Megan | 487 comments Title: The Midnight Library
Author:Matt Haig
Would you recommend this book? Yes, and I'd pass along the same piece of advice I received from the person who recommended it to me -- stick with the book because the ending/payoff is worth it.

Erica | 1268 comments Title: A Spindle Splintered
Author: Alix E. Harrow

I would recommend this to anyone who likes fairy tales. The author plays with the Sleeping Beauty story in a clever way. I loved this novella.

Author: Nino Cipri
Would you recommend this book? Yes. I'm not a huge fan of SFF, and I really enjoyed this. I especially enjoyed the characters and look forward to readin Defekt. I hope the writing is similar and that the plot is character-driven too.

Britany | 1719 comments Title: One Italian Summer
Author: Rebecca Serle
Would you Recommend? Ehhhhh I gave it 3 stars, you've got to be ok with suspending belief a bit and the plot devices were a little thick and didn't really add to the story for me. The MC is very annoying.

Lucie Moulton | 9 comments Title: The Ten Thousand Doors of January
Author: Alix E. Harrow
Recommend: Yes. I slowly savored this read throughout July. It ran a little slow at times but there was lots of beautiful prose. I enjoyed it! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

JessicaMHR | 588 comments Title: The Love That Split the World
Author: Emily Henry
Recommend?: Yes. It is a YA novel which is not what Emily Henry has become famous for recently but, still this is a good book.

Udari | 38 comments Title: Piranesi
Author: Susanna Clarke

Would you recommend this book? I'm not sure. I couldn't really get into it. It could just be the wrong book at the wrong time for me.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 780 comments Title: Something Rotten (book four in Thursday Next series)
Author: Jasper Fforde
Recommend: While I enjoy this series, it may not appeal to everyone. I enjoy the alternate reality, humor and book-related content, but I know many of my reading friends would not.
