Personally I like it. It was different than the normal fantasy I read. it is set in the Ottoman Empire which I LOVED and involves djinn which aren't used very often. I have the second and third books which I plan on reading.

35559 My book club hates me. We are reading a historical fiction for next month. What was the pick. The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1) by Ken Follett . Over 1000 pages so good for the challenge. I feel like I am in college again.

35559 I am excited to start reading. Just wondering if there is a format you want us to use to post a completed book.

35559 Reading all the recommendations:

me - happily holding my amazon gift card leftover from my birthday.

husband - "are you buying more books"

me - hisses like a rabid raccoon and takes the laptop else where to add to book horde.

35559 So I was looking over the task list and "Read a book recommended by someone on your team" is listed 3 times.

I have been burrowed deep in my sci-fi and fantasy horde for a while. Could you lovely people give me some recommendations please.
