Ay jay jay... Winter has got its perks - reading under a blanket and so forth. <br /><br />Love your books! I've seen Lincoln in the Bardo around, yup - something that I will definitely read. Lilian Boxish takes a walk - what a great title! Hope you get to read it and then share it with us real soon. Love the cover for Unmentionable as well!Elza Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147340976876251074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-13688816399783166112017-03-14T14:57:57.993-10:002017-03-14T14:57:57.993-10:00I should be getting it soon too!

I don't think you'd be completely lost if you started with a later book (I actually started with book 3, I think, and then went back and read 1 and 2), but you might enjoy the whole series! :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-43757309373813403022017-03-14T11:09:14.113-10:002017-03-14T11:09:14.113-10:00I love the sound of Unmentionable, and have put it...I love the sound of <i>Unmentionable</i>, and have put it on my "for later" list at the library (because I've already got way too many books on the hold list, many of them paused so they don't all come in at once. Yes, I'm addicted to my library!) <i>Lincoln in the Bardo</i> sounds really interesting, and <i>A Terrible Beauty</i> was pretty good.

However, if you want to learn more about Victorian life when you're done, I highly recommend How To Be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman.<br /><br />Also, if you want to learn more about transgender people, I highly recommend Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt. It's my library's community read right now and Nicole actually came and spoke and I hear that she was awesome (I was working so I missed it.) Anyhow, it's a great introduction because it's the story of Nicole and her family learning all about what it means to be transgender so the reader can learn along with them. The dad was pretty conservative and narrow-minded to begin with, but in the course of the book turned into her biggest champion. It's a pretty quick, easy read but very good!3goodratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352969901692029558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-75387782362298423652017-03-14T08:39:33.046-10:002017-03-14T08:39:33.046-10:00I heard like nothing but good things about Exit We...I heard like nothing but good things about Exit West so I am super excited about this one. some of the others look really good as well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209774851625668155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-43591231437541203262017-03-14T03:55:57.014-10:002017-03-14T03:55:57.014-10:00The Mother's Promise looks good.
