I will be glad to.hsimone wrote: ↑28 Sep 2018, 20:58 @gali and @Gravy I would like to do a read along with either one or both of you, but I'm having trouble thinking of a book. I see you both are in a read-a-long, but The Girl in the Tower is the second in the series and I haven't read the first. Also, I can't seem to find the other two books from Katherine Arden that's listed in my library. Is there something either one of you have been itching to read and would want a partner to discuss the book? You both seem to read books that I think I would enjoy too. Let me know, and in the meantime, I'll try to keep thinking of options too.
What genre do you prefer?
Here some of the books on my reading list:
* "Nine Perfect Strangers" by Liane Moriarty
* "In a Dark, Dark Wood" by Ruth Ware
* "The Sisters of the Winter Wood" by Rena Rossner
* "Spellslinger" by Sebastien de Castell
* "The Wind in His Heart" by Charles de Lint
* "The Diviners" by Libba Bray
Maybe Gravy will have more suggestions.
