This Is How You Lose the Time War - Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

This sci-fi book was deceptively short but it has left me thinking. At first I wasn't sure what to make of the premise, but it didn't take me long to get into the story and I was turning pages at quite a clip to see how things turned out. Looking forward to the Book Club discussion on this one. 

This Strange Eventful History - Claire Messud

This book would be accurately described as a "sprawling family saga" and I enjoyed it. At times it got a bit wordy and it could have been shorter, but I loved the structure of the book and enjoyed seeing how things played out. 

The Dance Tree - Kiran Millwood Hargrave

I enjoyed this book, a work of historical fiction based on true events - which of course makes me want to research them, as they are fascinating! I really liked the main characters, even when they were frustrating - and disliked the villain(s), of course. Will we ever stop bigotry and hate? I don't know but I know I will keep reading and keep hoping.
