I really enjoyed The Flatshare!

Hello! I see "Spinning Silver" is your next book. I read another Naomi Novik novel earlier this month : "Uprooted". It was really good. I'm curious about Spinning Silver (I'm tempted to buy it, but since my TBR pile is so enormous, I'm waiting a little). Anyway, good luck for your climb!

Elyse, I enjoyed the Flatshare too!

La_mariane, I'm looking forward to reading it as I've had a few friends recommend it. I'll look into uprooted as I have another challenge that requires multiple books from one author. thanks for mentioning it!

Good luck. I really want to read Spinning Silver as Uprooted was really good. Also A Passage to India... I've read most of E.M. Forster's books but not this one. Funnily enough the book I'm currently reading recounts how the author met him once in a library! Imagine that...

I thought Being Mortal was an exceptional book. Happy reading!

Just finished it—it was great! I'll need to check out Uprooted.

Cath, Spinning Silver is definitely worth your time. I enjoyed it and had a hard time putting it down near the end :) I'm definitely going to read Uprooted now. I started A Passage to India with a book club but had a newborn so ran out of steam. Since that baby is now 5 years old I look forward to finally finishing it :)

I just was not in the mood to read for a few months, so now I'm playing catch-up. I still need to read 6 more books this month to finish Pike's Peak before May. I have so many books that are in progress, I think I can finish many of these within a day or two of picking them back up again.

Just one more book to finish Pike's Peak!
