  • Presses like Fitcarraldo, Charco, 404 etc. are responsible for introducing me to some of the best reads I’ve had in recent hears, from authors like Jon Fosse, Olga Tokarczuk, Helen McClory and Selva Almada. I was introduced to the women in translation month through these publishers and it’s led to some of the most meaningful reads I’ve ever had. I therefore have a lot of love for many of these publishers and it’s fantastic to see so many of them making such an impact.








  • I’ve not read it to completion, but the YoRHa: Pearl Harbour Descent (depicting events leading up to NieR: Automata) is certainly very good. As an aside, the NieR: Automata light novels are excellent.

    If you’re in to your Yoko Taro there’s also several manga entries in the Drakenguard universe, but I don’t know these so well.

    There’s also a bunch of good adaptations of visual novels, like Danganropa and Steins;Gate, but I feel like I’m cheating a little by suggesting those!




  • When dialling in (I’m new to it), I like to try and maintain the same brew time. So I’ll adjust grind size to try and account for this, although I’ve found that as I go through a bag I end up wanting a finer and finer grind. Does also depend on the roast of the coffee, so if a roast is darker than I expected I’ll grind a little coarser as I believe darker roasts extract more easily.
