Recs if you like By the Orchid and the Owl...

i love when animals get the chance to yap and/or narrate their own stories :)

recommendations welcome!

books featuring or set in magic schools / universities / academies, aka, one of the best subgenres in existence !

this list has books for all ages (am actively looking for more adult options), most of the books are dark academia, and ALL of them are fantastical 🪄 recs welcome <3

(alternatively, books to fall in love with & share with others to help avoid supporting or promoting JKR. i will never shut up ab how the Nevermoor series deserves the popularity that Harry Potter enjoys !)

apparently there’s a big football game going on in America this weekend so I wanted to put together a list of owl books from across all genres

as always, taking any and all suggestions!

Inspired by a post I made: Fantasy books where the MC has the ability to talk to animals (not to be conflated with where a talking animal is a character) I welcome recommendations!!

Honorable Mention of Graceling by Kristin Cashore for a character’s ability to “sense” plants and animals however they do not communicate with them.
