25. I had to finish this series on perhaps my favourite book, and one I read so much growing up; T.H White’s The Sword in the Stone. The one I had and loved was the original version, the book was altered by TH White himself when he collected this and three other books into The Once and Future King. I prefer the original, stand-alone version, although The Once and Future King as a whole is really, really good too.

Sometimes it’s fun to play around with older work after a little break…I found out that this was my favourite part of an old portrait I did, so I made a print out of it. Get it here if you want.

21! John Wyndham, author of: Day of the Triffids, The Kraken wakes, Trouble with Lichen, The Midwich cuckoos and The Chrysalids, all of which I really enjoyed. This one is based on those last two, but hopefully contains no spoilers for those who haven’t read them yet. (why not? Go read them!)
This one is also up in the shop.

20: Ursula K Le Guin, author of The Earthsea Quartet, The Left Hand of Darkness and many, many others. Check her out, her stuff is beautifully written and thought-provoking. She has many books I’ve not read yet, so if anyone has a recommendation, let me know…

15: Philip Reeve, and the Mortal Engines series. Love these books! Fans of the series might recognise this one as a reference to everyone’s favourite moving city with a giant head in it. I also highly recommend the other books set in the same world as Mortal Engines, like Fever Crumb and A Web of Air.
