Just finished reading Quicksilver by @calliehartauthor.bsky.social Friday night and I absolutely love Saeris & Kingfisher, and I need more Lorreth in my life. I am diving into Brimstone (the next book in the series,) to get it read in time for book club on the 14th of January.

I met @meganhaskellauthor.bsky.social at my local NPR station’s first ever book festival this August and picked this up at her booth and it was one of my most fun reads of the year. Looking forward to reading the next one Aether Crossed in 2026.

A Master of Djinn by @pdjeliclark.bsky.social is an absolutely gorgeous Egyptian steam punk story and I am really hoping there is more after this one. I need more Agent Fatma in my life.

Belladonna was in my physical TBR for a few years and I finally read it in August after seeing Adamyn Grace at SDCC and then devoured the rest of the series by late October. Absolutely loved them all.

Killers of a Certain Age was my biggest surprise 5⭐️ read this year. I totally love these older retired female assassins. After finishing this & it’s sequel I began devouring books by @deannaraybourn.bsky.social pretty sure she has been my most read author this year.

The Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney mysteries by Claudia Gray are fun Jane Austen inspired stories. They have clear neurodivergent representation in Johnathan Darcy and Miss Tilney is perfectly a feminist of her era. #BookSky💙📚

In my opinion Guy Gavriel Kay can do no wrong. I love the world he has put his history inspired fantasy novels in. The flow of his prose is gorgeous and I always feel like I just finished reading one very engaging poem.

This book was recommended to me by a former co-worker that also reads a lot. I really enjoyed this for a fun, intense story. All of these characters are so chaotic it’s a bit surprising that I loved them all (chaos is not really my jam,) but I really did.
