i gotta stop picking my reads based on goodreads awards dude

hiiii! never read any leigh bardugo but figure this quest is my sign to start :) for all the diehard fans, where should i start? what are your favs?

i am torn between working chronologically through her catalog, starting with the one that looks most interesting to me (ninth house), or the one i’ve heard the best things about (six of crows). what do y’all think?

thanks in advance! 🏛️🐦‍⬛🦉🐇🐍📖📚✨

I like that this is how I hear that Leigh Bardugo is releasing a new book!! I’m excited to read Dead Beat <3 it’s the only one I haven’t read on this list hehe.

Anyone else like me and found out from the list?

I find it funny how I always skim blurbs so I don't give anything at all away, and then am always surprised to find myself surprised as I get into the book and start figuring it out. Always thinking to myself "so unexpected!" after trying hard to not set expectations haha

Anyway, I'm already so intrigued not only by June and the reputation which evidently precedes her, but by Tucker too, especially because I wasn't expecting his POV. The vibe is also really interesting, kind of mysterious and fantastical with the legendary sweetwater and the description of the wintery mountains. A little spooky too; the vibe I'm getting is pristine ballroom filled with ghosts. I'm not usually as into a historical fiction but my attention is definitely snagged.
