I just finished 56 Days a few days ago. I was guessing to the very end!! 😲. Thanks for recapping your favs. I have Migrations on my TBR. 🤣

I really love Seanan McGuire’s Way ward Children series also. I actually found recommendations to read Down Among the Sticks and Bones first, so I ended up doing that back when I read them and I was so glad I did. I felt like doing that ended up making me enjoy Every Heart a Doorway more than I would have because of knowing how the two characters got how they are in that book. I also felt reading the prequel first gave me a better understanding of the doorways and worlds having already read about two children. I think it could work well either order of the first two, but I just keep loving those books.

Gah! I need to read Maud Dixon. I’m not super interested in it, but I’m hoping it’s going to be one of your recs that I fall in love with so I want I try it.

[@ashleyslittlelibrary]

Fair warning the first 80 pages or so are suuuuper slow & kinda boring but the 2nd half of the book is really fun!

56 Days was a definite no for me. It was my least favorite of the year, I don't know. I just couldn't get into it. Glad you liked it though.

[@disanchez324]

I also like thrillers that deal with grief. Idk what that says about us as people 😂🤷‍♀️
