I loved that book! I recommend continuing the series with Home and Lila, though I haven't read Lila yet. I liked Home too, but not as much as Gilead.

Another one done After the Fall a 5 star book, emotional and draining but a wonderfully written book

My 2016 TBR Challenge - 10 books
I've been eyeing up this challenge for a few weeks now. I was having trouble deciding on a challenge for this year but reducing my tbr list seems like the best option. I'm sure I will read more than 10, it just leaves me flexibility to read other books that I feel like, including sequels (probably of some of the ones in this list as well!)

1 - The Princess Bride 6th April
2 - The Wise Man's Fear 10th July
3 - The Colour of Magic 8th May
4 - Queen of Shadows 16th March
5 - Alanna: The First Adventure 5th November
6 - Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye 14th April
7 - Assassin's Apprentice 19th August
8 - Nemi - Vol. 1 2nd May
9 - Daughter of Smoke & Bone 15th July
10 - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change 25th May

10/10!
