It’s my balloon day! And Black Friday. But more importantly, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which kicks off a 16-day campaign of activism against GBV. I’m glad to share my birthday with this event that does match my values so strongly 🙏🏾❤️ https://t.co/LrT8I0Nv1B

@alkraemmer @alennander @hfchitchat Non-Mediterranean: KAIKEYI - Vaishnavi Patel Non-ancient: SPEAR - Nicola Griffith THE BIRD KING - G. Willow Wilson (not exactly a retelling but it parallels a Sufi poem) Also Christian Cameron and Mary Renault have retellings about moments & people from ancient history. 2/2

Green, yes! I called it. Another gorgeous cover and a long but exciting wait for book 3 of @ElodieITV's gripping Wolf Den trilogy, THE TEMPLE OF FORTUNA 💚 https://t.co/Qc8be452Uf

RIVER SING ME HOME is the moving story of a woman’s search for the 5 children stolen from her during her past enslavement—and equally her journey of the soul which, through the power of stories & remembrance, helps her grow into a free future she can create herself✨ #JannaGReads https://t.co/QcSR9kyctJ

@alkraemmer @alennander @hfchitchat These are good recs. I checked my GR and so much of what I've read is retellings because that's what the industry keeps offering. So here are some of my favourite ancient world retellings: WRATH GODDESS SING - Maya Deane ITHACA - Claire North ARIADNE UNRAVELED - Zenobia Neil 1/2

THE BOOK OF GOTHEL is a gem of historical fantasy—an engaging origin story of the “villain” from Rapunzel set in 13th c. Germany, blending fairytale magic, folklore, plant lore, a key figure from history & the love and power of mothers both earthly and otherworldly✨ #JannaGReads https://t.co/SCPgkx8JhI

I write historical fiction now but came to it from an epic fantasy pedigree: 1) Jacqueline Carey 2) Sarah Micklem* 3) Juliet Marillier Bonus: Robert Jordan *Sarah, it's never too late to finish your Firethorn trilogy. I live in hope that last book will someday come! https://t.co/UsicTwY6B2

FIRETIDE COAST is book 3 of the unique, leviathan-filled Monstrous Heart trilogy about a magical lighthouse keeper w/ a yearning heart. Here we briefly enter a sultry forest with its own horrors. But the satisfying end returns us to the true heart of it all—the sea✨ #JannaGReads https://t.co/fEbKLcyefi
