That’s a bummer, Amy. Coincidentally, I am currently reading Everyone On This Train is a Suspect and authors blurbing each other (and why) is a plot point

Also, now that I have listened to The Mimicking of Known Successes I think I remember deciding to wait to read it until the second book was out (The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles, these titles are so good!) but at this point it’s only a wait of a couple of weeks so that has worked out well for me

Amy, I read it, but I kind of adored it. Sorry.

I'm currently reading Fourth Wing, which I'm both loving and hating. On the plus side, it has a kick ass disabled main character, but on the negative side the writing is just so so bad.

I haven’t read the second 4th wing book yet but the first one the end was rather predictable. But it wasn’t any worse than a lot of the stuff I read, so…

sj, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I just wanted to enjoy it much more than I did.

Everyone on This Train is a Suspect sounds great. I read West Heart Kill and it blew me away -- it's meta all the way, and in the best way.

Ooh, that sounds fun!

I’m almost done with the first Fourth Wing book. Meara, it isn’t really the plotting or such that I’m having a problem with. It’s predictable in places and definitely is derivative of a bunch of other books, but it’s the actual writing itself that is really annoying me. When I read on my kindle I tend to underline particularly fun turns of phrases or just sentences I really enjoy and 80% of the way through this book the only stuff I have underlined are plot points and world building that I expect to be important later, but the use of language itself is just very dull.

There's a new T. Kingfisher horror novel out.

Oooh, thanks for the reminder, Toddson! I preordered it ages ago. So, it should be waiting for me on my kindle tonight!

I was reading Ask A Manager and this was mentioned. um ....

*snerk*

Thanks for the laugh-snort, Todd!
