Finished reading "Greenteeth" by Molly O'Neill, influenced heavily by @WTL
Jenny Greenteeth — English folklore's lake-hag — saves a witch thrown into her lake to drown. The two join a goblin on a quest across Britain to stop an ancient evil.
British myth — Wild Hunt, Erl King, Arthurian legend — blended with melancholy about a world forgetting its magic. The fae parts are wild and wonderful!
4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller. Bought for a book group meeting that I had to bale on. I loved this! Set in the snow of early 1963, it follows two couples both expecting their first child. It's mainly about relationships of all sorts, where people come from and how realistic or not their expectations are. It's excellently written and although the ending is a little vague it's perfectly in keeping with the story. #books #bookstodon 🧵5

Archaeology is Rubbish by Tony Robinson & Prof Mick Aston. This well-written storified skip through the process of a commercial archaeology dig is a fun and interesting read. I picked it up on a whim in the library then bought my own copy to augment my medieval #archaeology degree which taught me no practical skills whatsoever 😄 If you love/d #TimeTeam or are just generally interested in archaeology I recommend it, though some techniques have really moved on since 2002 #books #bookstodon 🧵6

Got to check out an advance review copy of The Marvel Creator Collection No. 1 "Back to the Savage Land" Barry Windsor-Smith at Marvel Vol. 1, which collects several of his silver age, pre-Conan works for Marvel, including Ka-Zar in Astonishing Tales, and his takes on The Avengers, The Uncanny X-Men, and Iron Man.
A great read showcasing Windsor-Smith's style evolving from his clear Jack Kirby influences and forming an identity of its own. It's intriguing revisiting those stories and seeing how much these stories and characters have grown through the decades.
Full thoughts on the book here:🔗 https://www.fringemagnet.net/2026/03/arc-read-marvel-creator-collection-no-1.html
