Also, with passionate feelings about a great many characters I had no firm opinion on either way before, particularly Guinevere. I started out immensely exasperated with it and finished as an emotional wreck. Most surprising of my favourites from 2016, though, is Le Morte d’Arthur, which I read as research and thus didn’t review. It’s about hockey-playing, pie-baking college vlogger Eric Bittle, and it’s warm, fluffy and immensely lovable. Usually I am drawn to neither of those things, but wow is this story a delight. If you sign up to Tansy’s newsletter you can also get a free copy of the ebook, which I DID, and I love.Ĭheck, Please!, meanwhile, is a web comic about sport. Magical university, alternate universe geek culture, a quirky band, sneaky mythology references, what is not to love? You can listen to it here. Tansy Rayner Roberts’ Fake Geek Girl was originally published in Review of Australian Volume 14, Issue 4 and is also available as an ebook, but I heard it on the podcast Sheep Might Fly and just adored everything about it. I haven’t reviewed as much this year – partially because I was reading more non-fiction as research for Ladies of Legend, but partially because some of my favourite stories to come out of this year weren’t in traditional formats. I almost wrote ‘Top 10 Reads of 2017’, so that tells you how prepared I am to write this post. Love and Romanpunk – Tansy Rayner Roberts The Girls at the Kingfisher Club – Genevieve Valentine
