I keep seeing people rave about A Court of Mist and Fury but I'm still hesitant to go in. I think I'll just have to commit. Good to see a contemporary on here, though, I've heard good things about Beautiful Broken Things so I'm definitely going to have to move it up my TBR.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry that you've not read as much as you'd planned this year. That's how it goes, at least you've enjoyed most of what you've read.
