    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.

      I loved this book! But it’s physically huge and not very commute friendly lol. I ended up switching to the audiobook to get it done.

        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 read her novel Piranesi and loved it so much I immediately wanted to read it again when I finished. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell has been on my list forever; I just need to get around to it!

        I haven’t read Piranesi yet but I very much want to! Hopefully I can get to it soon but my list of books to read is a mile long
