Picked up The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey a little while back on a whim, not knowing anything about the author or the book, and not knowing that it had been made into a movie too. Started reading it a couple of days ago and oh yes, it's absolutely captivating. Not the sort of genre I […]

My VLOG review of OUTLAW PLANET by M.R. Carey. Unfortunately, this was a DNF for me. Carey tries to do way too much and the writing suffers.

REVIEW: 🎧📚 Infinity Gate - MR Carey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is epic in scale and I’ll admit, it did feel a little long in parts. This is recommended if you’re after a multiverse book!

Finished this one last night.

Epic in scale, but a little long in parts. Still undecided if I’ll read book 2, but recommended if you’re after a multiverse sci-fi read.

Paula Gilfillan's review of The Girl with All the Gifts (The Girl With All the Gifts, #1) 4/5: So, if you've read any of my book reviews before, you've probably guessed that I'm, along with my cat, food centric. When I worked as a school librarian, I found food was a good analogy for rel...

Book Review: The Girl With All The Gifts.
'So lets get down to the food choice for this book - a curry. Sweet, spicy and utterly fulfilling. I will also say, this is the second time I've read this book, and like a good spag bol, the reheated version is always tastier.' #deckyswritewithyou

Once Was Willem by #MRCarey is a decent medieval fantasy horror that delves into the story of a character confronted with an identity crisis and societal rejection. #bookreview #fantasy #horror

Little bit slower month for reading this May. That is in large part due to being halfway through The Wind and Truth by #BrandonSanderson lol.

#TomorrowandTomorrowandTomorrow by #GabrielleZevin was fantastic and emotionally raw. #OnceWasWillem by #MRCarey was a fun Medieval Romp!

A company of soldiers is directed to defend a village on the border. They find a dilapidated garrison, secrets, and a whole lotta ghosts.

So plans today changed for the best. I was able to score a copy of The Book of Koli by M. R. Carey. After finishing his X-Men run last night, I am excited to try a prose novel. It is next in line after I finish the MF Doom bio. #mrcarey #thebookofkoli #orbitbooks
#tbrpile

Can we talk about how great Mike Carey’s X-Men run was? This might be the year I get back into X-Men, just based on this read. #xmen #mikecarey #mrcarey #chrisbachalo #humbertoramos #marvelcomics #marvel #currentlyreading
