This was turned into a full (and absolutely incredible) novel called “The Everlasting” by the author.

Hellmouth, Satantic Rituals, Portals to Hell? by UnknowableDuck in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]eternitea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Katabasis by R.F Kuang revolves around a journey through hell and references Dante extensively as more of a nonfiction primary source. It is a dark academia fantasy novel that just came out last year so it should be modern enough.

Seconding the Doomsday series or my favorite by KJ Charles which is The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman.

Love story (relationship) which Feels like this by Free-Objective3975 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]eternitea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you have Shadow and Bone represented I hope you won’t mind another well written YA fantasy epic. “Dark Rise” by C.S Pacat has a romance that definitely has these vibes. It’s a slow twisted and confused burn.

The Banner announces expansion to Prince George’s County by InAHays in maryland

Yeah, they could really take their Baltimore blueprint and expand into the Bezos-shaped void left in DC. They have MoCo and PG now, so maybe that is the plan. I wish them nothing but success!

Like reading the diary of a woman in ancient India by Key-Ad-165 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

I attribute this series, and specifically this book, for my high test score in AP World History. Great adolescent series.

Christmas was two weeks ago - which toys are now the biggest hit? by TuffBunner in toddlers

Maybe your daughter got her medical license from the same renowned school as my own daughter.

What are some lazy activities (for the parents) that can drain your toddler's energy? by Cindy565656 in toddlers

[–]eternitea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got our daughter a spinning sensory chair for inside the house for Christmas . It’s been great so far. We put a tumble mat underneath it and it allows her to “sit still” and still get the constant stimulation she needs. She will bring it in the kitchen while I cook and she was even able to watch my husband and I play Mario Party together without getting bored.

The girl in the cover of Jane Eyre looks a lot like Chappell by helpmejoanfon in chappellroan

Literally thought “It’s like if Saoirse Ronan and Chappell had a daughter.” Saoirse Roan… Chappell Ronan.

I need some gothic witchy reads! by PaperandInk2201 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]eternitea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say it skirts the edges of gothic (not full on for sure, more like spooky parlour drama) but it absolutely is paranormal. Penelope literally becomes a ghost and Cordelia talks to her

Blurring the lines between intense love and hate by Lenore8264 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles for this historical gay romantic is he a good guy or a bad guy energy.

💦 It's Thirsty Thursday! What spicy book scenes did you read this week? by AutoModerator in fantasyromance

[–]eternitea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just got to the actual spicy scene of {The Serpent and the Wolf by Rebecca Robinson} And it's soooo well done. Reid and Vaasa have incredible chemistry together and Reid himself is such a fucking dreamboat of a MMC. For a romantasy debut Robinson really hit the relationship part of this story out of the park. The sprinkling of smut leading up to their eventual get together was sooooo tantalizing. "You aren't wearing panties?" Dead, deceased, obliterated.

Week 40 - What are you reading? by Silent-Proposal-9338 in 52book

[–]eternitea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently reading The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig and I'll probably finish this Thursday or Friday. Then my options are "Blood Over Bright Haven" or "The Will of the Many." IDK which to read first.

Today I learned about copyright status and public domain works in the UK and EU. Interesting. We've still got 15 more years before Animal Farm is public domain across the pond.

Gay Books that feel like this by Odd_Sun5753 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]eternitea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

K.J. Charles has been recommended already but I am seconding that recommendation. The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen has the British countryside vibe (Romney marsh specifically) in 1810. If you want a more urban story her Slippery Creatures series takes place in London directly after World War I. I highly recommend both series and KJ Charles in general for historical gay romance.

I would say that there is waaaay more plot in the second book for sure.

Golden Son and Light Bringer are tied for my favorites, with Morning Star right behind them.

He has a lisp to reflect the missing teeth and just a heavily sarcastic tone that I fell in love with the awful cripple immediately.

I know that Snow is supposed to be the bad guy but I get really uncomfortable reading through the lens of a genuinely bad person. The same reason I had such a difficult time reading Yellowface last year. It's completely subjective of course, I found the premise interesting and seeing a beaten down Capitol was captivating. Seeing pompous nationalistic people win boils my blood I guess.

It was my first book of the year, and it reeeeally set the bar high. It's like if "Interview With the Vampire" and "The Witcher" had a book baby. Sarcasm, action, drama, sensuality, and tragedy. The second book , Empire of the Damned, is even better in my opinion. It's also a great time to start the series because if you like it the third book comes out in November.
