I love Mercedes Lackey! Her books are some of my favorites!

[apebblemaster]

I actually just finished A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking a couple of days ago and LOVED IT! The main character was just so wonderful and I loved everything in this book!

[BecxReadz]

Wizards guide to defensive baking was super cute.

Witch Hat Atelier quickly became my favorite manga ever, it deals with so many artists struggles (inspiration, plagiarism, artblock...) and societal issues, I cannot recommend it enough! ♥ (And Shirahama has the prettiest artstyle AAAH)
Thank you for sharing your recommandations with us! The art of prophecy is really intriguing, I'll check it out soon! ♥

[Donaithnen]

I was surprised and happy that Lackey was included!

Since you focus more on fantasy, I would recommend checking out Bujold's "World of the Five Gods" aka "Chalion" series, either the older novels ("Curse of Chalion" and "Paladin of Souls", and the not quite a sequel "Hallowed Hunt") or the newer series of novellas, "Penric and Desdemona".

It won a Hugo for best series in 2018 (and her SF series the Vorkosigan Saga won the same award in 2017) but despite that neither series seems to get talked about much in Booktube.

I’m so excited for the Art of Destiny by Wesley Chu to come out in August!!! You are the reason I read The Art of Prophecy and I absolutely loved the book!!!

[janus]

Unrelated note, I love your covers for the scythe trilogy

[GwenCooper-lb]

Great recommendations, thank you! I also really loved Rebecca Ross' Duology, A River Enchanted and A Fire Endless, they are a wonderful story and so well written, I have been surprised that fantasy booktubers haven't read or discussed it.

I listened to A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking a couple of months ago. I discovered T. Kingfisher last year also. I love it when a story is focused on a small seemingly useless power and the magic user does a deep dive into all the uses of that power and they end up being more useful that the strong power blasting types.

Witch Hat Atelier is so good! Thanks for the rec! So pretty too 😊

Sabriel by Garth Nix. I know it's "old" but I love it. I've read it 3 times in the last 3 years (since I first read it) and it's just kind of cozy/dark fantasy (and is shelved YA). I know it may not be to everyone's taste, but I recommend it to everyone anyway. I was actually reminded strongly of it while reading Sorcery of Thorns. You can read Sabriel as a standalone even though there are more books in the series. They follow other characters at different times (future/past).

A huge YES to Cinda Williams Chima - she never gets enough love. Her 7 Realms series is SO, SO underrated. If you ever want me to get you a signed copy of one of her books I see her a few times a year; I'd be glad to hook you up as a thank you from an appreciative subscriber 💜 I also see the Knight Owl author here and there so same goes for that one.

Just started the video but I just spotted Ruination on your shelf and it makes my LoL heart so happy

[booksandlifewithlaura]

I'm currently reading The raven and the reindeer by T. Kingfisher and I'm loving the story. I love The snow queen fairytale and T. Kingfisher has made interesting plot twist to this fairytale.

[yuklimka]

So many books and series to look forward to! I always make sure to take notes when I watch your videos.

[jennifersterken]

I absolutely adored Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking!! One of my favorite books I read last year.

[eliotopian]

monsters we defy has been on my shelf for awhile, I need to get to it!

[PureMagma]

I just purchased "The Art of Prophecy" because of your recommendation. Also because that book looks so beautiful. I got the hardback to give my son for his upcoming birthday ❤️‍🔥💞🦄 ...and the Kindle/Audible versions for myself. 🌠👑

I swear that watching your videos costs me much money! Good thing there's no such thing as owning too many books! 😂❤

[Books_BrewsandBeyond]

I'm hoping to get to Children of Ragnarok soon as I have heard such great things about it.

[lisagna]

I'm so glad you reviewed The Monsters We Defy a while ago, I probably wouldn't have picked it up without you and I really liked it!
