Söndags-smakbit # 14

Bloggen Betraktelser ger oss på söndagar chansen att publicera ett litet smakprov ur en bok vi läser.
Jag läser just nu en bok inom en för mig rätt okänd bokgenre, nämligen fantasy.
Emily Wilde´s encyclopaedia of faeries heter boken som är skriven av Heather Fawcett
Boken har fått höga betyg på Goodreads där du kan läsa mer om den.

They like to roast living beings part by part in the little cook fires they carry with them everywhere.”
