i read spinning silver for the first time a couple years ago and it instantly became my number one favorite book 


it's a non-antisemitic retelling of rumpelstiltskin published in 2018 that's very female-empowering and i wish i knew someone that has also read it 

i've read it twice, listened to the audiobook once and i plan on reading it again soon lol but i'd love to be able to discuss it with others <3

I haven't, but I'll have to look out for it. I love her Temeraire series, and want to read other works of hers.

I totally get that feeling! Spinning Silver is such a mesmerizing read—its female-empowering retelling of Rumpelstiltskin really sticks with you, and it’s so refreshing to enjoy a story that’s thoughtful and non-antisemitic. I’ve found myself rereading it too, just like you, and listening to the audiobook adds a whole new layer to the experience. It would be amazing to have someone to discuss all the twists, character growth, and rich world-building with—kind of like discovering hidden gems while exploring a Tampa shopping mall like International Plaza or WestShore Plaza, where every corner has something exciting waiting to be uncovered.
