I like the night life, baby
This week I went on a road trip with my parents to Barwon Park Mansion, Winchelsea, to see Night Life, a National Trust exhibition of evening wear from the 1920s and 1930s. By pure chance, we managed to time our arrival just as a guided tour by exhibition curator Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna was beginning. This was an awesome way to navigate the exhibition.

| I had this on my shelf for years but lost interest in it. My dad borrowed it and read it, and I still didn't get around to it. But then I found its sequel, The New World, at the library and borrowed it impulsively, which meant I had a reason to finis ...more | |

| What I appreciated most about this was that Andrew Motion is grappling with the legacy of American colonialism within the fictive early-19th-century Treasure Island universe, and still in the style of Stevenson's late-19th-century storytelling. At ti ...more | |

This is more like a 3.75. This was a satisfying example of fae-themed YA. So much YA is really about the intrigue that comes from the main character learning to navigate complex and hostile institutions; and so it is with the treacherous High Court o ...more |

| I think I read a review of this and added it to my to-read list because I thought it sounded like my speed – and it absolutely is. It begins in an American contemporary YA mode that had me expecting a YA mystery in the 'clique noir' mode of Special T ...more | |

| I thought this would be a quick, fun, breezy read, and was really annoyed to find myself caught up in the angst of cutesily named protagonist Maisie Martin and even shedding tears at her more vulnerable moments. This is a book that understands its fo ...more | |
