In this Gormenghastian world the Factory is the law – but that does not
mean justice.The Gargantuan factory of Gleam has seen a millennia of decreasing population. Now the central district is fully inhabited and operational; the outskirts have been left for the wilderness to reclaim. This decaying, lawless zone is the Discard; the home of Wild Alan. He’s convinced that the Gleam authorities were behind the disaster that killed his parents and his ambition is to prove it. But he’ll uncover more secrets than he bargained for. - Goodreads

As soon as I read 'this Gormenghastian world' this book went straight onto my wishlist! I love the Gormenghast books and how weird they are so if this is half as good as I'm expecting I shall probably love it. I've also read The Leaping, The Thing on the Shore and The Ravenglass Eye by the same author, a perfectly creepy horror trilogy with some great writing so I've been looking forward to seeing what came next.

Reading RoundUp #23

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

A better week for reading but still not great! This week will be an off week as I'm currently with the terrible twosome at my sister's house, not much reading again as I take advantage of going to bed early and sleeping! I've also fractured my right elbow and as I am right-handed things are awkward to say the least! It's currently strapped up while my docs deliberate over whether I need surgery or not...

Book Haul #26

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews and Letterbox Love is a UK edition hosted by Narratively Speaking. Here we can share what new books we've picked up this past week. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

I think this may be was the smallest ever book haul post I've done! I've been incredibly restrained reckless this week and bought nothing too much, including the Cassandra Clare pre-order for my Kindle!
