Reposted from I'm PREETI tired (Preeti Chhibber)

I just started the Legends and Lattes audiobook per @jennirl.bsky.social’s rec and it is *delightful* so far

Have you read Marie Brennan's Natural History of Dragons? Or Saladin Ahmed's Throne of the Crescent Moon? They're a couple of favorites, though 10+ years old.

I’ve been loving the audiobook for Stardust Thief (first read it on page) and the narrators have my heart

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•48 days ago

ooh just put this on hold!

robtarange.bsky.social•48 days ago

Elizabeth Bear writes a lot of good stuff! Mostly fantasy, with a few scifi books in the mix....

pittbaster.bsky.social•9 days ago

In the same vein…

Oops that is basically romantasy I fail at reading comprehension.

leahrosekessler.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’m only about a third of the way in so can’t 100% vouch for it yet but I am thoroughly enjoying this audiobook, which I checked out from my library on Hoopla.

thelindashow.bsky.social•3 days ago

I loved this one and the narrator is fabulous!

leahrosekessler.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes! She was terrific!

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•48 days ago

tlawson.bsky.social•48 days ago

Are you liking Legends and Lattes? My partner also enjoyed the prequel.

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•48 days ago

I loved it! I am thinking about the prequel, but I didn't realize it would be Viv still and now I like her where she is so I have think about it lol

arielleishere.bsky.social•48 days ago

i was really grumpy when i found out it was a prequel and i almost didn’t want to read it either but i was VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!

didichanoch.bsky.social•48 days ago

You will LOVE the prequel. Trust me on this.

marthamihalick.bsky.social•48 days ago

I just finished The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer, which I liked a lot.

gizmoto16.bsky.social•48 days ago

I really like all of Michael J. Sullivan's stuff. The library might have some of it.

jackalsiii.bsky.social•48 days ago

I really liked Wicked, so finally listened to the audio book, and it was very good
I have no idea what the second movie is going to cover now.

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•9 days ago

Lots of good recs in this thread but just I started the first Paladin book based on this one and i am losing it over Stephen and Grace simultaneously being like “they couldn’t possibly like ME but also I desperately want them” about each other lmao

libraryogre.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh, I love it! I am in Paladin's Grace, too, and the affection I have for these two idiots is wonderful.

johnaenders.bsky.social•9 days ago

The whole Paladins series is SOOOO good--enjoy! 😊

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•7 days ago

Me: let’s listen to my audio book so I don’t have to think about reality

My audiobook, #PaladinsGrace, as soon as I hit play: “It is as if the world is careening out of control and we are all trying to pull on the reins or stop the wheels, but we are so small. And the world is so heavy.”

dconaty.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's such a great series. There's a reason it was nominated for a Best Series Hugo.

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•3 days ago

Am on book 2, #PaladinsStrength and one thing I love about these books is how everyone is SO THIRSTY but also like “no one can possibly be as thirsty as I am, definitely not the person I am thirsting over” and meanwhile the person they are thirsting over is like:

sallysultzman.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm listening to Chain Gang All Stars and it's very much the same experience.

ajwentz.bsky.social•6 days ago

I *love* Paladin’s Grace. If you haven’t yet read Swordheart, it’s set in the same universe (and was just rereleased in hardcover this week). I haven’t listened to the audiobook, but it’s a good read!

A fantastic choice!

ashleyactually.bsky.social•9 days ago

Glad you're enjoying it!

ekjohnston.bsky.social•9 days ago

THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD

larathelark.bsky.social•48 days ago

Rosewood is cute and funny. YA Bridgerton meets Lost in Austen

larathelark.bsky.social•48 days ago

It's not a fantasy, though! Just romantic

caitlinrenata.bsky.social•48 days ago

Have you read A Master of Djinn because the audiobook was great and I need everyone to read it, my favorite book I read last year. The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi was also a great audiobook.

runwithskizzers.bsky.social•47 days ago

I got this one and started it tonight!!

caitlinrenata.bsky.social•47 days ago

Oooh yes enjoy!! I need about sixteen books about Fatma and Siti.

absolutereality.blog•48 days ago

I haven’t read this myself, but maybe Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower

laminda.bsky.social•48 days ago

If you haven't tried Ink and Sigil yet, it's loads of fun, full of magic and fantastic beasties and Scottish swears that are probably EVEN BETTER in an audiobook!

megofstars.bsky.social•48 days ago

kat and I are reading angels’ blood by nalini singh for a book club! she did audiobook and said it went fast (meanwhile I haven’t started lolol)

ashleyactually.bsky.social•48 days ago

Have you read the Paladin books by T. Kingfisher? They are Fantasy books with romance but I don't consider them romantasy. Fun books with DnD vibes.

laurenhudgins.bsky.social•9 days ago

Kingfisher is on here btw.

fasterthanshaun.bsky.social•48 days ago

Have you read A Magical Girl Retires? https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780063373280-a-magical-girl-retires?store=booksweet

lopasedai.bsky.social•48 days ago

Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim
Hunted by the Sky by Tanaz Bhathena
We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal

All three are older so maybe available without holds?

crystalanne1229.bsky.social•3 days ago

Role Playing by Cathy Yardley. Middle-aged gamers in love.
