My two favorites from the last few months have been The Way of the Strangers by Graeme Wood and The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku.
Am I allowed to have a few? Because I can’t pick just one haha: Priory of the Orange Tree, Jane Eyre, Lord of the Rings series, A Song of Ice and Fire series (yes, even after the season that will not be named), Fingersmith, Rebecca, Redwall series. There’s more, but I feel like this is too many already 😅
I have Devil House in my to read pile! I’m going to put it at the top of the stack now
I had the priory of the orange tree for years but never read it as I wasn't sure if it'd be my thing as I bought it on a whim. When I did eventually read it last year, it turned out to have everything I like in a book. Different mythology influences, lgbtq characters written well and characters I gave a shit about.
The more the merrier! Love book recommendations, thank you!
Lord Valentine’s Castle by Robert Silverberg
I'm probably just a basic bitch but I reread Frankenstein as an adult and it hits.
It very much does! Good choice.
My favourite book is hands down the scorpio races by maggie stiefvater. I've read that book so many times I've lost count now
Great title!
