… we've checked and it's definitely #Friday In fact, for those who celebrate, it's #BlackFriday

So let's do it again: tell us three #books you've enjoyed recently and we'll see if we can come up with something else you might like.

Who knows? You might even be able to find it in a #library

@jendefer @bookstodon So… a meander through friendship (in space), thievery in an alternate Mediterranean and a shapeshifting sidekick who steals the show… How about Isabel Greenberg's Glass Town?

James Smart salutes her protagonists who 'look wonky but feel wonderfully real':

@TEG @bookstodon OK… a robot explores what it is to be human, a hymn to love and an assassin with a dragon familiar… Have you tried Naomi Novik's Temeraire?

Cory Doctorow's a fan:

@sylwylvia @bookstodon Right… a second-world-war library on the tube, more Novik – ha! – and deep waters… Have you already read Kate Atkinson's Life After Life?

Alex Clark says it's a 'marvel':
