Post from the The River Has Roots forum
I love this book so, so much. Everything about it - and I am listening to the audiobook, which is usually not my favorite way to consume books. I am going to have to buy a copy, because I need to annotate this, which is also not something I often feel the need to do. I am not sure what is left to discuss at this point of the book, since a lot of the conflict feels resolved, but I find that I am not eager for the end. I want it to keep going!

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.

An introduction to the Romantasy 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.

So I’ve been wanting to get into reading poetry for a while, and I’ve always found it to be a hit or miss genre for me. For example, I couldn’t get into Amanda Gorman’s Call Us What We Carry but I really liked Shel Silverstein’s poems growing up and books Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse and Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, both written in verse. I’d really love some poetry recommendations that are preferably short and easier to understand/get into. I don’t think I’m ready for classical poetry yet (😅), and would also really appreciate recommendations by authors of color!
