⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Daniel Henning is an AMAZING audiobook reader, and this sequel really lives up to Cerulean Sea. The kids are older and more powerful, and so are the adults! This book is about reclaiming your power, and I absolutely loved it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A super fun holiday rom com! Lots of puns, great characters, & surprisingly complicated politics among the holidays. Perfect for 4th quarter reading. Can't wait for the next one!
Chuck Tingle

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chuck Tingle has managed to create a story that is both utterly horrifying AND full of joy. With creative monsters, an interesting plot, characters you can get behind, & above all, joy, this book hit every nerve of my little queer heart. ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Solid, fast-paced, action-packed ending to one of my favorite trilogies. Brilliant characters, highly entertaining. The setting based on the pre-Columbian Americas is so unique & wonderful. I'm emotionally wrecked & highly satisfied.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A crushing reincarnation fantasy that will split you open & leave your heart in the wind. Well drawn characters, great worldbuilding, well written. Warning: this is sold as "romantasy" but most definitely is not, so revise expectations.
Rebecca Thorne
Paperback
$19.99
$18.59
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fits squarely into cozy fantasy, with tea, baking, found family, love, & cottagecore fun. Plus dragons & griffins! Also has enough plot to keep you interested, even though you can take comfort that no one will die (probably).
Juno Dawson

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gave me the most emotional damage I've had since Green Bone Saga. Wrekt. Sometimes hard to read, but well done characters I got way too attached to. TW for TERF POV with willfully persistent misgendering.
Benjamin Stevenson
Hardback

$27.90
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoy the vibes of these books. Cozy mystery with a dash of humor and a big helping of breaking the fourth wall. Didn't like this one as much as the first, but still really enjoyed it.
Chana Porter
Paperback
$16.00
$14.88
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Weird, emotional little book! Aliens in the form of weird tech, people becoming babies again, it's chaotic in the best way.
Brynne Weaver

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Listened to this because I heard good things about the audiobook, & it was phenomenally produced with duet narration. It's dark & gratuitous, but if you like both romance and horror, check it out! I had fun with it.
Leigh Bardugo
Paperback
$19.99
$18.59
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bardugo continues with excellent worldbuilding & character building in this sequel to Ninth House. I LOVED the gentleman demon, the jaunts into Hell, the interesting take on vampires. And the way it ended made me really excited for book 3!
