One of Us Is Lying

I'll second the Grace Year~!

I've been lingering and reading ya'll's comments as I've listened to the first two books. I will probably jump in on the third one once you get to it!

From the acclaimed author of Finn comes a masterful reimagining of Dickens’s classic A Christmas Carol with this darkly entertaining exploration of the relationship between Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley.

“Marley was dead, to begin with,” Charles Dickens tells us at the beginning of A Christmas Carol. But in Jon Clinch’s ingenious novel, Jacob Marley, business partner to Ebenezer Scrooge, is very much alive: a rapacious and cunning boy who grows up to be a forger, a scoundrel, and the man who will be both the making and the undoing of Scrooge.

They meet as youths in the gloomy confines of Professor Drabb’s Academy for Boys, where Marley begins their twisted friendship by initiating the innocent Scrooge into the gentle art of extortion. Years later, in the dank heart of London, their shared ambition manifests itself in a fledgling shipping empire. Between Marley’s genius for deception and Scrooge’s brilliance with numbers, they amass a considerable fortune of dubious legality, all rooted in a pitiless commitment to the soon-to-be-outlawed slave trade.

As Marley toys with the affections of Scrooge’s sister, Fan, Scrooge falls under the spell of Fan’s best friend, Belle Fairchild. Now, for the first time, Scrooge and Marley find themselves at cross-purposes. With their business interests inextricably bound together and instincts for secrecy and greed bred in their very bones, the two men engage in a shadowy war of deception, false identities, forged documents, theft, and cold-blooded murder. Marley and Scrooge are destined to clash in an unforgettable reckoning that will echo into the future and set the stage for Marley’s ghostly return.

Meticulously crafted and beguilingly told, Marley revisits and illuminates one of Charles Dickens’s most cherished works to spellbinding effect.

Can we be a best friend trio?! I LOVE ILLUMINAE!

Anyone on and wanna sprint?

Hoping to participate on this one - which would be my first BOTM with this group! I'm like 17th in line at my library on 10 copies so fingers crossed I can get it in time.

I recently cleaned out my TBR shelf on here and since we are in August already, I'm aiming to take the oldest 6 books (2011-2014) and get them read finally! They are:

2011:
Graceling

2012:
Angelfall
Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin
Anna Dressed in Blood
Falling Kingdoms

2014:
Seraphina

What's the reading schedule for this one going to be?

Is it too late to jump in on this challenge? I only have 6 books on my TBR between 2011 (oldest) and 2014 so thinking of trying to knock those 6 out before December 31st!
