I’ve heard great things about Sleeping Giants and The House Between Tides. All is Not Forgotten looks good too. Great list!

The only one I’ve read is Betty Smith, many years ago. I don’t remember much, just that it made me sad. I started an EarthSea book once, but forgot it on a subway and wasn’t intrigued enough to get a new copy. Horrible, I know. I still plan to take it up again one day.

Hmm, there are hardships in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, but I actually found it very upbeat.
well, it took me 50 years to get to Ursula, so who I am to judge? lol. But you should definitely give it another try. maybe my review will convince you to do it: https://wordsandpeace.com/2016/11/21/book-review-a-wizard-of-earthsea-classics-spin-14/

Ahhhh you hadn’t read any Ursula Le Guin before?? I’m so excited for her! Her Earthsea series is much, much different from most of the rest of her works (as they tend to by sci-fi leaning), but she’s got great writing and the Earthsea series holds a special place for me since it was a childhood favourite!

so you definitely recommend I read the whole series then? I also plan to read some of her scifi. Which one would you recommend? I know I can’t believe it only took me 50 years… Though I have the excuse that I don’t think she was that popular for French kids when I grew up

Fifty-five is a lot of new authors. Thank you for sharing your favorites.
Next year you will be on my list of new authors. I have A Light to Enlighten the Darkness on its way to me.

oh wow, what an honor! Though actually only the introduction is by me, all the rest are excerpts of Medieval mothers and fathers 😉

I have been meaning to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for such a long time. Maybe next year will be the year I finally get to it.

Yay for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Betty Smith is so talented and that book is one I reread every few years- it’s one of very few I regularly reread. So glad you discovered her this year!
