Thesdoras tea shop isnt a romance yay!!!!!! But not sure how whimsical
Oh that one's on my TBR, I'll add it!
Can u read Owl King an Nettle seperately? Is how prominent is the romance in Nettle?
Hi! I actually read Nettle a few years ago so I don't remember how prominent the romance is in general, but it's definitely more prominent than it is in Owl King. It is possible to read Owl King separately to Nettle; it has different main characters but the characters from Nettle briefly show up.
Im also very curious about the magpie. There is a wonderful magpie spirit character in A Thousand Steps into Night — i ADORED this character
Okay the more I hear about A Thousand Steps into Night, the more I want to read it. As far as I remember, the magpie in this one is definitely an interesting character!
Ahhhhh i LOVED that book id be so excited if u read it and to read ur thoughts!! No pressure tho
I think my library has the ebook, I'll try to read it soon! I just need to get through all the books I have out through Libby first.
“She befriends two shadow faeries” 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 im happy ill be seeing moreof you know who

A Thousand Steps into Night The Magician’s Daughter The Drowned Woods The Moth Keeper
How do u feel also abt middle grade recs? /gen /neu
Awesome thanks! Middle grade recs are welcome for lists, but I likely won't read them myself as I'm not really that into middle grade :)
Okay great!!! Btw i made a livrary shelf of recs for this list — no pressure to add or agree w all of them tho!
Yay thanks!
