The Affair of the Mysterious Letter
Alexis Hall
I haven’t read anything else of Alexis Hall’s except for The Affair of the Mysterious Letter (of which I have absolutely no memory) but I went to go download A Lady for a Duke and Something Fabulous before I hit the halfway mark on Mortal Follies, I’m enjoying it

A Dowry of Blood
S. T. Gibson
I’m reading A Dowry of Blood and it is SO GOOD but also I think I have finally figured out why cozy fantasy doesn’t do it for me as a genre because *this* is the kind of book that makes me feel cozy & comfortable https://t.co/bmGDk0jlM4

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
Megan Bannen
I just finished The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy and it was excellent, almost perfect, I cried, 4.75/5 But I found this official marketing graphic and the novel contains, very generously, two of these tropes 🤣 https://t.co/h9fGvT3WIK

Fourth Wing
Rebecca Yarros
I’m reading Fourth Wing, that dragon book everyone is on about, and it reads *exactly* like Red Rising X Dragonriders of Pern self-insert fanfic for the SJM set we love to send a Very Special nepo baby to Gratuitous Murder Academy

Cassiel's Servant
Jacqueline Carey
DID I drop my entire tbr to bolt through Cassiel’s Servant at an alarming clip? YES DID I love it? ALSO YES Would I recommend it? …for a reader whose battered paperback copy of Kushiel’s Dart evokes a fond, blurred remembrance, absolutely. Everyone else? Hard maybe. https://t.co/juIZ9be8mq

The Fire's Stone
Tanya Huff
I’m reading The Fire’s Stone by Tanya Huff and yes, it is SUPER dated, but it’s also practically the blueprint for an entire subgenre of fantasy that I’ve known and loved for many years It’s an experience, is what I’m getting at https://t.co/kMmHyZsUva

The Stars Undying
Emery Robin
The current winner for a) the most ink spilled about in my 2023 book journal and b) the best thing I’ve read since The Captive Prince is Emery Robin’s The Stars Undying, which I am FULLY OBSESSED WITH but cannot yet figure out how to rave about properly https://t.co/dVWIgcbz0b
