby about him for example. showing their very real friendship. And Vimes being very complimentary about Colon

KnitAFett reviewed Aya: Life in Yop City by Clément Oubrerie (Aya, #1-3)
Left wanting more.
3 stars
I really appreciated the decision to keep a lot of the native slang words in the book and have a dictionary for you to be able to see what it meant if you weren't able to tell. It helped a bit with the immersion of remembering that you're in Yop City in Africa. I also enjoyed the detailing at the end where they explained the choices in clothes and patterns that they wear and how the community of women work together. Not all the characters are likable which also adds a little dose of reality.
My biggest complaint is just that there are sudden abrupt changes from one page to another, so I had to frequently go back to the previous page to see if I missed something, and that added some confusion and difficulty to the reading. Overall, I did enjoy this, and would recommend it if you're …
