I haven't read any yet but want to check out Days Without End, The Underground Railroad, Exit West and Autumn.

Oh dear, I've tried a couple and went 'Not for me!' Will source more at the library. I'm getting so picky though.

Which ones weren't you a fan of? Read the blurb of Solar Bones and have ruled that one out for me.

I'm waiting to read Ministry of Utmost Happiness. I've actually bought a few off Amazon and are on my kindle. So, soon!

Lincoln in the Bardo and History of Wolves annoyed me!
