Catch-Up Quickies 107 First a quick explanation! Due to some severe health issues over the last few years, and a lingering chronic condition, my planned review schedule went right out of the window and I have been scrabbling ever since to get it back on track. In an attempt to try to regain some lost ground, I have been scrunching some of my (overdue) NetGalley reviews together into one or two posts each week: shorter reviews, but still covering all of the points I intended to.

A photo of the front cover of Alan Moore’s The Great When. The title is written in gold and takes up half the page. Beneath a shadowy figure walks along the banks of the Thames, a swirling grey sky above cut through with yellow search lights. London bridge is behind the figure, the bridge transforming into books that fly away into the sky.

A photo of the contents page from Alan Moore’s The Great When. Chapter titles include ‘Catshit Manor’, ‘Of Popes and Pot-Pourri’ and ‘Self as Hitler’.

The latest in the #BookJourney has such a fun collection of chapter names. Big fan of chapter one aka ‘The Best Way To Start a Book’. Would that we all had that self confidence #TheGreatWhen #Bookshelfpics

Six books arranged on a grey blanket

These are the books I received this Christmas...

Mankind should really look at the past and try to do better, but we sadly seem to be in a cycle of wash, rinse, repeat.

One of my book purchases this week. So far the first 18 pages are fabulous. I have to stop and read out loud. I get excited from just a sentence. Love it so far. Will update when I finish it.

From "The Great When" by Alan Moore. This is a line that PG Wodehouse would have been PROUD of!

E a gente encerra o domingo com O GRANDE DURANTE, a mais recente obra de ALAN MOORE. É um texto que exige um conhecimento absurdo da história de Londres (tô usando o Google para pegar as referências!), mas como o autor é o Moore eu vou devorá-lo com gosto!

#TheGreatWhen #OGrandeDurante #AlanMoore

The first scene of the first chapter is a conversation between Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune in their final years during World War ii.

This book is going to be great!
