The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

The Bookish Owl – The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

The book we're covering in this post is The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley! First off: I am not sure what I expected going into this book, but I can safely say that it wasn't that I got. This book is weird, in a way that shouldn't work, but ...

The Bookish Owl – The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

It seems fitting that we're arriving at a winter fairy tale today with The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. This was a beautifully written and engaging story that read like a Russian fairy tale. There are character you will adore and characters you will hate passionately, as well as ...

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

The Bookish Owl – Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

It's turtle time with Small Gods by Terry Pratchett. This Discworld book is a great and funny commentary on the nature of religion, and how easily it can be abused and used to control people. It also teaches you a lot about tortoises. Most of all, I really loved the ...

The Bookish Owl – The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty

Today Artemis presents the last book in the Daevabad Trilogy - The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty! The first book in this series didn't grab me from the beginning, but oh boy, how that changed. From halfway through City of Brass until the very end of the trilogy, this story was packed ...

Top Ten Tuesday – Characters I’d Name a Pet After

The week speeds past, and before you know it, it's time for another Top Ten Tuesday post. This week the topic is 'Characters I Would Name a Pet After', so I had to think about all my potential future pets. If I end up impulsively adopting ten animals tonight, I ...

Wings by Terry Pratchett

The Bookish Owl – Wings by Terry Pratchett

Time to fly away with Wings by Terry Pratchett. This book was the conclusion to the truly odd Bromeliad Trilogy. I'm still not certain what I think about the series as a whole, but if you like stories about tiny people stealing vehicles and having existential crises, this will deliver! ...

The Bookish Owl – The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant

Gather around, thieves and beggars, for The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant! I have never read Lés Miserables nor seen any of the adaptions of the story, but maybe that's exactly why I enjoyed this reimagining so much. I find that having preconceived ideas about how the characters should ...
