in reply to Pseudo Nym • • •@pseudonym I also have read 6/7 of these. I wonder if it is the same 6. (Donβt tell me, that would ruin it.)
I was a hard choice but I picked the only one I have read a second time.

in reply to warkolm • • •@warkolm I counted them all until it became clear which ones were most popular (top 20 or so). Then I counted only them.
It's taken me a week as it is. If I counted every single suggestion I'd be counting at least for another week. The format wasn't ideal, and neither was the tendency of suggesting more than one book or ones from the wrong century. To eliminate those, if I wasn't already familiar with (and there was a lot of them) I had to manually check each suggestion to determine if it was from the correct era.

in reply to skribe πΊπ¦ • • •Ah I was failing to find the original post again the day after, thanks for fresh link to those suggestions.
Polarising list for me, half loved, half DNF!
If I'd managed to relocate the OP, might well have suggested:
The Starless Sea, #ErinMorgenstern
Pushing Ice #AlastairReynolds

A book mentioned in the candidate thread β Babel #RFKuang β may be of interest to people who enjoyed Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, or vice versa. Moderate similarities of being an alternate magical history of England with mountains of footnotes, but quite a different story.
