Thanks for the suggestions. I have already downloaded the first two books from my library and looking forward to reading them.
Glad to help. I’ll release more lists soon so you’ll have a lot of reading material!
Great suggestions!
Surprising no one, I’ve read all of these. My favorite of this group would be “The Night Circus”. I’ve abandoned any hope of Martin ever finishing “A Song of Ice and Fire” but I suppose more improbable things have happened …
I’ve read The Night Circus and all five books of the A Song of Ice and Fire Series.
