This is not today’s Wyrd & Wonder prompt. This is the reading Athena at One Reading Nurse brought to it, and the moment she said it, I knew what I had to do – Make like a cat and steal it. So here we are. Many thanks to Athena for her reading, all credit, and […]

Welcome to Top Five Tuesday, where we’re once again learning Meeghan is a woman of taste. This month’s themes are in tribute to the Avatar series, which I’m taking very literally, and we are now travelling to the Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Shanah, the Bionic Book Worm, and now hosted by Meeghan […]

Hello all. For Sunday, the prompt is a Fantastic Five about magical song. Now some of you might have noticed the title says six. That’s because just like guacamole, I’m extra. There’s some pretty cool themes out there that people are taking. Being an absolute magpie a theme was hard to do. How could I […]

The theme of this Wyrd & Wonder list is exactly what it says on the tin. Necromancy. Lets see what books I awaken from their slumber for this one… 1. Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir We’ll start with a gimme. If this book was any more morbid, it’d be thrown out of Sisters of […]

Since Wyrd and Wonder coincided with a Top Ten Tuesday topic, it seemed rude not to join in. Even if it’s a day late and this one presents a bit of a problem for me. See, when you’ve made 982 posts over the last two and not quite a half years, you talk about your […]

Welcome to Top Five Tuesday, where today we’re learning Meeghan is a woman of taste. This month’s themes are in tribute to the Avatar series and we are now travelling to the Earth Kingdom, where they don’t encourage this sort of behaviour At all. Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Shanah, the Bionic Book […]

Today’s Wyrd & Wonder prompt is maps. Finding great maps to share is a ballsache for a blog post and when my shelves are depleted, so I went otherwise locational with this. Books that really feel like they’re about a specific place. Places you’d love to see a map of, just to complete the book […]

I seem to have found a groove. The Wyrd & Wonder staff give us prompts, I do book rec lists based on them, and as it’s the sixth Wyrd & Wonder I do six books. Simples. Today’s prompt is favourite spells. The notes includes “stories shaped by spells” so that’s where I went. Stories shaped […]

I had been going to skip this one but I read something that turned cogwheels in my head. Blame Imyril and this line in particular: “if you’ve inserted magic into the past, you’re no longer being historical” Thing is that for just about all of human history, people have believed in what we broadly call […]

Today’s Wyrd & Wonder prompt is Magical Locations. Now, me, I love a good magical location. The sort of place that simply isn’t possible without the sort of forces we can only imagine. So here are six of the best… Mkalis, Kerstin Hall’s Mkalis Cycle Mkalis is the spiritworld, the otherworld in Kerstin Hall’s series […]
