It was the Chinese Negro boss, the driver of the marsh buggy. Round the corner, not more than ten yards away, was the crane. A narrow rocky track, made by the feet of the workers, led down the other side and round the bulge of the cliff. Should he chance it? He must Get movingīond flattened himself against the rock and warily inched his head round the corner. It was black, impenetrable, as deep as the rest. He gazed vaguely at the softly heaving sheen of water.
Slowly he let himself down to the bottom rung of wire. A voice called out, startlingly close, "Okay to go?" There was a distant answer: "Okay." The crane engine accelerated. Bond crept softly forward, watching his footholds for loose stones. Round the bead, the track filtered through a maze of giant, tumbled boulders. But softly, gently, slowly The prize was almost intolerably sweet.īelow, on the jetty, to the left and to leeward of the drifting smoke of the guano dust, stood the tall, watchful figure of Doctor No.īond, leaving drops of blood behind him, picked his way carefully down the track and along the bottom of the shadowed cliff. Slowly, a thin, hard smile broke across the haggard, sunburned face. The wounded squid had emptied its ink sac at him.īond sat and thought, measuring distances, guessing at angles, remembering exactly where the crane driver's hands and feet were on the levers and the pedals. It was covered with black slime, and blackness stained the sea for twenty yards around. He got a hold and reached up his other hand and slowly, agonizingly, pulled himself up so that he was sitting in the fence. So he must be alive Dazedly Bond let go the spear from his trailing hand and reached up and felt for the nearest strand of wire. But he could feel the wire cutting into the tendons behind his knees. His eyes were stinging and there was a horrible fish taste in his mouth.
What had happened? Had he gone blind? He could see nothing. I can tell just from the design of the theme artwork what next months book is going to be, and I AM SO EXCITED! I have been waiting for this book for so long.He caught a glimpse of the tip of his spear lancing into the centre of a black eyeball and then the whole sea erupted up at him in a fountain of blackness and he fell and hung upside down by the knees, his head an inch from the surface of the water. I can’t wait for next months box which is themed ‘ In the Shadows’ and has exclusive sprayed edges, an exclusive cover – and also an exclusive HIDDEN cover underneath the dust jacket – and finally, there will be beautifully designed end papers. Thank you to Illumicrate for a box filled to the brim of bookish goodness. Only when it’s darkest you can see the stars. And she learns to challenge the cruel arithmetic of survival that has always governed her people. She learns that her weaknesses are another kind of strength. Yaz learns that Abeth is older and stranger than she had ever imagined.

A world full of difference and mystery and danger. Yaz is torn from the only life she’s ever known, away from her family, from the boy she thought she would spend her days with, and has to carve out a new path for herself in a world whose existence she never suspected. Variation is dangerous, difference is fatal. To resist the cold, to endure the months of night when even the air itself begins to freeze, requires a special breed. On Abeth the vastness of the ice holds no room for individuals. I actually haven’t heard much about this book, but I know that a lot of people rave about Mark Lawrence’s writing and how beautiful his world building is, so I’m excited to jump into it. Also included was a letter from the author. This book sleeve was designed by Pauhami and is inspired by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.Īnd HERE IT IS! The book of the month was The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence. This edition is signed by the author, and also has exclusive spray painted edges. I always used them when I was going to university, and I take loads of them with me when I go to book conventions like YALC so I can store all my books safely without them getting damaged on the way back home. Who doesn’t love book sleeves? They come in so handy whenever I’m travelling anywhere. I was looking for some more to add to my laptop and now I have some!
I love stickers so much, especially ones inspired by fantasy. The next item that I saw was this set of post-it notes that were designed by Caroline Dougherty (thousandwrecks) and is inspired by The Witcher and his bard. As soon as I opened this tin, I could just smell it and oh my god, it was gorgeous. I love hot chocolate so much, especially when it’s done perfectly.
