Which should I choose first? :D

Sleeping Giants. You will finish in 1-2 days. Its excellent.

Magyk is such a fun middle-grade fantasy. I need to get back to it.

I Remember You actually creeped me out. I hate creepy kids. 😖

Children of Time, because I want to read it too!! 😂

Good luck and happy reading

I gave Babel, Dog on It, Early Riser, Killers of a Certain Age, Patient Zero, Shadowmarch, Skyward, The Blessing Way, The Time Machine, and Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers at least 4 stars, so I would recommend any of those. The mysteries are all fast reads, but if you're looking for a slower pace, great world-building, and great character development, you can never go wrong with Tad Williams.

100 books challenging but doable and so many good ones to choose from. Happy reading!

I love this list!! We have a few series in common so I hope to tackle them as well.

I loved all of these books so much, can't wait to hear your thoughts!

The Women
The Housemaid
Sleeping Giants
Remarkably Bright Creatures
Patient Zero
Long Bright River
Keep It in the Family

I'm trying to read Agatha Christie and I'd like to read Mrs. Pollifax as well, so I'm eager to see what you think.

Surprisingly, I have only read a short number of your books although most of them are on my TBR.

Here are the ones I'd recommend:
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse!!!
Long Bright River
The Passengers
Remarkably Bright Creatures
Babel
Fragile
The Last House on Needless Street
The Plot

The others I read that were just all right for me, but others love:
A Study in Drowning
Tales from Watership Down
The Housemaid
The Raven Boys
The Time Machine

Enjoy!

What a great list! I've rad some, but not too many, and have quite a few other on my TBR.

I can't wait to see your picks, happy reading!

So many excellent books there, Linette and so many authors I've not tried.... Nasty!! I'll keep an eye on your thoughts to see if I want to delve into the unfamiliar ones. Good luck!

Love your lists! Looking forward to your reviews.

Happy reading

Great lists!
