I enjoyed _Ammonite_ from first page to last. Must read again.

Esquire put my 31-year old (!!) AMMONITE on it's 75 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time list: "Gripping and gutsy, rich in layers of feminist and queer thought, Ammonite gleefully throws a stick of dynamite into the sci-fi firmament." Almost the only one in Top 25 not on sale—BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING 🤩

I've been reading this book off and on all year and it's been one of the great pleasures of my 2024. (Sometimes you read a book fast, sometimes you read it slow, the pace has no bearing on how much enjoyment you derive from it. I'm always thinking about this one.)

Look, Game of Thrones is lots of fun in its way. But if you're interested in what living in the Middle Ages was actually like--and if you like coming of age dramas written in prose so exquisite it'll make your heart sing--you should get and read a copy of Hild ASAP. I've read it three times, myself.

Well, this is a relief. It's not perfect—Macron and the leader of the left-wing NFP hate each other and probably can't work well together—but at least the fascists haven't won. So...Yay? www.nytimes.com/2024/07/07/w...

On the other hand, it's so beautifully bound that you can open it to any page and it just...stays open on that page. I wrote a whole blog post about that—because it's astonishing!—that you can read here: nicolagriffith.com/2023/10/07/m...

You must buy this book! Warning: you may need wrist support and it's not really designed to be read in bed. I bought it in Kindle format for the inevitable re-read but the experience of this hardcover edition should be grasped with both hands.

This book is amazing, a portrait of mourning a great loss and finding the strength to rebuild that is also a 900-page page-turning thriller culminating in a military campaign so real-feeling you'll think you're there. All of Griffith's work is superlative but the Hild cycle is next-level, trust.

It's an extraordinarily good book. Just finished reading a library copy. To say I loved the book is putting it far too mildly. Gratitude to Nicola Griffith. 🙏 If you haven't read it yet, buy the discounted hardcover and get ready to dive into Menewood's wonders.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump’s immunity from prosecution just turned POTUS into a monarch. Not even a constitutional monarch but one, as in the days of old, with absolute power. I fear for democracy. I fear for the world. I do not exaggerate. nicolagriffith.com/2024/07/02/...

Thank you for this. It's such a lovely resource. I'm a big fan of @nicolaz.bsky.social and Laurie K. Marks. It is great to know about all of these others.

I will now turn of all the devices and drink all the beers. Cheers🍻
