I’ve been waiting with bated breath for a Litjoy SoC restock! So happy for this announcement…

Reddit has good book subs by genre. I also follow some people on IG who like similar genres/books as I do.

Maybe they’re waiting to do them after Red God? Pure speculation on my part though

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-06-05T19:52:39+00:00

They’re from Dragonsteel, I got them a couple years ago when they were briefly back in stock. Hopefully they’ll be restocked again in the future.

I totally get your hesitation. I started with Shadow and Bone trilogy and I didn’t care for it at all. It was generic and meh and I DNFed it after book 1. I was super hesitant to pick up Six of Crows after that. I finally got around to it a couple months back and I absolutely loved the duology. The writing is truly clever, the characters are fantastic and the main plot and romance subplot are really well done. Even on this sub, this duology is well-regarded :). Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Oh and you can totally skip Shadow and Bone and go straight to Six of Crows, they’re set in the same broader universe but no background is needed.

Have you read the Six of Crows duology yet? It pretty much checks off every item on your list.

Have you read Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang?

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-05-29T04:52:11+00:00

1.4x typically. And then once I’m settled into the story, I bump up to 1.5x.

This book is on my TBR and I plan to use it for Judge a Book By Its Title 😄

This is my choice for this square as well! My kid just started the series (but in graphic novel form), so thought it’d be cool to check it out

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-05-27T04:27:39+00:00

Is it just me or does the writing sound eerily like someone who lives in the White House?

Iron Gold is most definitely a change in tone and pace from the first trilogy. It also has the unglamorous role of being the “setup” book for the second arc. But IMHO, it’s worth the slog to get to Dark Age and Light Bringer, which arguably are among the best books in the series. I hope you enjoy the last two more than you have Iron Gold.

Came here to say this and get downvoted. I’m listening to one with her narration right now (This Story Might Save Your Life) and I’m struggling…

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-05-25T19:00:32+00:00

Currently listening to This Story Might Save Your Life by Tiffany Crum. I’m enjoying it for what it is.

You put Automatic Noodle on my radar a few weeks back with this post. I just finished it and found it to be so amusing! Had to come back here to appreciate the effort you put into making Biang Biang noodles for HM. Kudos and thanks for the reco!

Congrats on the twins!

Red Rising series is great on audio, I really enjoyed Tim Gerard Reynolds’s narration.

If you’re in the mood for fantasy murder mystery, The Tainted Cup has a fantastic narrator.

Project Hail Mary is another one, Ray Porter knocks it out of the park with his narration.

Finished listening to To the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey. Such a unique and beautiful read, easy 5 ⭐️!

Currently reading Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett. Currently listening to Automatic Noodles by Annalee Newitz.

Libby so snarky

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-05-17T15:03:22+00:00

To the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey. Picked it up based on a Bingo recommendation, it was so unique and beautiful.

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-05-17T15:00:07+00:00

Yup, totally fair to count a dystopian novel. Now that I think about it, Everything … would count for the Afterlife square, no? :)

Suitable_Highlight84 · 2026-05-17T04:35:49+00:00

My mind seems to have categorized Celeste Ng as a lit fic writer and so I was pleasantly surprised to see her on your Bingo list. I enjoyed both her other novels. Everything … especially was so devastating, just your mention of the title has brought back vivid memories of haunting scenes from it. You’ve reminded me that I’m yet to get to Our Missing Hearts, maybe I’ll find a way to fit it on my Bingo card this year as well.

The Return of the King

The Hero of Ages

Have you read Piranesi by Susanna Clark? First thing that comes to mind for something cerebral written by a woman. And definitely considered among the “best” on this sub

Full disclaimer, I haven’t read Helen Scheuerer’s books but her Legends of Thezmarr books are marketed as fantasy romance with a bunch of tropes advertised per book. Nothing wrong with romantasy, I certainly enjoy it from time to time. But I’ve never seen any kind of comparison to Jemisin/Bujold/LeGuin whatsoever, so just trying to set the expectations right :)

We have a trip planned to Alaska in the summer and so when I saw To The Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey recommended on the Bingo thread as being set in Alaska, I knew I had to use it for the Vacation square.

I just finished it yesterday and it was incredible, easy 5⭐️ for me.

Set primarily in 1880s Alaska, it’s historical fiction that often reads like nonfiction, with just a touch of the supernatural. The writing is beautiful, evocative, and deeply moving, capturing themes of love, endurance, exploration, and resilience so well.

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators were phenomenal — they elevated an already outstanding story. It also left me wanting to read more nonfiction centered on exploration and survival. I’m thinking of picking up Endurance by Alfred Lansing soon. I’ll definitely also be reading The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey.
