Of you had to pick your top five. Or top ten? Three? Other arbitrary number?

She can definitely handle that. I love LOVE being her book aunt. Curating her library is one of the true joys of my life

Oh excellent. This looks like something my niece would love too! She’s just not quite ready for too much in the adult relationship dynamic yet

Happy book birthday!
I was very sad that I couldn’t make it to the launch today. My poor ma isn’t well unfortunately.
I’m sure that everyone had fun
🖤❤️🧛❤️🖤

Is it wrong that I’m kinda excited to see if your writing changes now that you get to be more fully yourself?
I mean, you know that I adore your writing anyway 🖤🏳️⚧️

Do you have much of a science background? Or is it all research?
I really appreciate the levels to the way you build things.
And poetry even in the sharp parts!

What a prize!
(Although I’m holding out hope that Maggie will appear on Edelweiss, as Tor is very nice to booksellers ❤️)

Tbh I was a bit of a teachers pet, but luckily the worst my favourite professor did was forget his wallet so that his students had to buy him coffee.
There were no mysterious wells, urban legends, cultish vibes, moving shadows, missing people…..

I can see how that would fascinate

Each even book will be a prequel. It feels weird to start with, but it works

InCryptid is more straight up UF, with a very cool way of changing POV characters every few book.
She’s also 3 books into a planned 5 in the Alchemical Journeys. Super complex worldbuilding about anthropomorphic personifications and alchemy.
Have you read many of the short stories?

You are in for a treat! The October Daye books just keep getting richer with emotional development for the characters.
The Wayward Children can be heartbreaking, but so good! A secret? Every odd book is our world, every even book is a portal adventure. You’ve been to The Moors, now back to school

Yes but you only have to wait until May.
You can have Currents Clean and Clear in January, and Installment Immortality March 11th while you wait?

There were places where I had to put the book down and walk away because I felt it in my gut. Frightening on many levels, and not just alien invasions ones.
Due out May 6th
However, she’s got TWO other titles releasing under @seananmcguire.bsky.social coming soon, so the wait won’t seem as long

My other extra special read was Overgrowth by Mira Grant.
Imagine a three year old who keeps telling people that she’s actually an alien plant person sent to earth as a harbinger of an inviding species. And she’s not lying……

> in a wonderful gothic fantasy.
Also…vampires
Due out February 11th, but luckily you can start Path of Thorns, her mysterious family manor with secrets in the middle of nowhere gothic immediately.
(Do it!)

I love @angelaslatter and her Sourdough world with my whole heart. Her ability to fill her books with small details that turn out to be super important later blows my mind.
The Crimson Road feels like The Avengers of the Sourdough world, where those details, characters, & plots all tie together >

That sucks a bit for the residents. I may have to make him stop at a store in America!
The lengths that I will go to for a good book.
I’m really excited to read it .

Summers at It’s major social
Commentary, but subtly. High fantasy, fae beings, magic, all of it.

Over the many summers she starts to see the problems in the kingdom and the need to fix them.
Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn is one that I’ve read over a dozen times, and I still find something new in it. It’s deeply, achingly romantic, but it’s written almost between the pages.

About every 12-15 months if I have some extra stress or insomnia I end up back with one of all time favourite comfort reads.
The bastard daughter of a high lord and a village witch spends three months every summer with her sister who is engaged to the future king.

I am shaking my head at 20 year old me.
I do kind of what to seek out some less traumatic food magic books now though.
Sarah Addison Allen has some with Garden Spells. Harris’ Chocolat?

There’s a new tv show out based on Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquival, so I figured that now was a good time for a reread.
It’s been about twenty years since I read it, but all I’m wondering is
HOW did I miss the darkness and the trauma!!!!
I remembered the food magic, but Jeepers!

On my list of what to read if you’re obsessed with the 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy starring Rachel Weis and Brendan Fraser but with that it was way gayer

Imagine if the daughter of Johnathan and Mina Harker and the daughter of Professor Moriarty both worked for a supernatural investigation service and ended up on a murder investigation filled with a surprisingly large amount of banter and flirting?
Strange Beasts by Susan J Morris

It was more spicy than I expected from a book about faith, darker than I expected from something categorised as romance, and a little unsettling.
Which in really didn’t mind at all.
The Golem of Mala Lubovnya.
How this was only my second golem book (after Feet of Clay) is a surprise to me

This was the year that realised that I really don’t read enough books by Jewish authors.
I’d LOVE recs for good Jewish Fantasy if anyone has them.
I’ve got Sasha Lamb cued up thanks to a friend, and I did start with a rather strange, queer, romance about a golem….
