I waited way too long to read The City in Glass, but I always love Nghi Vo's work so it once again pips the Sarah Caudwell books I read in the same month to the post. The City in Glass is a strange fever-dream of a book, and beautiful.

TheEllieMo Another new one to me, it‘s a genre I‘ve tended to shy away from, but it sounds interesting 2d

I love this #AuldLangSpine list from my match @rachelsbrittain ! The only one I‘ve already read is Sunrise on the Reaping. In January I‘m going to attempt to read 3- The Incandescent, as I already have it, Hemlock & Silver (Jan‘s #AuthorAMonth, how convenient!), and An Extraordinary Union as I can get it right away on Libby. I‘m making myself a StoryGraph challenge to keep reading the rest throughout the year.

Looking forward to diving in!

rachelsbrittain Love it! So glad you're excited about the list and already have a few picked out 😊 I'm hoping to read your list throughout the whole year too 4w

Soubhiville @rachelsbrittain I built the StoryGraph challenge 😁, I can‘t wait to start checking them off! I also bought myself a copy of A Gentleman‘s Gentleman while I was Christmas shopping today, since my library doesn‘t have that one. I feel confident I‘m going to love this list. @monalyisha I think you nailed this partnership! 3w

rachelsbrittain @Soubhiville I fully second that! Great work as always @monalyisha 3w

I first came upon Emily Tesh through the Greenhollow Duology. 'The Incandescent' is quite different, but still has beautiful prose. I love dark academia and like how the main POV is from a head director rather than a student. You get to see a different side of the academia. I also enjoyed the romance. The audiobook narration is wonderful. 4 stars.

Ruthiella This is on my list. I loved this one:

Some Desperate Glory

It has been a long while since I last read this series. Good thing there are those Story so Far summary at the beginning 😅

2✨ This book hurt. We have a demon that loves her city that is destroyed. An angel helps her rebuild, but more happens that caused my personal heartache. It is short in jumps through time a lot because of that. Then it hurt. 😭 #FableBR @Littlewolf1

Ah, someone took the idea “what if there's actually something sinister behind all the murders happening in [small town]“ and ran with it.

I found it a bit slow at times, and just... didn't wholly click with it. But overall it was a fun idea.
