3. What would you recommend?

This was fabulous but I also liked The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
and The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant

Just finished and really enjoyed it. Nice twist on a classic story.

Joanne | 477 comments I am reading in order and because I was a bit ahead in the challenge, I decided to tackle a longer book. So I read The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel.

I liked the book but I've heard that the series goes downhill and becomes very difficult to read, so I've decided not to read any more. All I'm really interested in is whether Broud gets what he deserves and what happens to Ayla's son, and from the reviews, it looks like we never go back to the clan and see what happens.

The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children #1) by Jean M. Auel

Hannah Peterson | 700 comments 1. What are you reading?
I read This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar.

2. Did you have a lot of options for this prompt?
I don't know - as soon as I saw the prompt, I thought of This Is How You Lose the Time War and I never wavered from that plan! I think if I hadn't been able to get my hands on the book I might have read The Priory of the Orange Tree, though.

3. What would you recommend?
The first book with a long title that comes to mind is definitely The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - I thought this one was so cozy and relaxing to read.
Another fun title is If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino. This is such a strange and interesting book, if you're into experimental, "meta" sorts of fiction.
