Just arrived. Excited.

Trying #Kodo first, since I can reinstate pre-orders for imminent masterworks from @mjohnharrison and #NickHarkaway.
#AdobeDigitalEditions and #Calibre work well together on PC. Even better, loading stuff into the Kodi iOS app is way easier than Kindle. (I read mostly on the phone.) So I can start the new issue of @InterzoneMag while waiting for Royal Mail. Thanks Amazon!

What’s everyone else #reading? And what’s next on the horizon??

I picked it up in 2017, but the early sections evoked #CSLewis a little too strongly for my liking.
Upon giving it another try, I can safely say that the book can only be describing using words which has been worn out from overuse. It is a masterpiece. Three separate worlds - past, future, and fantasy - are linked together in a delicate, heady way. This is a book that will strongly appeal to fans of #NinaAllan or #NickHarkaway.
