Recently read and enjoyed: The Ministry of Time (Kaliane Bradley), A Botanical Daughter (Noah Medley) and Prophet Song (Paul Lynch) - though "enjoyed" is the wrong word for the last one! I read The Terror a few years ago so with The Ministry of Time it was very odd reading a different fictional take on the Franklin expedition. Of those three books Botanical Daughter was my favourite even though I was worried as I wasn't sure how I'd react to the plant horror aspect.

Hated: How to Sell A Haunted House (Grady Hendrix) because I thought it was going to be about an actual haunted house with the usual family-as-haunting metaphors and instead I got a really annoying and shit demonic/possessed puppet story. I love most horror but possessed doll is basically my least favourite subgenre and the blurb DIDN'T mention it at all that this is where the book is going.

see, and I wound up LOVING How to Sell a Haunted House-- the family-as-haunting was still there, even if it was a puppet and not the house itself. But I know other people who were in your camp and really didn't like where it went.

A Botanical Daughter I thought sounded very interesting!
