Fairest
Gail Carson LevineHannah Gokie 🌼 hgokie.bsky.social5. Fairest by Gail Carson Levine 3/5 There’s nothing quite like a fairytale retelling, tbh. Super cute and definitely going to have the 8yo read it

Uprooted
Naomi NovikHannah Gokie 🌼 hgokie.bsky.social@jakeallr If you like fairy tale retellings, Uprooted and Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. I find fairytales really easy to read when I’m in a slump since your brain generally knows the layout beforehand

The Thief
Megan Whalen TurnerHannah Gokie 🌼 hgokie.bsky.social@silversarahj The Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner is perhaps the best series I’ve ever read. Sort of like Greek pseudo-fantasy that doesn’t feel like it? Every person I’ve recommended them to LOVED them, I’ve read them a bunch of times now. Ok stopping there 😅

In the Woods
Tana FrenchHannah Gokie 🌼 hgokie.bsky.social@silversarahj Have you read any Tana French? My favorite contemporary crime fiction writer, start with In the Woods. They’re not light tho, the Richard Osman murder mysteries are light. Or Dorothy Sayers if you haven’t gotten into those yet, I only did a couple years ago!

Rules of Civility
Amor TowlesHannah Gokie 🌼 hgokie.bsky.social7. Rules of Civility by Amor Towles 3/5 I’m not the hugest fan of Towles’s writing style, but I liked it enough to finish it. Probably the best one he’s written imo but meh
