Hi all! You may have seen Jenniferās post in the Founders announcement but Iāve decided to organize an informal readalong for this quest that is timed with the fall seasonal readalong.
The selected book is the Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. Raven scholar is on quite a few TBRs so Iām hoping this is a good one to start off with! Thereās no badge for participating so this is entirely for fun and hopefully to motivate you to pick up a book youāve been wanting to read. Please participate by posting in the book forum, not the quest forum.
Iām looking forward to seeing what you think! š¦āā¬

Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.

Hi all! I'm excited to announce that our fall readalong book is A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek. Released this past June, A Treachery of Swans is a sapphic retelling of Swan Lake. What better for fall than lush, gothic, magical lesbians?
Can't wait to read this together and I hope we all enjoy it!!

Do you decide based on the jacket blurb? Or just start reading the first page? Or stick to recommendations from certain people/places? Curious how everyone chooses what to add to their TBRs!

I love a creative story structure and I love a good revenge tale, and this delivers both. I actually expected this to be darker than it was, and most of the horror here is in the historical content rather than Good Stab's own actions. The bulk of the story is told through the journaling of a preacher in 1912 who records both Good Stab's past along with his own present, and these dual timelines play well off each other and highlight the narrator's complete lack of reliability and his ego in a way that's both chilling and comedic. This book is really smartly done.

These detectives are here to solve the mystery and to break or mend queer hearts. Whether legit or amateurs, they always solve the case.

An introduction to the Horror genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Reading the fetishistic way Arthur talks about and describes Good Stab is certainly an experience.

Alright we all know the big-name authors and books that show up everywhere on social media, but what are some gems that donāt get nearly enough attention? Give me your ācriminally underratedā titles and writers!
