Just finished up the last book tonight!
[First in a Series] - The Book of Koli by M. R. Carey (This one surprised me, and I loved it! It has a self-aware AI in an iPod - but don’t call it an iPod, Monono will get upset)
[Title Begins with a J] - The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri (The world-building and politics were really well done)
[New to You Author] - The Wild Ones by Nafiza Azad (This was the only real disappointment on the card, but I can’t really put my finger on why. It doesn’t didn’t click for me.)
[Meant to Read in 2022] - Heartstopper: Volume 3 by Alice Oseman (I wish this series was longer!)
[Published in January] - Shadows of Dust by Alec Hutson (A bit slow in the beginning, but the payoff is worth it)
[Property is Inherited] - The House at the Edge of Magic by Amy Sparkes (so long as “manipulated so the protagonist ends up in possession of a little toy house, which grows into a full-sized house causing her to become involved to the point that she must help the other inhabitants or die with them” counts as “inheriting” the house LOL)
[Silver or Gold on the Cover} - City of Light by Will Wight (Not as good a series as Cradle, but still very good, and this ending was epic)
[Read with a Book Club] - Shad Hadid and the Alchemists of Alexandria by George Jreije (read with the Resident Authors Bookclub on r/fantasy)
[Set in a Small Town] - Small Town Pride by Phil Stamper (I mean, it’s in the title… LOL)
[Fictional Setting} - Hatched: Dragon Farmer by Caren Hahn (It has dragons; you can’t get much more fictional than that.)
[Multilingual Protagonist] - Tongue Eater by John Bierce (Not all of the protagonists; but some of them)
[Debut Book] - Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko (LOVED THIS ONE! Can’t wait to read the sequel!)
[Free} - Dark Rise by C. S. Pacat (because a free square is just another opportunity to read a book)
[American History} - The Slave Dancer by Paula Fox (This one introduced me to a part of the slave trade that I didn’t know about before)
[One Person on the Cover] - The Unbroken by C. L. Clark (Fantastic world-building)
[Body Positivity Theme] - The Magical Imperfect by Chris Baron (Written and verse and all the better for it)
[Mistaken Identity] - The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale (“deliberately misled identity” might be more accurate, but it still counts…)
[Heroine in STEM Field] - Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood (Hey! A book that’s not science fiction or fantasy! LOL)
[Borrowed from the Library] - The Girl Who Saved Christmas by Matt Haig (I think I liked this one better than the first book in the series: A Boy Called Christmas)
[Punctuation in Title] - Mercury’s Shadow by P. J. Garcin (I read this in one sitting. So good!)
[Picked up for the Cover] - The Enchanter by Tobias Begley (This book absolutely lived up to its cover; I can’t wait to read the next in the series)
[Nonfiction] - Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World - Matt Parker (This was a great book to read to see how important mathematics is to so many jobs, and what happens when mistakes are made - because they will always be made. The best part is you don’t have to be a math genius to follow it.)
[First Book You Read in 2023] - Authoboyography - Christina Lauren (If you read this, have tissues handy.)
[Title Begins with W] - Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deana (a retelling/reimagining of the Trojan War that is absolutely fantastic)
