Also, big kudos to Sam for banging out a 700-page brick in two weeks and to Hannah for reading a book about, like, British royalty, that she rated with a vacuum cleaner's whine. This fortnight, we read: &quot;Spark,&quot; by Naoki Matayoshi &quot;The Land in Winter,&quot; by Andrew Miller &quot;The Will of the Many,&quot; by James Islington &quot;The Heir Apparent,&quot; by Rebecca Armitage What sound effects did we give each of these books?
