That moment when...

... you realize that the entire pile of books on your nightstand was recommended by other members of the Queen's Thief fandom... except that one random book you came across at the library.



Can you guess the outlier?

Crown Duel! Murderbot! Gerry Durrell! ... Jeeves, is that you?

Let me know what you think of Sunshield!

I'm going to have to guess Jeeves because it seems the most out of genre, but I've run across a few fans of both series. Some great ones here and others I'm going to have to check out myself now.

And I'll guess it's Song of Achilles. I feel like we talked about all the others at the recent chats. Some great choices!

Update: I've finished them all.

My Family and Other Animals - I enjoyed the family interactions more than the 10-year-old boy obsession with animals (particularly insects), but will definitely recommend to people who like the outdoors and natural history more than I do.

The Song of Achilles - Definitely an strong option for MWT fans, specifically those with an interest in Greek mythology and the ancient classics (Illiad). Likely to be a particular favorite for those in the Kamet and Costis have a relationship that extends beyond friendship camp.

All Systems Red - Awesome first line. Read practically in one sitting. Going to put the next on hold. May be the only work of fiction I get my husband to read this year.

Jeeves and the King of Clubs - Not as good as Francis Spufford writing in the style of C.S. Lewis, but well done. Bertie wasn't quite spot-on, but overall it was a lot of fun and I'd happily read another.

Now I've started Deeplight by Frances Hardinge, which a blogger I follow because she's an MWT fan recommended. Anyone else read it?

Need I say I'm enjoying the long, holiday weekend?
