Hild is one of the first books I need to read in 2015 - you've spoke about it before, and it sounds amazing :DDD

(and cos I'm a moron who pressed enter BEFORE the next sentence)

Hope your 2015 is a much better year for you :))

Dude, you are going to ADORE Hild. I can't wait for the second volume to come out!!

BRB adding them both to my to-read list :D

(also, if you have a spare spot on yours, add "Bitter Greens" and "The Wild Girl" by Kate Forsyth, cos THEY ARE AMAZING :D)

Oh sweet, "Bitter Greens" is one I'd written down for later reference! Giving it a bump up the list for your rec! :)

LET ME FLAIL AT YOU. Just, three women's stories, all woven around the story of Rapunzel and the court of the sun-king and the women who was Titian's muse and basically its fantastic. The Wild Girl is about Dortchen Wild who helped with the collection of Grimm's fairytales, and puts you through the wringer, but is worth reading :D

This really put a smile on my face :o)
