I am looking for new book recs! I’m stuck in a place where I’m reading booktok heavily influenced books & it’s getting really boring/repetitive. I want to find new authors & diversify my reading. I had not noticed just how lacking it was until recently. I am in the mood for witchy/ romance fall books (:

Christmas Books? 🎄🎅

I KNOW ITS EARLY JUST LISTEN!!!! I was working on my Halloween TBR and I find that every year I know exactly what I want to read; horror. Horror and thrillers are like THE go to book for the spooky season. That got me thinking though,,, what is the Christmas season book? The only thing I can think of is those cheesy (some are good i have to admit) Christmas themed nickel paperback books. Other than the directly themed books, what books do you read for the jolly season? (Or what are you planning on reading?)

Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me (Dark Lord Davi, #2)

Django Wexler

A hilarious fantasy adventure in which a young woman, who is stuck in a time loop, decides the best way to defend the kingdom from the Dark Lord is to become the Dark Lord herself. Davi has done this all before. She's tried to be the hero and take down the all-powerful Dark Lord. A hundred times she's rallied humanity and made the final charge. But the time loop always gets her in the end. Sometimes she's killed quickly. Sometimes it takes a while. But she's been defeated every time.This time? She's done being the hero and done being stuck in this endless time loop. If the Dark Lord always wins, then maybe that's who she needs to be. It's Davi's turn to play on the winning side.'A darkly comic delight of a novel' Anthony Ryan'Twisty, pacey and full of reverent irreverence for fantasy. I can't get enough' Max Gladstone'A brash swords-and-satire romp that draws you into its rollicking adventure even as it pokes fun at the whole genre. Gamers in particular will appreciate the irreverent upending of classic roleplaying tropes' James L. SutterTakes the old saying 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em,' to the next level. A sarcastic, action-packed, intrigue-filled (mis)adventure. One of the funniest books I've read in a long time' Matt Dinniman'Lord of the Rings crossed with Groundhog Day, narrated by a gender-flipped Deadpool' Mike Brooks

A Dowry of Blood (A Dowry of Blood, #1)

S.T. Gibson

S.T. Gibson's sensational novel is the darkly seductive tale of Dracula's first bride, Constanta. This is my last love letter to you, though some would call it a confession. . . Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things. Finding comfort in the arms of her rival consorts, she begins to unravel their husband's dark secrets. With the lives of everyone she loves on the line, Constanta will have to choose between her own freedom and her love for her husband. But bonds forged by blood can only be broken by death.

Piranesi

Susanna Clarke

Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house. There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.

ENTRY FOR THE 2ND DAY OF THE 10TH MONTH IN THE YEAR I FOUND THIS BOOK Such a wonderful surprise. I went in completely blind and will recommend everyone do the same after I force this on those I love for their own good. Beautiful, immersive, mysterious and enlightening. I'm so looking forward to reading all the spoiler-filled posts, reviews and discussions because I have to be able to talk about this or find a support group of some kind because I can't stop thinking about this book.

Mysterious Fantasies and Fantastical Mysteries

by knickiknacks

5 books

For all you bounders out there who have a tough time finding books that don't belong in the "mystery" genre because they're heavy on fantasy tropes, but also don't belong solely in the "fantasy" genre because there is a mystery at the heart of the plot driving the story. Would LOVE recs to add to this list! :)

Weyward

Emilia Hart

I am a Weyward, and wild inside. 2019: Under cover of darkness, Kate flees London for ramshackle Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great aunt she barely remembers. With its tumbling ivy and overgrown garden, the cottage is worlds away from the abusive partner who tormented Kate. But she begins to suspect that her great aunt had a secret. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century. 1619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his herd. As a girl, Altha’s mother taught her their magic, a kind not rooted in spell casting but in a deep knowledge of the natural world. But unusual women have always been deemed dangerous, and as the evidence for witchcraft is set out against Altha, she knows it will take all of her powers to maintain her freedom. 1942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. Straitjacketed by societal convention, she longs for the robust education her brother receives––and for her mother, long deceased, who was rumored to have gone mad before her death. The only traces Violet has of her are a locket bearing the initial W and the word weyward scratched into the baseboard of her bedroom. Weaving together the stories of three extraordinary women across five centuries, Emilia Hart's Weyward is an enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world.

Thoughts from 33% (page 82) — go in blind, I BEG YOU

This is not at all what I expected in THE BEST WAY. It is so hard to search for mysterious fantasy books since they don't technically belong in the "mystery" genre but they're written around a mystery you get to try and solve while you read, all set in a beautiful and fantastical world you get to explore at the same time. THIS FELL INTO MY LIFE ON ACCIDENT AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR IT. I am only halfway through but hooked. Blessed to have a day I can dedicate to reading because I'm pretty sure I'll blaze through the rest. I have a few theories I'm working on but hoping I get to be completely blindsided by the end. I have a feeling I'll need other book recs after this to cope. Y'all I am having the best time!!!
