If You Like ‘The Way of Kings’ Add These To Your TBR!
Our BOOK OF THE MONTH is The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.
This is known as one of the best fantasy books of all time. It is a daunting book because of how thick it is, but over two months Maude Garrett and our wonderful community finished it together. It’s an accomplishment to read a book of this length that has been on everyone’s TBRs for years.
We have some recommendations if you have a void after reading The Way of Kings or are looking for something similar without picking this book up!

Top 10 Queer Couples From Books
Happy Pride Month!!
Everyone wins when there is representation in books and other forms of media. It’s important to show different forms of love, sexual identity and orientation. Readers can discover something new about themselves without even realizing it after connecting with a character. The book becomes something special to them; more importantly, they will share what they’ve learned with others.
If You Like ‘Ruthless Vows’ Add These To Your TBR!
Our BONUS BOOK of the month is Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross.
When we first read Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross in February the historical fiction combined with fantasy was refreshing. The enemies-to-lovers story between Iris and Roman was delightful to read because of how heartfelt it was. The letters shared between them were romantic and intimate because they were being vulnerable with one another. Anonymity can help everyone be brave, especially with love.
Ranking The ‘Bridgerton’ Couples
The Bridgerton siblings all find their spotlight in each novel. Quinn wanted to make her characters memorable, so she named them in order of the alphabet. It’s quite cheeky and very effective. Now with the hype of the Netflix Original Series fans of the show have turned to the books.
Julia Quinn’s ability to write a sweet love story with such character depth and spicy moments between them is unmatched. It’s easy to get through one of her books because of her love for these characters. Of course, some love stories are better than others, but that comes down to romantic preference.
If You Like ‘Dark Age’ By Pierce Brown
We have followed this series for book club and have plenty of HOWLERS in our discord community. Maude Garrett has had in-depth discussions with Pierce Brown for every single book in the series and he has had some well-needed insight.
If you are a fan of the Red Rising Saga, there are more fantasy/sci-fi books out there to pick up. Dark Age may feel like a heavy read because it’s 704 pages, but Brown makes it feel like a breeze. There’s so much to tackle in this fifth instalment.
If You Like ‘Artemis’ by Andy Weir Add These To Your TBR
This is the third novel by Weir that we’ve read for book club. We love his humour and the way he explores space in an approachable way for readers.
We have more recommendations if you’ve always been fascinated with space and the themes of loneliness, survival and artificial intelligence. Some of the books listed below cross genres and incorporate horror and fantasy.
