Leticia (leticiatoraci) Interesting list, some were 5 stars like Siren Queen, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau and A Half-Built Garden.

Others I didn't care to read, or were 3 stars like Stars and Bones and some I never heard of.

Gabi | 433 comments Wait, what? There is a John Crowley on the list that wasn't on my radar. I have to rectify this asap!

I've read only Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr by him and it was very good. If you plan to read Flint and Mirror by him I'll likely join (it ought to be in libraries already)

Hmmm. One is about evolved raccoons. Sign me up!

And one is in Scots! That makes it only the 2nd SF novel in Scots that I'm aware of. I'm going to need to read that. (Hope there is an audio version as well.)

Signed :)

That one I've seen praised elsewhere but decided not to try because for the language and contexts on which I know too little
