Becoming Duchess Goldblatt is unusual. I only knew about it because I follow her on Twitter.

I’m so glad to hear that about Mountains! When it came out there were crickets.

It’s heartbreaking, but the writing is exquisite.

Vikings on audio?! I bet that was interesting!

If you were going to pick one, I’d say Against the Loveless World. The story is more immersive and complete…if that makes sense.

You are someone I really think would appreciate it because it doesn’t cut anyone a break. Harsh truths.

It’s challenging, but in a way I appreciated. Happy holidays to you, too!

I know they might work better at another time, so am still keeping them on my TBR list. Maybe you’ll see them on my best backlist books for 2021!

I loved When We Were Vikings! I listened to the audio and it was great!

I just finished The Mountains Sing but I would not have thought that one was underrated, I heard so much buzz about. Anyway, it was a wonderful book.
