GoodNight and GoodLuck

Finished Red Side Story! Satisfying ending that leaves me hoping for the third one.

I was introduced to Jasper Fforde’s books when I was a student and enjoyed the Thursday Next series a lot, though the later books were a bit weaker. The spin-off Nursery Crimes series was fun, but not quite as good.

In 2013, I found another book of his in a charity shop: Shades of Grey. This book was a completely new setting and was absolutely superb. It had been published in 2009 and ended with a reference to two forthcoming sequels, which I assumed would be available soon. A few years passed and they still weren’t out. Eventually, I gave up waiting.

Over Christmas, a post here made me reply with a Jasper Fforde reference and I went to see if he’d written anything recently, only to discover that Red Side Story (the sequel) had come out in 2024! Sadly, I can’t remember who borrowed my copy of Shades of Grey. My partner ordered both and they arrived on Friday. I reread Shades of Grey yesterday and Red Side Story today. Absolutely worth the wait.

No spoilers, but it’s a great ending that leaves open the chance of follow-on books but doesn’t feel like an unfinished story (unlike the first one, which very much felt like a Part 1).

And now back to the stack of books I got for Christmas. I only finished four of them before rereading Shades of Grey, so have a nice pile left.

Das Leben war so schön, bis "Sie" kamen, mit ihrer komischen Religion, ihren viel zu vielen Kindern und ihrem aggressiven Veganismus. Klar ist, die Kaninchen müssen weg. Das wird man ja wohl noch sagen dürfen.

Annual winter reading? Early Riser by Jasper Fforde, either as print/ebook or audiobook.

https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781444763706

Every Winter, the human population hibernates. During those bitterly cold four months, the nation is a snow-draped landscape of desolate loneliness, and devoid of human activity.
Well, not quite.
Your name is Charlie Worthing and it's your first season with the Winter Consuls, the committed but mildly unhinged group of misfits who are responsible for ensuring the hibernatory safe passage of the sleeping masses.
[..]
But so long as you remember to wrap up warmly, you'll be fine.

Teilzeithelden: Wie die Karnickel (Jasper Fforde) – Phantastische Satire mit Biss (Rezension)

In Jasper Ffordes Wie die Karnickel treffen britische Satire, anthropomorphe Kaninchen und scharfe Gesellschaftskritik aufeinander. Zwischen Humor und bitterem Ernst behandelt der Roman Rassismus, Xenophobie und die Frage: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Akteur*innen und Mitläufer*innen?

Rereading/listening to all seven Thursday Next books in preparation for the release of the eighth (and final!!) novel later this year.

In general I have remembered most of the main storylines, but while the book continues forgotten plot details come back to me.

Basically everything about these novels just hit the right spot for me:

• interesting problems that are solved
• diverse "meanies" (Goliath!!)
• humor
• multiple multiple layers of intricate subplots
• fallible hero

And a love for language and literature. I am already looking forward to seeing Miss Havisham again!

These books are like a nice hug, an interesting conversation, tasty dinner, a good night's sleep, beautiful museums and walking in nature all rolled up into one book series for me.
