bobblybear Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Ooh, I do love Mandel's Station Eleven. Steadily making my way through her works and finding the vast majority very enjoyable... Which one would you recommend next? Station Eleven is the only one I've read. Quote
MrCat Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I bought this fairly recently, but I'm a bit intimidated by it. Is it fairly easy to get through? It's very easy to read and understand. Her language is simple and explicit if that helps. Quote
Anna Begins Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 nteresting! I've been looking forward to reading this. Is it better than The Sisters Brothers, do you think? (I assume you've read that...) That's a hard call!! What a position to be put in Quote

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs Favourite non-fiction book? An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield I'm happy you liked We Should Hang Out Sometime so much for it to make your 2016 BCF Book Awards list . The same goes for the other two books quoted: both are on my TBR so that's promising . Quote

Onion Budgie Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Favourite read? The Man From Primrose lane by James Renner Yay! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! Quote
Nollaig Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Yay! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! It has issues - namely that it basically switches genre halfways through, so people not expecting the later twist might not like it, and those of us like me who knew something like that was coming, are waiting and waiting for it to happen. So definitely not flawless, but I let it go, coz I really liked it Quote
