What is the title? Yes, I am interested.
Circe by Madeline Miller, Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky, and The Library of the Unwritten are on my list.
A Dream So Dark by L.L. McKinney and the first book are on my list as well, but I didn't read the first book yet.
I am game for all of the above.
Anyone interested in reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow?

I completely forgot to give you the title!
It's The Hollow Places.
I completely agree (it would be so much easier).
(I still don't quite get what happens that keeps me from processing them. I've found out recently that other people have similar issues, so maybe someone will figure it out one day (yes, I am a total geek that would like to know what is going on in my brain to make this a thing). )

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I have gotten so far as to put my bookmark in it.
(I'll post on the thread when I've actually started it. )

Thank you for the title.
I have started "The Ten Thousand Doors of January", so no rush. Btw, it is about doors that lead to other worlds so I think you would have liked it.

Yeah, it looks really interesting! Even with the historical aspect.gali wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 23:44Thank you for the title.

I'll probably sample it at some point.
(I probably would've gone for a read-a-long, but I don't want to make anyone have to wait on me. )
If you have anything in mind for a read-a-long with no specific time in mind and it's something you think would interest me, I'd love to try getting my hands on it for a read-a-long.

I was wondering if you'd be interested a book called "And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer", by Fredrik Backman. This is the same author as "A Man Called Ove". You can check reviews and let me know what you think.
* I wouldn't be ready to start until about a week from now.

"And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer" is rather a short one, but I am interested. As I have a few books I need to finish first, a week or so from now suits me.

Anyone interested in reading Blood Heir by Amelie Wen Zhao with me? :techie-studyingbrown: It's a good fit for this month's genre, falls under fantasy. It has 42 chapters starring a princess, who is falsely accused of murdering her father, trying to clear her name with the help of a conman while also preventing others from finding her dangerous magic.

It sounds good. A pity it is just the first book in the trilogy. Do you know if it stands on its own? I dislike starting unfinished series, as they tend to end in a cliff-hanger.dr_0saki wrote: ↑07 Mar 2020, 00:04 Hello!

If you do, I can start it after I finish my current book or whenever you want.
