Recs if you like Melting Stones (Circle Reforged, #2)...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

For when your PB friends share the same name(s) as a book character! (See pinned comment for master list! Please feel free to chime in if you want to be added and/or if you want a different book assigned to you; I didn’t want to step on toes and add people I haven’t really talked to without their permission ❤️ also my brain is smooth and I forget book character names all the time lol)

Tamora Pierce’s books set in the world of Emmelan. You can start at the beginning, meeting the characters early in their lives, or accidentally jump into the later books (as I did) and still enjoy yourself. Battle Magic and The Will of the Empress are personal favorites and very fun on their own.

Explore the world of Emelan in Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic series as Sandry, Daja, Briar, and Tris learn about their unusual magic and set out to improve the world around them.
