BookWithAMagicalSetting

Catching up after a busy weekend!

9. #bookwithamagicalsetting - I‘m cheating a bit here as I haven‘t actually read City of Brass yet, but I will be reading it before the month is up! ✨

10. #longestbookyouread - goes to this epic, Lonesome Dove 🙌🏻

11. #bookyoufinallyreadthisyear - Pride & Prejudice is a classic I was ashamed not to have read until this year... but I finally did it and now I see what all the fuss is about ❤️

#AllTheBooksOf2017

The best #bookwithamagicalsetting that I read this year was Deathless. Magical, lush, complicated and smart, it's a gorgeous book to sink into.

According to Goodreads, the companion book (not exactly a sequel) is due out in October 2018. Not sure how firm that date is, but here's hoping 🤞🏻

Siannalyn I have this book in my wishlist since forever! I'm glad tou enjoyed it and I hope to get to it soon! 7y

Cathythoughts What a cover. 💫💫💫💫 7y

Nat_Reads I just opened this one! Your review motivated me to move it up the list! 7y

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix | J.K. Rowling

So, technically, all the books in The Familiar are longer page-wise, but the word count of Order of the Phoenix is probably higher...

This is a #bookwithamagicalsetting that I‘ve read this year. The opening line is certainly memorable and one of the most recognisable first lines!

Nutmegnc I loved that one!! 7y

#allthebooksof2017 #bookwithamagicalsetting

I‘m leaving out the obvious books with magical settings I‘ve been reading this year (Harry Potter, LOTR, Wheel of Time), and instead highlighting these three, which are more focused on magic (or faerie) intersecting with our own world, in sometimes frightening ways. Each one of these surprised me with how much more there was to the story than I originally expected. I loved all three.

elkeOriginal I loved 2 of these so may need to look into the 3rd! 7y

BarbaraJean @elkeo Oooh, which two? 7y

elkeOriginal Totally loved both Bone Gap and Roses & Rot! 7y

BarbaraJean @elkeo 👍🏼Definitely check out Wylding Hall! I felt like it had very much the same feel as Roses and Rot—the dark side of faerie! It‘s a short one, but so good. (edited) 7y

elkeOriginal Will do! 7y
