I was looking at some of the previous lists and I hadn't read it then, but if The Library Book had been on the list this year I totally would've gotten it.

I love The Library Book. And the chapters are so short I remember it being great for bedtime reading. As opposed to The Hot Zone, which the Math Greek sent me just before the start of shelter-in-place when I was too scared to read it. I finally did in the summer. In fact, those two, and the other non-fiction book on the list, The Feather Thief, were all gifts from the MG. I'm not a huge fan of non-fiction but they were all great reads that I would recommend.

I finished Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo last night. I absolutely loved it!

I remember really disliking the writing style in The Hot Zone.

I thought The Coming Plague by Laurie Garrett was much more clearly presented and engaging to read.

And it appears that it is currently free in Kindle format: [link]

Volans, so like Low Definition for book quotes.

Yes! And now I need Low Def.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

I did too! It was exactly my jam.

Volans, me too and now I’m out of new Bardugo to read except for the Grishaverse companion book about the lives of the saints. I can’t wait for the sequel to King of Scars to come out next year.

It took me a minute to get into Ninth House, but once I did, I tore through it.

I think the only ones I won't reread are the original trilogy. But Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and King of Scars? Yes, please.

The original trilogy is my least favorite, but I still really enjoyed them, and I’m looking forward to the Netflix series.

I loved them while reading them, too, but I just don't feel a need to go back. And yes, I am super excited about the Netflix series.

I don’t get all the fandom swooning over The Darkling. He’s a pretty irredeemable villain imo whereas Kaz is not.
