      That’s so great to hear! Do you have a favorite of the ones you’ve read? This is my first foray into Follett, and I’m going to have to read all of them now haha

      @@Shelf-Esteem Knightsbridge and Pillars of the Earth series are my favorite. But I love The Key to Rebecca, one of his spy novels (standalone). Listen, I tagged you last week but then I untagged you because I figured you might be too busy. But if you want me to tag you in The Counting the Days let me know.

      @@TheLinguistsLibrary ooo that all sounds fantastic! I would imagine given Follett’s ability to perfectly pace his books, the keys to Rebecca would be a compelling read - thanks for the recs!

    Excellent review Nikhil! I really need to pick up this series one day. I am a bit obsessed with World War, and in particular WW2, so this does sound very interesting.

      Thanks Cliff!! ☺️ it honestly sounds like it might be right up your alley - it covers the events leading up to the war exceptionally well, though I’m not nearly as versed on the subject as you, so would be interested in hearing your more nuanced perspective

      Yes. And the 3 prequels and the 13th book. It's a religious book. But really good. Suspenseful and kinda violent at parts
