This weekend I read House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig, which is a YA fantasy/fairy tale retelling, for my bookclub’s pick this month. Not my usual genre, but it was enjoyable for what it was trying to do. The world it’s set in was interesting, and I enjoyed a lot of the characters. The climax and the third act was a bit shaky compared to the rest of the book, though.

Started reading I Have Some Questions For You by Rebecca Makkai. It’s got this device that the author is using where the narrator is speaking to another person (not the reader), who I think will show up later in the story. Not sure if I like it or not so far.
