Carolyn | 9892 comments All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall is a hard book to rate. The dystopian world created by extreme climate change was shockingly well done and provided a lot of food for thought (and I like books that make me think). The writing and characters were also good but the plot was slow and very predictable.

A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney
Mine is an outlier review for this fantasy-romance. It had too much romance and too little fantasy for my liking.

He is an experienced author who leads us gently through back stories without making me feel guilty for not remembering who's who. 😊)

Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell
Not for everyone, and definitely not my kind of book either. But I still ended up liking this monster romance to a great extent. Go figure!

The World With Its Mouth Open Stories by Zahid Rafiq
I'd expected more from these stories, but the slice-of-life was too "slice-of-life-y" for me.

The Envelopes by Hasu August
Great premise but needed better structuring. Still, a decent option showing an unexplored side of contemporary China.
