I’m glad to see you enjoyed the V. E. Schwab books! I picked up copies of both this year, but haven’t started either one yet. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get to them!

I sadly haven’t read any of these authors. I am currently watching the BBC’s great new series The Last Kingdom which is based on Bernard Cornwell’s novels – so I would be tempted to read his work.
As for me I have read new fantasy novels by Cheryl Mahoney and fascinating historical non-fiction by Susan Doran. Plus I have read some classics for the first time by Frances Hodgson Burnett and Edith Nesbit.

I definitely want to read more Bernard Cornwell! And I must watch The Last Kingdom!
Some great ones on your list too! FHB and Edith Nesbit are definitely some of my favourites from childhood. I must re-read!

Becky Chambers would definitely be on my top 10 list! I’m just about to crack open Red Rising so I hope lots of awesomeness is in store. Also, am curious about V. E. Schwab. I think I’m going to go ahead and order Vicious, now… whoohoo great reading ahead!
