The Wicked + the Divine: Year One | Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie

pick

104/100 I waited too long to read this, it was amazing!! I think it's the best graphic novel series I've read since Saga. Outstanding artwork and a deeply involving mystery. Every 90 years, 12 gods are reborn, but they only live for 2 years then they pass away for another 90 years. Really interesting character development and a mystery that had me flipping the pages as fast as I could to see where it was going. The ending was shocking, but it ⬇️

RamsFan1963 fit the story perfectly, and set up the next mystery to be solved. 5 🌟 read #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 2d

Karisa Sounds fantastic! I love Saga too. 😊 2d

It must be me. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

This is very predictable. I was hoping it's just red herrings and the big twists were still coming, but nope.

Ruthiella Well, off your list at least. 🎄🔪🎅🏻💀Have you read other stuff from the author? I have this one on my virtual TBR list

Behind Her Eyes

julesG @Ruthiella I think I read a short story of hers in an anthology some years ago, but no other novel. 2d

The Incandescent | Emily Tesh

I love this #AuldLangSpine list from my match @rachelsbrittain ! The only one I‘ve already read is Sunrise on the Reaping. In January I‘m going to attempt to read 3- The Incandescent, as I already have it, Hemlock & Silver (Jan‘s #AuthorAMonth, how convenient!), and An Extraordinary Union as I can get it right away on Libby. I‘m making myself a StoryGraph challenge to keep reading the rest throughout the year.

Looking forward to diving in!

rachelsbrittain Love it! So glad you're excited about the list and already have a few picked out 😊 I'm hoping to read your list throughout the whole year too 5d

Soubhiville @rachelsbrittain I built the StoryGraph challenge 😁, I can‘t wait to start checking them off! I also bought myself a copy of A Gentleman‘s Gentleman while I was Christmas shopping today, since my library doesn‘t have that one. I feel confident I‘m going to love this list. @monalyisha I think you nailed this partnership! 4d

rachelsbrittain @Soubhiville I fully second that! Great work as always @monalyisha 4d

This Savage Song | Victoria Schwab

pick

This is a book about monsters - but this is a photo of a baby Orca! Not a monster I promise! 😍
Cleaning up my Kindle and read this Victoria Schwab in a single afternoon. Just a fast paced dystopian with monsters - reminded me a little bit of Arcane (not so complex though) or Naomi Novik‘s Scholomance series. Definitely my wheelhouse.

merelybookish Cool photo! 1w

Ruthiella Wow, what a picture ! 😮 1w

Dilara Wow! I hope the baby orca wasn't in distress - so close to the shore 😮 7d

Centique @Dilara it was all good 👍 two babies came into the rocky bay to explore and then went back to their mother who was just a few metres away. 7d

Dilara @Centique That's reassuring! 😃 7d

Reggie That‘s beautiful! 6d

Centique @Reggie i was so excited when we saw it - just a tiny beach on a day in autumn, hardly anyone around but us and three or four surfers. Just magical - they only stayed for a couple of minutes and we watched them go round the corner and back to their mum. Probably following a sting ray or maybe a diver had broken up some shellfish on those rocks. 6d

The Incandescent | Emily Tesh

pick

I first came upon Emily Tesh through the Greenhollow Duology. 'The Incandescent' is quite different, but still has beautiful prose. I love dark academia and like how the main POV is from a head director rather than a student. You get to see a different side of the academia. I also enjoyed the romance. The audiobook narration is wonderful. 4 stars.

Ruthiella This is on my list. I loved this one:

Bedlam's Bard | Mercedes Lackey, Ellen Guon

A friend and I realized we both read and loved this as teens, so now we (plus my husband) have formed a book club for a re-read. So far, just as fun as I remember interspersed with more awkward writing than I realized. Definitely excited to read more. I'm collecting every played song in a playlist on Spotify (skipping ones just mentioned unless also implied that it may have been played).
