I had not seen An Inheritance of Ashes before. I went to Goodreads to check that one out and added it to my TBR. It sounds good and I was interested in the cover. I also haven't ready any of Terry Pratchett's stuff yet. He sounds like a great author.

An Inheritance of Ashes is marvellous. It's on my To-Be-Reviewed list.
Dumplin' and All the Rage were two of my favorites from 2015 and I hope you enjoy them too.
I have Dumplin checked out from the library now!
