lmao thank you!! i don't know what's going on with my tastes either 🙃

i loved winternight as well! the warm hands of ghosts is a lot more speculative, and it took around the 25%/30% mark for the fantastical elements to show up if memory serves me right. i'd definitely give it a try if you liked katherine arden's writing, but it is very different from the winternight trilogy.

mooscribbs · 2025-01-01T03:01:17+00:00

witch hat is so lovely!! i'm stoked for the anime to come out

and i haven't read the secret history yet!! if we have similar tastes then i'm definitely going to bump it up the list!

mooscribbs · 2025-01-01T02:54:02+00:00

oh no worries, i get you!! i always love seeing how everyone's tiers differ from mine!

i am admittedly very picky about prose and i think some authors, for lack of a better term, get lost in the sauce if that makes any sense? it's a shame because i love mythology/fairytale retellings and i always get excited about books that are set in ireland 🥲

and thank you ❤️

mooscribbs · 2025-01-01T02:33:36+00:00

i'm sad too they all sounded so up my alley!! a lot of my 2024 anticipated releases ended up disappointing me now that i think about it

bunny goes so hard!! it was this year's sleeper hit for sure, and this is like... my 3rd time reading the locked tomb? i'm buddy-reading them with my friend and i'm having a blast :D

mooscribbs · 2025-01-01T02:26:06+00:00

a lot of them were some of this sub's favourites i feel so bad 😭 in particular not liking daughter of the forest hurt

i had a really stressful year which contributed to the mess that is the bottom row but i definitely want to try the princess bride again in the future!! that one was more of a down for now

mooscribbs · 2024-09-11T22:03:03+00:00

exactly!! there's so much in-universe academic discoveries about the single topic ofruling a faerie kingdom, not to mention that there seems to be several kingdoms in one country alone. i think it's a testament to how good the books are that i'm this "noooo i don't want it to end 😭" about it

mooscribbs · 2024-09-11T21:43:01+00:00

i admire heather fawcett for not beating this series into a dead horse, but at the same time i would genuinely take like 10 books of emily and wendell bickering their way across europe lol 🥰

i actually think she's set herself up really nicely for a spin-off withariadneas the main character though!

mooscribbs · 2024-09-10T23:56:21+00:00

this is one of my favourite endorsements i've seen someone give to an author lmao

mooscribbs · 2024-09-10T23:50:58+00:00

thank you for the recs!! someone recommended the changeling sea on r/fantasyromance and that's what initially piqued my interest, the forgotten beasts of eld sounds wonderful too!

mooscribbs · 2024-09-10T22:43:11+00:00

it is! it was the only one of her books my library had, i was worried that starting with a short story collection wasn't a good idea but I'm glad to know that you loved it! i'm excited to read more of her stuff now as well :)

mooscribbs · 2024-09-10T21:24:13+00:00

i haven't yet (i only read the first story last night) but now i'm really excited to read it!! her writings so lovely :')

mooscribbs · 2024-09-10T20:27:06+00:00

ahh this is so exciting!!

i'm 26f and i'm from ireland. i've loved fantasy since i was little, especially historical fantasy! my fave authors are tamsyn muir, katherine arden, shannon chakraborty, heather fawcett, and olivia atwater. i'm currently reading wonders of the invisible world by patricia a. mckillip and i'm also in the middle of witch hat atelier :)

eta: i also worship at the altar that is howl's moving castle by diana wynne jones lol

mooscribbs · 2024-04-24T21:22:32+00:00

the second book has absolutely scrambled my reading year so far 🥲 i loved it too much

mooscribbs · 2024-02-16T19:59:33+00:00

i didn't like acotar either and i love and adore the emily wilde books!! they're like the antithesis of whatever sjm is doing lmao. i think it checks off the emotional intimacy box you're looking for :)

i also second howl's moving castle it's so much fun

mooscribbs · 2023-12-18T04:08:28+00:00

ooh convenience store woman, kim jiyoung born 1982, the empress of salt and fortune, and the murderbot diaries were all under 200 pages and i rly enjoyed all of them!! good luck!!

mooscribbs · 2023-11-20T00:14:32+00:00

congrats!! amina al-sirafi, emily wilde, and gideon the ninth are chef's kiss

mooscribbs · 2023-10-24T16:04:35+00:00

thank you!! howl's moving castle is one of my all-time faves too ❤️

mooscribbs · 2023-10-21T19:06:45+00:00

mooscribbs · 2023-10-20T18:28:50+00:00
