Hello!
Here's the link to a video where I talk about these books:
And here's the books! With pictures, when I have them.
Love a la Mode by Stephanie K. Strohm
What I like about You by Marisa Kanter
The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery
Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
Thorn by Intisar Khanani
(and Bloodleaf Crystal Smith)
Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko
Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
Series I'd Like to Talk about:
Twelve Houses Sharon Shinn
Sunshield/Creatures of Light by Emily B. Martin
The Spy series by Mercedes Lackey
Court of Fives by Kate Elliott
I also forgot to mention that the Dealing with Dragons series by Patricia C. Wrede holds up! Other books that hold up are For Darkness Shows the Stars / Across a Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund, What Goes Up by Katie Kennedy, Hunted by Meagan Spooner, The Only Thing Worse than Me Is You by Lily Anderson, and just about any Terry Pratchett. (Books that I loved in the past that I wanted to see if I'd still like.)
I also reread some books that I already knew I liked but wanted the comfort anyway. And some new ones that were okay but not worth mentioning. You know, just a regular year.
