💃 The Books You Loved in 2024
The Veiled Kingdom
“The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee was not only a riveting fantasy novel, but so short and fast-paced that it's my go-to recommendation for anyone interested in trying out fantasy, but overwhelmed by how thick the book can be. I also thought the story itself was fantastic - rivaling all of the Fourth Wing hype!” — Cynthia
Scotsman in the Stacks
“I grew up in Michigan and the tone of this book hit just right - plus the view of Mackinaw and the feel of the place rang true. It's a jaunty fun romance and I loved it.” — Darlene Reilley
Sex, Lies, and Sensibility
“I still think about the scene in the tent between the two main characters. It's so sexy and has consent and people taking responsibility. Like you have a hot scene and passion w/o the main couple skipping safe sex. The writing is so good Nikki Payne had me convinced Nora and Bear would not get a HEA, even though I knew how the story was supposed to end being a retelling and all.” — Victoria Hamel
