the very secret society of irregular witches special edition

Fated Blades might not seem cosy on the surface, but a book from Ilona and Gordon is always a gift, and they manage to combine action and emotion in a way that rivets me to the page, so I’m counting it.ĭance with the Devil is maybe more cathartic than cosy-a found family working together to take down a tyrannical government-but it’s my list, so I’m counting it, too. And most of the books I have read have been in the last six months, once my brain was far enough out of the deadline haze to focus. Reading this year has been very hit and miss for me, and while Goodreads assures me I’ve read forty-six books, it doesn’t feel like it, because there are probably that many or more just languishing on my Kindle, partially read. I try to keep my book rec page updated throughout the year, with varying levels of success, but I wanted to call out four of my very faves, in no particular order: Legends & Lattes, Fated Blades, Dance with the Devil, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Here are some of my favorites from the year, with fair warning that there is definitely recency bias because the first half of the year was kind of a deadline blur. It’s me, I’m someone, and I’m looking for gift ideas.

That way, if someone is looking for a last-minute gift, there will be some options!
