I haven't finished a book in almost two weeks. It feels unnatural, and The Weathermonger is not to blame, but not a single book could keep my attention over the last 10 days. I miss the rest I can usually get from reading. Anyway, I read this was actually written and published first, with the other ...
This second book in the Changes Trilogy is set five years after the first, but follows a different set of characters. The Changes have become more grounded is this book and there is a whole generation emerging for whom this life is becoming the norm. The society is one built on fear. When an America...
I don't know what to think about these books. I was unfamiliar with the series, but came across it on Netgalley when a new ebook version of the entire trilogy was published. What I didn't realize was that the books had first been published in the late 60s. And I have to admit that to me this first n...
Nearing the end of their lives, an elderly couple decides to bring up the question they have always avoided: How did you kill Gerry?Yes, the same question from both Paul and Lucy. Turns out they have each spent decades believing the other to be responsible. But if it wasn't either of them, then...?I...

About a boy who witnesses his grandfather's stroke, then tries to communicate with his comatose body in the hospital. Not particularly gripping and the selkie inclusion felt more contrived than real. Still, the description of a stroke and recovery for both the patient and his family was quite detail...
When I was a kid, I loved Dickinson's 'Changes' trilogy, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story set in Britain. I've read a few of his other books, including some of the short-stories he published with his wife, Robin McKinley (one of my very favorite authors), and always loved his sense of place and his c...
A collection of six stories themed around water, written well but not exactly connecting with me. The Sea King's Son was easily my favorite, with its sweet, earnest romance. I feel very sure that I've read this before elsewhere, but can't think of where. It didn't matter, I still liked reading it. T...
