Well not sure which you will end up reviewing but I've added Gingerbread to my list!

I'm not big on the holiday rom-coms that tend to make the rounds this time of year, but I still wanted something holiday-adjacent, and this seems like a great fit!

Both my wife and I LOVED Gifted School. Such a fun, juicy read.

Oh my gosh, this makes me even more excited to read it! I was a bit intimidated by its size, but when I flipped through and saw emails and letters, I got so excited to read it!

The Gifted School was such a fun read, hard to put down and Elsewhere has been my absolute favourite and cannot stop recommending it! I gave up on Gingerbread about a third of the way, perhaps I’ll give it a chance of redemption

I enjoyed Gingerbread, but it is definitely not for everyone. I was in the mood for a strange and quiet fairy tale of sorts, and that's how it felt to me reading it, albeit darker and moodier than I was expecting. But it's definitely not a book I think everyone will love, which is totally okay! (And isn't Elsewhere amazing!? Why aren't more people reading it?!)

I usually enjoy darker subject matter but I was not able to suspend my belief for this one. I read another one of your recommendations, Greenglass House (not at all my usual genre) and loved it!! I was able to suspend belief in this one because the main character, Milo, gave himself over to imagination in order to solve the crime.
