this is one of my favourite books of all time! i think it’s so lovely - though i fully understand the dragging. even with my love of it i think the ending is incredibly flat.I finally finished Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle. I can see why it's considered a classic, but it dragged towards the end. I would've liked 100 pages less!
Ooh, I didn't know that. Thanks. I will check it outIf you're interested, there's a film adaptation from 2003 with Bill Nighy and Romola Garai.
I love the song of Achilles!!!!!! Also have great circle but haven’t read it yetGot my latest 'haul' in from Foyles today, will hopefully keep me busy on holiday in Florida next month (I'm extremely lucky to have this holiday I am aware but recent news has made me quite cross to be going and spending money in the States right now...but that's another issue).
Great Circle by Maggie Shipsted
Song of Achilles (I have been wanting to read this for so long!)
For The Wolf by Hannah Whitton
Snow Country by Sebastian Faulks
Silent Companion by Laura Purcell
What shall I start first! The last few seem like cosy winter reads, so might go in chronological order.
I loved Song of Achilles (and Circe). I consider both of them summer reads - unless you want Greek escapism during the winter months.Got my latest 'haul' in from Foyles today, will hopefully keep me busy on holiday in Florida next month (I'm extremely lucky to have this holiday I am aware but recent news has made me quite cross to be going and spending money in the States right now...but that's another issue).

I'm just about to start reading this. Going off some goodreads reviews it's going to be a good one...Sorrow & Bliss is in todays £3 audible sale. Just bought it.
I adored Six of Crows. The characters have stuck with me for a long time after I finished the duology. And I'm someone who never reads fantasy or YA. Life's way to short to stick with something you don't enjoy.I’ve hit a slump. I’ve been between 10% and 20% all week of the final revival of opal and nev. It’s not grabbing me at all. I’ve got loads of others I could read like sorrow and bliss, detransition baby, these violent delights, great circle, six of crows … what would you do??
