My husband has given me a book shopping spree for my birthday. I would appreciate your help. Please tag some of your favorite reads of the last couple of years in the comment. I am doing research before I shop. I particularly love Fantasy, Romance, and Historical Fiction. Thanks to anyone who comments! I will comment back!

AmyG Historical Fiction 2y

CrowCAH This was the first Bree Wolf book I read and I fell in LOVE with her writing and the characters!!! Now I‘m making my way through the Loves Second Chance series! These are romances. 2y
Chrissyreadit @CrowCAH @MicrobeMom Green Rider is on my shelf after @Avanders gifted it to me and one I really want to read… 2y
CrowCAH @Chrissyreadit gosh, you really need to read it!!! 😍 2y
Mitch I‘ll chip in with some historical fiction - loved 2y
Mitch I also loved this one - 2y
ElizaMarie I don‘t read really any of those types !!! 2y
ElizaMarie This was a cute little love story 2y
Birdsong28 Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. 2y
ElizaMarie Putting that thinking cap 🧢 on :) 2y
LibrarianRyan It‘s odd and book 2 is better than book 1 but 2y
Amiable I don't really read much in those genres so I have nothing to suggest -- just stopping by to say happy birthday! Enjoy your shopping spree! :)
2y
TieDyeDude The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab (fantasy, set in the past) - The Wayward Children series by Seanae McGuire (portal door fantasy. They are releasing a collection of the first three books, but I recommend Down Among the Sticks and Bones if you want to start with just one) - The Woman They Could Not Silence by Kate Moore (nonfiction, but hard to believe). Happy Birthday! (edited) 2y
Crazeedi I am currently reading this, a chunskter but it is very good 2y
Crazeedi Also this another chunkster, but it stayed with me a long time 2y
Blaire Also for another generational saga 2y
Blaire For science fiction I love Ted chiang short stories 2y
Chrissyreadit Your post has added to my TBR! So many good recommendations. Also I tagged you in a post on my page because there were too many books I wanted to recommend- I know sometimes I‘m not notified of tags. 2y
MicrobeMom @jenniferw88 the Prior of the Orange Tree is one that I have wanted to read. So I will definitely be getting that one and the second sounds so interesting! Thank you! 2y

MicrobeMom @Birdsong28 thanks you! This one is definitely on my list. I have only heard good things. 2y

MicrobeMom @amiable thanks! Now I just have to find time to go! 😂😂 2y

Pretty sure the quality is going to be shit, but when I seen an add for a Halloween Special this online store was having, I couldn‘t resist! I mean, at all. No resistance. I bought 10 spooky items! 🫣😂 Hopefully they arrive before the month is over, and I can wear them to rep #TeamSlaughter 👻

Emilymdxn I love it SO much!!! 2y

The way my toddler is behaving lately (Father Christmas has the sack of coal on standby) this photo is just about right. Although I couldn‘t get said toddler to stand where I wanted him (of course!) I took this whilst out doing the last few bits of Christmas shopping yesterday. #wintergames2021 #selfiescavangerhunt #christmasshopping

Today Warren, Fox and I went shopping for Christmas cheese! Once a year we treat ourselves to the really good stuff 😊 and we went for brunch first so we didn‘t make any hunger based decisions (so often my downfall in the supermarket!!) 😄 🧀 #Festivephotochallenge #wintergames2021 #teamgamesleighers

BookDragonNotWorm We do fancy cheese for the holidays too! 🧀💙 3y

I'm fortunate to live near the only Indigo store in the US. I rarely go because I have no other reason to go that way, it's a bit wonky to get to/from, and the mall where it's located is rather high-end. Yesterday I was passing by on my way home so I popped in. If you live/visit the greater Short Hills, NJ area, I suggest a visit. They're a huge store with a big selection. I found a few books I likely wouldn't find at my local indies or B&N.

JacqMac Did you bring help to carry all that? Or did you have a little wagon or something? Weirdly, I need to know. 😂 6y
akckitty @JacqMac Lol, I was carrying a basket! However it got full pretty fast (and heavy) and so one of the employees took my basket to the front and gave me a new one. 😅 6y
JacqMac @akckitty It sounds like you got a real workout. More fun than the gym. Lol 6y

I was texting my family and told them I was out Christmas shopping for them. My daughter said, “No you‘re not. You‘re at Barnes & Noble.” Well, duh!! I got lost in there. 🤶🏻🛍🎄

I made it to B&N today. (The closest is an hour drive away) and saw so many things for myself. Only for my mom to tell me not to buy anything for myself since Christmas is coming up. 😩😉😂 I may have slipped something to the register 🤫
(That‘s my sister‘s hand)

Sleepswithbooks Barnes and Noble is so beautiful to me 😍 6y
