    In recent years I have almost stopped reading when I used to devour books, dozens every year. I'll try and get back to reading ; it's important, useful, and healthy 😂 #KeepReading #ReadingIsGoodForYoupic.twitter.com/rnF6e2LebE

        The second of the George MacDonald titles I wanted to read, "The Princess and Curdie" has much more of a fairy-tale flavour as compared to the book it's the sequel to, "The Princess and the Goblin." A just king betrayed in his own kingdom... Fun read, indeed. #GeorgeMacDonaldpic.twitter.com/FTQA96L2sH

        'Binti' by @Nnedi felt like lightning out of the blue. I was flabbergasted. Just finished reading 'Binti: Home' and at a loss for words to describe the experience. To explain that which exists with that which does not. And otjize... The multitudes of meaning. 😍😍😍pic.twitter.com/3lS4vR1L0E

        I've never had so much fun watching my girl play a game like @witchergame 3 + DLCs. So I'm now reading Sapkowski's novels and short stories to see the original - and even though I understand some of his criticism one thing's for sure: Possibly one of the best games ever.pic.twitter.com/GEjt40bGkD

        Finished "Wizard of Earthsea" recently (again.) I love Ged, Ogion & Vetch. The story. Confronting the worst demons, the ones inside yourself. But the little 'afterword' by @ursulaleguin is the reason why I love her the most - a warm-hearted yet incredibly fierce human being.pic.twitter.com/mOTdy2iiZQ

        I think I've now read most of Sapkowski's Witcher stories and I certainly share his criticism of the game in offering the 'love options' for Geralt. There is only Yennefer, no doubt about it. Good to have read them (finally.) Witcher 3+ is still a great game 😊😀pic.twitter.com/2LKBV7zApm

        Finished the Binti 'series' and I have to say it was definitely worth my time. I should be doing a review on it - not that others haven't already done so and most interestingly, of course - because I need to get back into the habit. Otherness. A great science fiction topic.pic.twitter.com/1zi1bJJFja

        As Brandon Sanderson is one of the "big names" right now I thought I'd give one of his books a try. And I have to say I love Kaladin (does remind me of Kvothe, in a way) and some other elements ... But I am also quite angry at other things. Maybe go for the full series?pic.twitter.com/XXFJkVe7pc

        Finished Le Guin's 'Tombs of Atuan' and again the afterword alone is funnier and weightier than most fantasy I've ever read 😅 Her subversive and groundbreaking storylines are not only a pleasure to read but they challenge the 'good ol' tropes' 👍🙏pic.twitter.com/YTPFoKhBA9

        I recently watched the splendid ASTRID, the biopic on the bestselling author Astrid Lindgren, and went for this book on her life to find out more about it. A most fascinating woman overcoming hardships to one day give us Pippi Longstockings ♥️ #Tolkien reference included! 😊pic.twitter.com/l0SpqPojDD

        .@veschwab's prose starts off clean and fresh as a brook off a wooded mountainside, gathering speed and strength in tumultuous turns, only to crash down ravenous ravines swallowing you whole, spitting you out into a powerful current of magic, a stream to bear you away... 👍👏👍pic.twitter.com/GfA2I4ie5g

        George Macdonald's LILITH certainly is an odd one. If I try to imagine her as the Pre-Raffaelites imagined her it'd add extra weirdness! It has been said of LILITH: "(...) it is easily the strangest product of Victorian fantasy (...)" That I can say yes to. 🤪pic.twitter.com/cezpKLUAKd

        I am quietly fond of that line from CSL's introduction: "What (LILITH) did to me was to convert, even to baptise (...) my imagination. It did nothing to my intellect nor (at that time) my conscience. Their turn came far later and with the help of many other books and men." ⬅️

        Just finished Gina Macdonald's "Critical Companion" to James Clavell. Historical novels are almost as precious to me as fantasy and SHOGUN by Clavell is one of my all-time favourites. Very nice summary of his major works & his life, explains a lot.pic.twitter.com/faBqYh7z60

        Glad to note that out of the titles mentioned in Mendlesohn's and James' A SHORT HISTORY OF FANTASY 90%+ I've either read myself or heard of. Also happy that two of the authors mentioned I've translated into German - Jay Lake and Ilona Andrews 😊pic.twitter.com/wSIT3V8Nz1

        I perfectly agree with Stuart it's odd to place LotR in that category. However, German author Alexandra Fischer-Hunold wrote "66 Books people say you should have read" and puts LotR in the "TO FRIENDSHIP!" category. Which makes way more sense ;) https://twitter.com/StuartDLee/status/1191810635773992961 …pic.twitter.com/XCZmefVSUs

        "None saw Beren and Lúthien leave the world or marked where at last their bodies lay." True love lasting beyond the confines of the world. BEREN AND LÚTHIEN by J.R.R. #Tolkien, edited by his son Christopher. Great read and a great intro, I hope, to new readers of Tolkien.pic.twitter.com/bwLXM8WgvD

        THE FARTHEST SHORE by Ursula K. Le Guin was an amazing but also an incredibly troubling read. I know that this was probably not the author's intent but with me starting to fully realise the impact of depression on my life... the darkness, lifelessness hit home hard. 😢 Oh, Ged.pic.twitter.com/Ocr6fErLhf

        Another book I finished before the advent of 2020 was WHOSE BODY from Dorothy L. Sayers, the first of several nevels in the Lord Peter Wimsey series. Proper sleuthing and very British; I liked it despite its oddities.pic.twitter.com/ALU1ZceULM
