Law I read The Wishing Game, but it was only okay. Is The Lost Story any good? Bad Cree was horrifying. Is I Was a Teenage Slasher at the same level?


message 2: by James (new)

James Gilbert I'll definitely keep an eye out for The Bright Sword! Sounds like an interesting read!

Anna Brown @Jamie love your extras! I'm most excited about The Ex Vows and also Not Another Love Song!


message 7: by Toast (new)

Toast Is The Black Bird Oracle a standalone, in a series where you have to read the ones before (like a normal series), or is it in an interconnected series?

It’s the fifth book in the All Souls books by Deborah Harkness. The first one is A Discovery of Witches.

Kassidy Williams Tessa Bailey’s ‘fangirl down’ was super cringe. I imagine this book of hers will be similar.

Baalgoroth Thank goodness my love of small town Texas circa 1989 has finally been put into a book
