I also really want to read Hamnet! And also intimidated by Jonathan Strange. But there is this nice gentlemen in a hat somewhere online that really seems to like it😄
I loved Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. I heard about it on a podcast about Macs back when I cared about such things. The guy recommending it did so because of its length and he figured it was a good way to get good value out of Audible. I'd like to eyeball read it, especially if I had a copy like the one you have!
Why am I just now realizing that Jonathan Strange and Piranesi are written by the same author?! Oof, if an author tracked me down and asked why I didn't give their book a higher rating, I wouldn't read from them again. I feel like I see that behavior more often in the indie space (though I know trad pub authors have done it too) which sadly makes me more hesitant to read indie books. I read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and dnf'd it with about an hour left in the audiobook. The story was very repetitive and the characters are pretty cardboard
Yeah indie authors don’t have others to tell them what isn’t author behaviour and when this happens I get so uncomfortable. And his books weren’t bad! Just not incredible
Okay so I’m hearing I’ve gotta organise a buddy read of Jonathan Strange
Yes yea you are
I will join you both! It's been on my TBR forever.
(Not reading Black Beauty though 🤣🤣 I never even saw Bambi or The Lion King)
@RaeLovesToRead the lion king?!!! Not my fav Disney film ever. But feel free to join us ! We’re thinking September and it’ll probs be on fable.
@@ladymairreads It had sad bits. I was a sensitive child! Haha
Echoes Saga I would really like to read, though I'm def not a prose snob! I'm happy to read very simple prose as long as the story is good.
Simple prose can work! Sanderson is simple but he has compelling character and world to make up for it
I also really want to read Hamnet!

You make a good point! I should trust this gentleman in a hat and read it.

I’m so lucky my grandma had this copy! Even if I hate it not sure I could part with this book
@@ladymairreads You won't hate it. I promise.
