I’ve read 9 of the 10. My favs of those are The Rent Collector, My Loving Vigil Keeping, and The 13th Day of Christmas. If I could just buy one from each category it would be The Rent Collector, I hardly ever buy books, but this one really grabbed me, and My Loving Vigil Keeping, I’ve read that one twice and never tired of it, love it!
I have read: The 13th Day of Christmas, and The Rent Collector.
I LOVED both of them.
If I could only pick one…The Rent Collector…the most amazing book I read last year!
Read them all. I loved The Rent Collector. It was heart-wrenching and hopeful at the same time. And it really made me think. Also really liked Dancing on Broken Glass. I was so fascinated by the treatment of mental illness. Very good.
I really liked all the Historicals but one. But my favorite was Within the Dark Hills by Sian Ann Bessey.
