Right now I'm finishing a second "snow on cover" book - Spinning Silver! I devoured half of it last night. Such a great read.

That's on my TBR list! So glad to hear it's a worthwhile read!

[Valerie]

Oryx and Crake is such a great book!

[Diana]

Wolf Hall is the still the master class in Mantel's Cromwell series, in my opinion (the two books that follow are also great, of course, but boy, if I could experience Wolf Hall again for the first time...)

Wow, THAT good?! Hmmm...

Finally read the first book of March: Book One today to celebrate Martin Luther King Day. It was one of the suggestions for "first in a series" on the APL ReadSquared site. Thanks for the suggestion!

Starting Wolf Hall thanks to Diana’s recommendation!
