And a couple of others that Iāve heard good things about or enjoyed other books by the author
Back Trouble by Clare Chambers https://www.amazon.co.uk/Back-Trouble-Clare-Chambers-ebook/dp/B004J4VZ8Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_102?qid=1695827539&s=digital-text&sr=1-102

Havenāt read it but my partner is a huge fan of the author
Iāve bought that when it was previously on offer, but not read it yet. But mainly because I also bought the authorās The Island Of Missing Trees, which I just didnāt get on with (nor did my partner), despite the plot having some potential. So itās just bumped this one down my backlog list unfortunately!
Turns out we actually already have this one in hardback and my partner highly recommends it, but if you didnāt get on with the other one then I get why youād push it down the backlog!
Yeah, it could be that itās amazing and Iām missing out due to the one bad experience, but will keep it waiting for a while just in case!
Always been tempted by this author, largely because she is a loud and unrepentant metalhead
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I am huge fan of Gothic metal, industrial metal, Viking-Pagan-folk metal and metal core. Especially dark, loud, aggressive Scandinavian metal bands. I listen to this kind of music on repeat while I am writing my novels.
N.K. Jemisin - The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
(Will keep buying her books on deals despite not having read any yetā¦)
Becky Chambers - The Galaxy, and the Ground Within: Wayfarers 4
Ursula K. Le Guin - The Other Wind: The Sixth Book of Earthsea
A pricey £1.99 but not bad for one of the most discussed books of the year
Have just bought this also:
Furies: Stories of the wicked, wild and untamed - feminist tales from 15 bestselling, award-winning authors
Including Margaret Atwood, Ali Smith and others.
My favourite of the wayfarers books although itās the one that benefits the most from having read the others
YES! Fankoo
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel
The Candy House by Jennifer Egan (Goon Squad sequel)
Both absolutely brilliant books, I think Candy House might actually be better than Goon Squad
Fun sci-fi about a society where caste is based on ability to see certain colours
Instant buy for both, added them to the increasingly large pile
Letās be having it.
Uprooted by Naomi Novak.
Fantasy based on fairy tales. Had it on my wishlist so someone must have recommended it to me at some point but canāt remember who!
Read it a while ago so canāt really remember the details, but from memory itās somewhere between āfine/10ā and ābetter than the old beardy bloke fitting in as many tired fantasy tropes per chapter as they canā
