Keeping The Spinning Heart on my list. Is it one to read in short sittings or would you save it for a quiet weekend?
Niamh, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

The Spinning Heart is one I am weighing up. A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
Oisin, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.
For anyone considering The Spinning Heart: The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.
