For some reason I'm getting lots of clicks for this old #review I wrote about a piece of Hermes / Perseus #romance. It's a cute idea but the execution could be better as conflicts are introduced that are resolved 5 min later. Sometimes literally.

149 years ago today, #HMSChallenger returned to Spithead from a scientific expedition that birthed the discipline of #Oceanography, but what did they find? Read more about this in Full Fathom 5000, an engaging book that focuses on the many animals the expedition found in the deep sea.

Review - A Drop of Corruption, by Robert Jackson Bennett: this was perfect for me right now, completely absorbing and a fascinating world. And sometimes, really *weird*. Rating: 5/5 ("loved it").

On my reading blog, I review The Vengeance by Emma Newman. This started really strong and brilliant, and then it sort of lost its way and ended before it should have. But the writing is great and kept me engaged.

166 years ago today, the world lost #AlexanderVonHumboldt. This admirably concise biography offers a factual and nuanced picture of his life and work, and critically interrogates previous portrayals.

On my reading blog, I review Saint Death’s Herald by C.S.E. Cooney, the follow-up to her great Saint Death’s Daughter. It's good, but not quite as brilliant as the first book.
