The Demon Lover is her first endeavor writing fantasy solo, as Juliet Dark. I’m three chapters in and already enthralled. I also enjoyed The Drowning Tree, though I think Lake was much better. I have not looked into Russel yet, but I’m intrigued! Thanks so much for sharing your interests! I love hearing what people enjoy reading—sometimes there’s a new discovery just waiting to be found.

The lake of Dead Languages is one of my favourite books. I have not read her fantasy books, which she writes with her husband – does she? – but I did buy them for my daughter. I was told The Secret History by Donna Tartt was as good but I don’t think so myself. The Drowning Tree was also good, I love all that mythology weaving through it all.
I love Mary Doria Russel. The Sparrow is my all round favourite. You have to read it if you haven’t and let me know. The Children of God is it’s conclusion but for some reason, her book A Thread of Grace left me chilled and needing forgiveness for just being a part of the human collective. I literally cried in the shower after I finished it one morning. It was either brilliant or I was having a really bad day lol
I love murder mysteries, they’re my go to easy read. I’ve read everything by P.D. James and am now on Susan Hill. Before Hill wrote mystery books she wrote one called I’m the King of the Castle. This one also left me cold. I’m going to have to pick that one up again just to see if it still moves me as much.
Also, Ian McEwan, Louise Penny (my latest fad) and, yes, the classics. Jane Eyre, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc. etc. Mostly English Literature though, I don’t think we got as much American Literature in school.
These are just a few of my favourites. I get excited just thinking about them
