Grazie for the tag, Becca! I’ll start pondering my answers. I see you what you mean, it’s hard to narrow down the choices! You made great picks - and I’m tempted to add that Michael Ondaatje book to my wishlist now.
Good luck, I'll look forward to your answers when you get to it! Warlight is definitely underrated, but everyone I've seen who has read it likes it, so well worth a shot.
Thanks for doing the tag, Paradise Falls sounds interesting!
It was a definite fun tag, glad you made it... except it made me want to go back to Italy so bad!!!
Ciao Rebecca, thank you for doing our tag! I added Warlight and Things in Jars to my endless read wish list 😉
No one has ever seen the summit of Mt. TBR it is so endless, I know that feeling! 🤣 Hope you enjoy those whenever you get around to reading them though.
I'm eager to get to Paradise Falls. Things in Jars sounds fascinating. Catherine M. Valente seems to be an acquired taste that is not for me. I have DNFed 2 of her books, though I'd like to retry Space Opera now that I'm a Eurovision fan. Her sentences are just so long! Thanks for tagging me.
Paradise Falls & Things in Jars seems very likely to be books you will like, though Paradise Falls is a but heartbreaking (rightly so) meaning when you have the spoons for that, and Things in Jars isn't over the top IMO but does have some graphically gruesome stuff. So both likely need the right timing.
Valente is DEFINITELY an author I tell people to sample before they buy and DNF early, because her work is just sooooo very marmite. Very well could just not be for you, I heard there is a sequel for Space Opera, so if you are going to be retrying that is great timing.
