#bookstodon, my TBR list is getting dangerously short. Please recommend new(ish) books in #fantasy, #historical and/or #QueerRomance.
My favourite authors include but are not limited to:
Natasha Pulley, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, KJ Charles, AJ Demas, T Kingfisher, Juniper Butterworth, Alexis Hall, CM Waggoner, Emily Tesh, Lissa Evans, Freya Marske, Caitlyn Rozakis, Zen Cho, Naomi Novak, Antonia Hodgson, Edgar CanteroI don’t like anything too cosy (I need plot) or too dark. Very rarely like anything labelled a “BookTok sensation” or YA, or that has a contemporary setting. Prefer older protagonists, or at least ones who are out of their teens. Prefer standalones. Don’t mind a bit of murder mystery mixed into those other genres.
In particular wanting to try new/debut authors. Indie recommendations very welcome, but nothing that’s only on Amazon. Kobo Plus reccs welcome.
If it’s very popular, assume I’ve read it or don’t want to :)
Thanks!
@wendypalmer @katfeete TM Baumgartner?
I adore the portal series. It's a touch of romance, but mostly character and plot driven science fiction centered on a vet who ends up being a specialist in xenofauna.

@wendypalmer @bookstodon Have you seen the (finished) Rook and the Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick? Swashbuckling heist fantasy with excellent worldbuilding, I adored it.
Recently finished The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgeson and LOVED it — fantasy political mystery. Dark at points but the characters never lose their sense of humor and that got me through.
And a final rec for Voyage of the Damned, a fantasy murder mystery with a very gay, very funny protag that was a great (if bloody) romp.
I ADORED The Raven Scholar, it’s the one reason I can’t claim to completely eschew romantasy.
The other two sound great, I’ve put them on my list, thank you 😊

Thank you - I enjoyed Theoretical Magic, so will definitely check the portal series out!

Meta condannata a pagare 30 milioni a Deutsche Telekom per l’uso della rete. Il “fair share” deciso dai giudici
Una corte tedesca ha condannato una filiale di Meta al pagamento di 30 milioni di euro a Deutsche Telekom per servizi di rete utilizzati dalle piattaforme del gruppo (Facebook, Instagram e Whatsapp). Sarà un precedente per le future dispute fra telco e OTT nell'ambito del Digital Networks Act?
