„Gran's always told me I should be more compassionate. The problem is I find it much easier to feel for the orphans freezing outside the gate than to be sympathetic to a laird with his own private castle. Boohoo, cry me a river.“

"The Library of the Dead" by T. L. Huchu

I finished reading this and thought I’d share. I have to admit, Ropa got on my nerves for the first couple of chapters. I don’t know what it was but I didn’t exactly like her at first. But that quickly changed and I ended up liking her. She’s a tough cookie but she has to be given her circumstances. However, she’s human enough to make her seem believable (if that makes any sense at all). I…

get to know me

tagged by @chaumas-deactivated20230115 who i know slightly better now! tagging ppl i know & ppl i dont: @icaroid @waitingforgalois @emotionsandphenomena @avantguardisme @yellowcharm @fishdetective @swordatsunset @soulproof @gideonthefirst @augustales & @cactusmotif

Last song: ok well it's sidi monsour NOW. before that it was overflow by een glish, which i don't know anything abt. z put on a group playlist during our cabin-in-the-woods vacation a couple weeks ago! it's rly fun im a big fan

Currently reading: just just started (like today) the library of the dead by t. l. huchu which i got from a used bookstore, even tho it's fairly new. it's set in edinburgh and is abt a tween who can talk to ghosts, so we'll see where that goes! ive been in more of a read-a-graphic-novel-in-one sitting for months, but then i read a book on vacation and im like hm maybe this happening for me.

Currently watching: also what we do in the shadows. love u weekly shows. agree that it's past its prime, but having a little crush is fun. otherwise i chewed thru drawtectives s2 while catsitting last week, which is drawfee's youtube detective series -- the season was kind of adventure train-y which i really appreciated.

Current obsession: video game!!!! story of seasons: a wonderful life!!!! it's the sos remake of harvest moon: awl, which was one of my top three video games as a kid. it's fascinating revisiting this after stardew valley and other contemporary farming sims -- there's way less to do and time passes way quicker, i got thru year one in under a week. also, the aesthetics are a really jarring mix of the modern sos style and character/setting design from the gamecube days.

Library of the Dead

By T. L. Huchu What a beautiful and melancholy read. I mean sure... when your main character is a ghost whisperer, melancholy is sure to follow. This was different. This is the melancholy we get just living. The sadness of struggle. It was a good read and I will read the next in the series soon.

“Masterful . . . Tsamaase has created a disturbing techno dystopia in a future Botswana that terrifies with its echoes of our own increasingly authoritarian cyber-policed world. This beautifully written work haunts and upends expectations with its resurrected ghosts and gods and ancestors of Motswana cosmology. What an accomplished debut!” —T. L. Huchu, Caine Prize finalist and author of The Library of the Dead

The Library of the Dead - Honest Book Review

The Library of the Dead is a fast-paced, action-packed story that took me by surprise. I loved travelling Edinburgh with Ropa and it's more than a little sinister. Thank you @MyBookishLife and @JamieLeeNardone for the review copy! Full review here:

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Expected Publication: February 4th, 2021 Rating: ★★★★  (4/5) Review:  I was taken by surprise by this book in several ways.
