Rachel Reviews: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
So, I have just finished reading book two of the ACOTAR series as it is known for short (the modern world loves an acronym!), which is taking the world by storm; one that has been raised with immortal magic, no doubt.

The Dancing Animal
Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut "I'm just popping out for some..." and this is where Fred's mind went blank. "What? You're going where?" Tanya was in the kitchen and couldn't hear exactly what Fred had said. He was going out? Again? He'd already been out once. Why did he need to go out again?

Gossamer. Top Story - April 2024.
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.

Hail. Content Warning.
She was sat outside when the hail came. She had been thinking and drinking, letting the sun distract her. She had fixed herself a bright cocktail with an umbrella and a Maraschino cherry. The alcoholic proportions were wrong, or right, depending on how you saw it.

Rachel Reviews: Saltburn (2023)
I have had a curious afternoon. My ironing pile is huge and needed confronting. In order to diminish it effectively, I need distraction. I cannot stand and just iron. I need amusement in the form of something visual like a film or bingeable naffness like Married at First Sight.

The Voice
She was sat there, reading her book when she heard it. It was low, with a timbre that spoke to her on some level deeper than aurally. There was a laconic speed to it, like it was drifting out of its owner's mouth casually and with swagger, masculine swagger which spoke of sexiness and long mornings in white sheets in bright tastefully decorated rooms. It was the Mick Jagger of voices, exuding a confidence, a knowingness that was making her tingle at the prospect of exploration and fulfillment with the finding out.

Rachel Reviews: A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler
I had heard good things about Anne Tyler and as I am unsure as to whether I had read her before or not, I thought I would give her a go. This is the reason I write reviews: to keep a record of what I read and try and embed them into my brain. I'm still not sure if I've read her previously or not but I will certainly read her again.
