Book vs. Post The Reading Slump For the past few years I’ve been going through quite the reading slump, which is unsettling, because I’ve been building my existence around books and literature since I can remember. If I had to…

It's been a rough September. Pulling faces is only one of my tactics to avoid the haunting burden of being an adult and having to act accordingly.
·
My favourite tactic, though, is disappearing into another world - preferably a fantasy world 🐲 Do you perhaps have a good fantasy novel you'd recommend me?

[ t h r e e · b o d i e s ]

A gripping South African detective mystery with a slighty (but super awesome) supernatural twist. Ian Jack and Captain Reshma Patel pulls us into their world of culture, relationships and history as they work on an extremely undercover cash-in-transit heists investigation and try to solve the recent killings that's been occuring near bodies of water.
·
I honestly enjoyed Three Bodies a lot more than I actually thought I would, and can't wait to get my hands on the first book in the series, Knucklebone.
·
This isn't my official review yet, just a little snack platter - yum yum - to get you excited, because believe me, this is a book to get excited about. Especially if you love your thrillers and stories set in the beautiful, yet complex setting of South Africa.
·
So, if this sounds like your cup of tea then pu-leeease get yourself this book so that we can have passionate bookclub discussions while drinking too much Shiraz.
·
In the meantime, have you read Three Bodies yet? Have you read Knucklebone? Did you enjoy it?
·
Also, thank you to @panmacmillansa for sending me this copy. I've been seeing everyone post about it on social media and was super curious to find out what all the fuss was about. Now, I realised that we are not making a big enough fuss. So, let's get talking and posting. I wsnt to know everyone's thoughts.

What do you think of my reading companion? Pretty cute and cuddly - except when he is in a playful mood and my arm is stuck in death's claws (Natsu's got a mean grip).
·
What are you currently reading? Would you recommend it?
·
I'm halfway with NR Brodie's Three Bodies, and really enjoying it so far. Love how the writing style emphasises the mood and genre of the story.

"Nothing's perfect," sighed the fox. "My life is monotonous. I hunt chickens; people hunt me. All chickens are just alike, and all men are just alike. So I'm rather bored. But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I'll know the sound of footsteps that will be different from all the rest. Other footsteps send me back underground. Yours will call me out of my burrow like music. And then, look! You see the wheat fields over there? I don't eat bread. For me, wheat is no use whatever. Wheat fields say nothing to me. Which is sad. But you have hair the color of gold. So it will be wonderful, once you've tamed me! The wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you. And I'll love the sound of the wind in the wheat...”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

What's your animal? You know, those bunny earings you just have to buy, or koi fish tattoo that you have a spot saved for on your arm? Foxes are very special to me. However, I don't think I have just one favourite: Basically all woodland creatures, cats and dragons.
