I am about a third into The Safekeep and it’s good so far. Stoneyard Devotional is a good book but wacky in places. So lovely to see your video appear❤Happy reading Camila 😊
I adore this Shortlist. I’ve read James, The Safe Keep, Held, and Orbital (enjoyed them all). I still need to read Creation Lake and Stone Yard Devotional. I do plan to read the rest of the Long List (I’ve also read Headshot, and it’s by far my least favorite-so repetitive).
Headshot is a test of perseverance! I loved Held. It's the first book I read and I just happened to be in the right headspace for it. I managed to find a used copy of Fugitive Pieces and I'm looking forward to reading it. And I thought James was interesting. I just have to find a copy of Orbital to read, and I own Creation Lake but haven't read it yet, though it'll be my next read after Wandering Stars. The other 2 books on the shortlist are my lowest rated books I've read in years 😂 but there's not many people who feel the same way. But that's ok!
They shortlisted all five books I have read! (And one that I was planning on skipping). I'm very happy with four of them, but didn't get on with Held at all, and I'm a bit meh that I'll have to read Creation Lake now. 😂 I recommend Stone Yard Devotional. I think you'd like that. And it seems universally appreciated. Held is a marmite book, you'll either commune with it on a spiritual level or you'll think it's a pompous, disjointed snooze fest. The Safekeep is either a book where you are in suspense wondering what is going on, and then you are blown away by the reveal in part 3 (most British readers), or you see what's going on from the first chapter but you're still enjoying the story (most readers from continental Europe). The ending is divisive, but personally I liked it.

Ah...you've convinced me to read Orbital now.....🥰
I have been in the same mood. Having a hard time creating or watching ❤❤
I like to write down quotes before I return library books too. 😊

The safe keep is one I am toying reading, so I would love to hear your thoughts on it
