Please read To Shape a Dragon’s Breath. It’s so cool and I want it to get all the love

cjsubko.bsky.social•467 days ago

Oh that's on my TBR so I shall! Thanks for reminding me

The Six Lives of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow, Siggy Chambers' The Binding of Bloom Mountain, or anything by Freydís Moon.

cjsubko.bsky.social•467 days ago

All on my tbr. So hard to pick!

arndtezra.bsky.social•467 days ago

My comfort go-to is Chambers' projects, my automatic buys are Moon's, and The Six Deaths of the Saint is one that wow'd me.

is it correct to assume you'd prefer trad and standalone for these recs?

cjsubko.bsky.social•467 days ago

That would be super helpful! You are wise

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, then. I don't read a lot of trad but really enjoyed that one.

cjsubko.bsky.social•467 days ago

Oh that's been on my list! Good pick

The Reaper’s Quota by Sarah McKnight. A great fantasy about the ennui of life as the reaper. I read it very early into the year, and it hasn’t left my imagination since

I'll give you a few options so you can pick what's more to your taste! Here are three I've enjoyed lately:
- THE OUTSIDE by Ada Hoffmann
- THE THIRTEENTH HOUR by Trudie Skies
- NETTLE & BONE by T. Kingfisher

Familiar with N&B (it's been on my library holds!) but the other two I'll take a look at before I decide. Nice choices!

Do you like retellings and mythology? At home, I have yet to read Circe. I heard it’s a good book.

cjsubko.bsky.social•467 days ago

I do! And I should probably read it because it's definitely one of those someday-classics

mistydanielles.bsky.social•467 days ago

That last part sounds like me: someday-rec books, someday-popular-at-the-time.
