Bookshelf Shelfie

I've been organising my bookshelf recently to focus on my main TBR schedules by putting the series I'm currently reading at the top. So, from top-down, we have the Revelation Space series, The Dark Tower (plus multiverse extras), Malazan, and The Faithful and The Fallen (and I'm slowly adding the remaining Of Blood and Bone books).

These four series are the backbone of my reading and will be for most this year and part of next, though I'll be squeezing in other books around the others for sure.

How do you organise your bookshelves? And Do you have any main series you're reading, or do you mix and match with whatever takes your fancy?

Currently Reading - Revelation Space

So, after reading a lot of fantasy recently, I've jumped into reading some sci-fi by starting the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds, which is part of @media_death_cult’s read-along.

At about 75% through, I'm really enjoying it. The ideas and concepts are interesting and quite impressive, and once I got my head around some of the time jumps towards the start of the book, it flows very nicely.

I think I'll continue the series, making it my third main reading series for this year alongside Malazan and The Dark Tower.

Do you read sci-fi? What's your favourite science-fiction book?

Also, my new sci-fi novel is out this Friday, and the previous book is in sale for a few days. Links in Bio ☺️

Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson Quick No Spoiler

Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson Quick No Spoiler Review

So, it's been a few days since I finished this book as I wanted to let it settle in my memory (no pun intended) before giving my thoughts.

I think it's both my favourite and least favourite of the Malazan series so far. I know that makes no sense but hear me out.

The characters in this installment were nice to return to, as they were familiar, and I enjoyed pretty much all of them to some degree. The new battle and siege scenes were all exciting and engaging, with Capustan being a highlight.

But, there were some choices made by characters that felt wrong with no real logical reason for making them, and that made it slightly frustrating to read in places.

So, while overall it was nice to read a Malazan book that was 'slightly' less confusing than previous ones, it just missed the mark in plot compared to previous entries.

I am currently reading: Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds!

Have you read Memories of Ice? What did you think?

Cover Reveal! I'm so happy to finally reveal the

Cover Reveal!

I'm so happy to finally reveal the cover for my third novel, 'Neon Blood,' due out later this month!

Neon Blood is the second full-length novel set in the Neon Helix Universe, preceded by Neon Helix and the novella Neon Cortex.

I love the different colours and style for the new cover, which represent the shift to a darker, more violent second act in what will be a trilogy of novels.

Neon Blood itself is just coming back from ARC (advanced reader copies) readers, so I have a few little touch-ups to do and tidy it up a little before release.

I'm also taking the opportunity to give the first book a little care by mopping up some typos and errors that slipped through the (multiple) editor and revision proofreads. It was my first ever novel, and I've come a long way since, and it'll be nice to give it the care it deserves (though nothing is changing story-wise if you've read it and are wondering).

What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
