Lists of Lists!!! If you have a public PB shelf for the books you are planning on reading for HRCYED 3.0 feel free to share a link! This is my plan so far
Lists I've Made (Linked) I'll keep adding to these as we go, I have been prioritizing the quest based ones so far, but once those are done I'll also add those in to the following lists as applicable.
Lists By Others If I missed yours, please comment a link to it below!
the books with steel in the title wouldn't fit this prompt because steel is an alloy not an element on the periodic table.
Here are some more titles I found that fit: Seasons of Glass & Iron The Man in the Iron Mask Song of Silver Flame Like Night A Sky Painted Gold
Ooooooooooooops - clearly I don't know my periodic table hahaha I'll edit those out and add in your recs in just a bit!! Thank you!!
easy mistake to make. chemistry being a special interest from my school days definitely helped with this prompt. & you're welcome! âš
Meanwhile chemistry was my worst subject in school (clearly) hahahah teamwork makes the dream work!! đđ
Youre so cool for making all these lists for everyone!! I hope everyone doing HRCYED has a great time!!
Thank you! I figure if I'm going to look into the more definitive categories, I might as well share them! I've never done HRCYED before and I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible for me haha (I loooooooove biting off more than I can chew haha)
Oh this is such a fun prompt!
Honestly, I'm pretty shocked at how many I could find on my first look too! I haven't decided which ones I'll pick yet though....
