These are the books I’ve read this year. Jasper Fforde’s Tuesday...





These are the books I’ve read this year. Jasper Fforde’s Tuesday Next, Ben Aaronovitch’s Peter Grant and Bryan Talbot’s Inspector LeBrock are all British police-types in fantastic worlds. Flavia de Luce isn’t exactly in a fantastic world, but she is a Brit who solves crime. Lemony Snicket is not British, but he does belong to a secret society that aims to improve the world. I think there is a clear subgenre here that I am really getting into.

Uprooted, Heartless, Darkest Part of the Forest, Sin Eater’s Daughter, its sequel The Sleeping Prince and Lost in a Book are all fairy tale retellings and feature female protagonists. Most had slow or repetitive parts and though I did not love any of them, I liked them all.
