Haha yeah this would not be a fun book to lug around. It's also my friend's copy so I'm avoiding taking it anywhere out of fear of damaging it. How did the audiobook handle all the footnotes?

I'm reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. It's an alternative history fantasy taking place in 19th centure England. I like it a lot but it's very long. I think it will take me most of the month to finish.

The Greek Orthodox church celebrates Christmas on Dec 25th so it isn't really an orthodox thing fyi

Yes, I loved Spinning Silver too! I'd say that while the stories are very different, both had a similar cozy fairy tale feeling to them. If you liked one, I think you'd like the other!

Finished Uprooted by Naomi Novik and absolutely loved it. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy fairy tale type of story.

Started reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Haven't gotten very far but I'm liking it a lot.
