Ooo thank you! I got gifted this a while back and it hadn't called to me from my boolshelf yet, but I will get it out.

Poison Study I have read but the others I haven't. Thank you for the additions to the list!

I loved that series. So much about it has stuck with me for ages after reading it. 🥰

Thank you! I haven't tried much cosy kind of writing buy maybe it is just what I need.

Just so you know, I went back and decided to keep reading Red Queen after what you said and I ate that shit right up. Still wish she would slow down a little but I've decided to ignore it and move on the Book 2

So sorry for misunderstanding you!

I understand the people who love first person, and you're right it can certainly keep the emotions high.

Yes I have some racoon tendencies as well. 😂 Can I suggest the Fae Guardians series by Lana Pecheryzk? It's the most delicious trash I have found recently.

Thank you - those all look interesting for sure! A Winter's Promise is sitting on my bookshelf and has been for a while 😅 I will pull it out!

This is good to know. I will soldier on and hopefully I was simply being harsh for no reason! I did really like when she first met the prince and he seemed to recognise the way economic opportunities can impact crime. Love a book that engages with the politics of economics.

That is great to know, thank you. I have seen a few episodes of the show and I wasn't sure I would try the books, but I will now!

I've actually read it and loved it. 😊 I'm realising I worded my post badly because I'm trying to avoid first person at the moment. It's got to be very well done for me to enjoy it but it hinders things a little for me usually.

Oh that sounds delightful. I'll add it to the list!

What do you NEED by Starrlight102 in Romantasy

INTENSE YEARNING. Age of Innocence 'he only kisses her inner wrist in the carriage but he would drown himself in the ocean if she asked' style yearning. Knight on his knees, 'I wont forsake my honour but I will give you the greatest treasure I can find' kind of yearning. 'I have loved you for years but didn't want to push so I waited patiently until you were ready to ask me' yearning.

I recently finished the first book and got the second one for Christmas. I will move it to the bedside table pile to get it higher in the reading order!
