A Wizard of Earthsea is one I am weighing up. Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
Eimear, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.
For anyone considering A Wizard of Earthsea: Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.
