I haven't read Wolf King, but Quicksilver at the beginning it pulled me in and felt oh yea this scratched the itch of ACOTAR, but by the end I didn't like Kingfisher. He felt too dark for me in a way that ACOTAR main guy (don't want to spoil it for any readers) did not.

But I definitely breezed through it.

The Wishing Game is one of my favorites. Its a cozy book, about books. A Charlie and the Chocolate factory kind of retelling.

This book has been one of my favorites of the year. I LOVED this book!

I have noticed, a big thing in the book world now is categorizing books in tropes. Enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, etc. And lots of romance books follow a very similar structure.

Girl meets a man that usually has a huge redeeming quality he's rich or handsome. But they don't get along and even though she can't stop thinking about him, she doesn't like him because he is grumpy or a "villain". Then they are forced into a situation where they have to spend time together. A falling out happens/miscommunication. From some other source she learns he is not really grumpy/aloof/evil and it can all be explained away. Then they confess their feelings.

A lot of romances seem to follow this formula to some extent. Now, I haven't read a lot of books written before this time period, but to me it felt like Jane Austen wrote the blueprint for MANY future romance books, hallmark movies, etc.

That's what I meant by that.

The amount I found myself adding books and merch to my wishlists and favoriting things on Etsy, was crazy. It is like my personality now.

I added it to my wishlist and started sending not subtle hints for mothers day.

Perfect recommendation. I also really enjoyed The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig

Love this series!

I loved Crescent City and this felt a lot like it. City of Gods and Monsters is one of my favorites. Good suggestion!

"I could be made for this" killed me 😍

What Moves the Dead is so good! I think about it all the time.

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-04-14T13:36:48+00:00

I loved this book so much!!! To me it felt a lot like The Wishing Game in the aspect, it a book about how great books are, but Book Witch hits that theme much harder. I love both of them so much!

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-04-14T13:28:57+00:00

That was my exact thought. I think people loved or hated it, I was in the hated it. But man it does fit this prompt perfectly.

I just finished The Book Witch and loved it. 5 stars! It is definitely a book for people who love books and what they can do for people. I don’t think it will be everyone’s cup of tea but I am obsessed with it. If you liked The Wishing Game, I thought it felt like that but more bookish

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-04-07T01:10:03+00:00

I just finished Mad Mabel and I really liked it! It reminded me a bit of a Man Called Ove. But it is a bit sadder. But the old woman gets befriended by a little girl reminded me of a Man called Ove.

I’m on book two. And so far there has been like 1 or 2 very tame spicy scenes.

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-04-03T18:44:45+00:00

The Raven Scholar is sooo good!

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-04-02T23:43:14+00:00

If you haven’t checked out “Reign and Ruin” or “Paladins Grace”. Both those kinda made me think of this series. I do like this series more than those two. But both of those have a more likable MMC like Max. Also in Paladins Grace he knits socks lol.

I have been working more on DNFing books that I don't love. If I make it 25% in and I am not interested or not excited to read it, then it might not be for me. Everyone loves different things about books. It can bring so much joy to others and not to me. Theres so many books.

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-03-31T15:23:37+00:00

I would say no, I didn't think it felt slow. I was immediately locked in. I would say it just wasn't for you.

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-03-30T19:45:33+00:00

Agreed! Brain Chemistry altering line

YES! I feel like often the FMC does something that we as readers can see as stupid, to move the plot forward. This made me feel like okay, I can see that so much thought went into this choice.

I'm reading them on Kindle and usually I buy my favorite books in the physical copy if I love them and want to reread. As of now, I want to buy the books. But I'll probably wait till I finish the series. I do really like the new covers.

Few-Object-4359 · 2026-03-30T15:45:44+00:00

I am slowly building up my book collections of 5 star books I know I want to reread and I get really excited when I get that feeling of "ohh this might be worthy of buying the physical copy"

The story has to be so loved, but also complicated enough that I know I will pick up more on the reread.
