Clarke, Susanna. (2004). Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. New York: Bloomsbury.

[FINISHED IT!  An enjoyable read, to be sure, though a bit plodding in places.  HOWEVER, never did I feel like, "I really want to give this up and read something else," nor did I finish it just to say that I did.  She built an entire world here, with complex characters, a full "alternate" history, and injected a whole bunch of deadpan humor.  And I just love that the only name we got for the "gentleman with the thistledown hair" was the "gentleman with the thistledown hair".  Currently in the middle of the BBC adaptation, and finding that it is remarkable true to the source material, annotations and all!]

FINISHED:
Tyler, Anne. (2015). A Spool of Blue Thread. New York: Knofp/Random House.

[An Anne Tyler novel is always a refreshing change.  So many books these days are solely driven (at least, hopefully) by plot, with little character development. An Anne Tyler book is generally the exact opposite:  pure character study.  Sure, things "happen", but that's never really the focus.  Rather, they are about people - great "slice-of-life" novels that spend most of their time getting into the minds/habits/eccentricities of everyday folk.  I'd venture to say that it's almost a guarantee that you'll come across a character, or family situation, in one of her novels that reminds you of someone that you actually know, or of something that has actually happened to you or someone you know.  This one, like many of her tomes, deals with family - how families come to be, how they grow and change, how the develop vivid memories, and how they say hello and goodbye.  One NYT basically called it Anne-Tyler-by-numbers, but another was more favorable.  I'll side with the latter when it comes to an Anne Tyler novel, anytime.]
