Also began a THE GOD IS NOT WILLING selective reread ahead of NO LIFE FORSAKEN. ..and damn, this really was a great book.
If you have time, I'd say to just do the full reread on tGinW as it's shorter that most other Malazan novels and there really doesn't seem to be any slack to it. I've heard the narrator was really good too, if you go the earbook route like usual.
For myself, I'm about 100 pages from the end of my own tGinW reread and finished of Frankenstein last night. I was surprised at how beautifully Frankenstein is written. A lot of the classics I've been digging into are known for their prose but I haven't really seen much talk about how good Frankenstein's is.
Next up is Dracula. -

Finished the First Law trilogy - I definitely want to read more Abercrombie, ...
You're in for a treat, his writing - which was fine in TFL - just gets better and better from there.
This reminds me that I have The Devils queued up on Audible and I should get around to listening to it. Maybe after Stonewielder...
Yes. You should. Maybe even before Stonewielder.
I'm halfway through SW and I don't really want to dip out tbh but you've convinced me to make it my next book!
That's fair, I suppose. But the hype for this one is well deserved. -

Finished up MADAME BOVARY tonight. I think I need to let this one sit a bit and digest the ending because that was pretty bleak. Poor Berthe. Clearly the novel has a lot to say thematically about greed, desire, and how being a slave to desire can take one down a path that ruins not only yourself but everyone you touch. Yeah, I definitely need to think about this one a bit more.
I'm giving myself a short break (about a week) and then plan to tackle first FRANKENSTEIN and then DRACULA with the goal having them both finished up by Halloween. After that I'm loosely planning to jump down the list quite a bit for one of Amph's suggestions in THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS by Arundhati Roy.
As of now I'm ahead of schedule since I've managed to get through twelve of the books on the list, even after losing a good bit of time on a DNF. I've really been enjoying this challenge and will keep this going for the foreseeable future. -
