Felicity strikes me as a dark romance reader, and I say this as someone who enjoys dark romance.

Writing Tip:
There's a reason why Sherlock Holmes explains his deductions to Watson. If he didn't, we might assume that the writer is just making up deductions out of thin air. If you plan on making a super smart character, you still have to show your work.

Robin Hobb and specifically The Farseer trilogy is amazing in my opinion. While the slower pacing can make it difficult for some to get into, the character writing is top tier and worth the journey.

Can’t wait to read more of this series. I feel like it’s fitting the season my current mood perfectly.

Awesome! Are there any books like it you’d recommend as well?

Nice! Encyclopaedia of Faeries has been on my TBR for years, and I’m really glad I finally decided to give it a try.

Yes! Spinning Silver is in my TBR, and I just added just added A Deadly Education, but Novik as well.

You had me at Douglas Adams. Add to TBR.

Book cover for Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. The title is in a whimsical serif font surrounded by simply colored illustrations of flowers, mushrooms, and the occasional animal looking bones poking through a circular portal.

Started reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries last night and I’m getting a really good cozy, winter fantasy vibe so far.

I understand. I have The Familiar on my TBR and was curious if there was another book by her you’d recommend.

Were there other books by Leigh Bardugo that you enjoy more?

I will keep buying books and hoard them like gollum. No one can stop me from getting more precious books. 💙📚

I feel the same. Wrote the first 6 chapters of my manuscript entirely on my phone with just the notes app. Felt wrong doing it, but also it got words on a page. Do what works for you.

Every reader needs a high tower, quiet grove, or hidden corner where the world falls away and stories come alive.

A few days ago, I watched Little Shop Of Horror’s for the first time. It was everything I needed it to be and these tomato Audrey II’s are adorable and creepy, which means they’re perfect.

That’s great to hear! Let me know what you think of the Engineer’s Wife.

Know your subgenres,

Thank you! I’m happy with how it turned out, but more importantly my son loved it, and that’s all that mattered to me.

Thank you! My son wanted to dress up as a Huntr/x fan and got so excited when I sang his favorite song from the movie.

Happy Halloween ✨ Went as Mira from Kpop Demon Hunters this year for my son.

I feel this so much. Just hoping some come back when time allows.

Amazing work! I love the monochromatic style. Adding this to the #Booksky feed. 💙📚

I loved One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns. So I put The Knight And The Moth on my TBR, but I’ve heard mixed reviews of it so far.

To me it kinda feels like the music before the title sequence in a movie, but in audiobook form. It’s there to help put you in the right headspace. Though I could see how it could be a turn off to some.

It’s been on my TBR for a long time. Heard nothing but good things about it, but still haven’t read it.

I appreciate the repost very much. Though all my art and my writing, including this piece, don’t use A.I. in any way and are original works from early sketch concept to completion.

Becky Chambers is one of my favorite authors. Love her writing and would recommend her to almost anyone.

I don’t get excited watching hockey, but I do love watching speed skating. I second this, and it would add more variety in the romance genre.

I’m currently reading Alchemised by Senlinyu and Mistborn: The Well Of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson.
