How funny! I started reading 'The Spear Cuts Through Water' early last year, not having heard much about it, just because I had this feeling I should read it. Then life distracted me and I put it down, but earlier today it popped into my head spontaneously when I was trying to decide on a fantasy to read, and now I've seen your video! The stars are aligning - I must read this immediately!

[@ChantaalReads]

Oh I love that!!! I hope you enjoy!

[@MicahRion]

I'm inspired by how you track how diversely you're reading, because, exactly how you said, it's not on a granular level. I wanna set up something similar!

[@ChantaalReads]

Thanks! It's super easy once you get into the habit.

You're so right that it's baffling that The Spear Cuts Through Water wasn't nominated for anything. Awards committees were sleeping on it just like everyone else. They must just not have read it!

[@ChantaalReads]

Seriously!! And it’s the type of books awards normally push so hard.
