I’ve read the Baldree (fine but too sweet for me), the Foley (didn’t like) and most of the Trembley (library ebook got whisked back so I had to skim, liked it but not blown away). I have therefore voted for some unread by me ones that sound interesting!

(I have also just borrowed Deayh of an Airman from the library)
