Im so impressed with your ability to match some of these super specific ones 🪀

[@MelLenoreReads]

It was a challenge 😂

[@esmayrosalyne]

I love how intensely specific some of these were hahahaha. Also, I will take this as my cue again to hurry up and get back to Fireborne!!

[@MelLenoreReads]

YES FIREBORNE

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

Thank you so much for the recommendations for mine-I’m off to go get my hands on both of those Darcy Coates books. I haven’t read any Darcy yet and this seems like the perfect nudge to start!! I also got tons of other ones more on my radar based on some of the other recommendations-fun and helpful video 😊

[@MelLenoreReads]

YES DARCY. Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it

[@drunkentraveler78]

Great recommendations. Thanks!!!

[@MelLenoreReads]

Glad you liked it!

[@msbenny1007]

Thank you for the recs! 😊

[@MelLenoreReads]

Of course. I hope they work out!

[@gabbylikestoread]

Thank you so much for the recs!I will definitely be checking out the tethered mage and The emperor's blades!!

[@MelLenoreReads]

You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy!

[@StephanieGoodrich3]

Great recs! I feel like another one with a good ghost would be The Haunting of Gillespie House.

[@MelLenoreReads]

True! Darcy for the win

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I would definitely love a recommendation of a really good paranormal horror book.

[@MelLenoreReads]

Darcy coats is my go to for this! She writes some good ghostly stuff. Mary or the Nestlings by Nat Cassidy! Incidents around the House I just read and didn't love, but I know a ton of horror reader that did.

[@AmandasBooktopia]

@@MelLenoreReads I actually have these on my wish list!

[@NikkiKeaton713]

I already wanted to read Fireborne, but hearing you pitch it with that specific request has definitely moved it up on my list

[@MelLenoreReads]

AHHHH YES YES

[@kittymagica6408]

First thing that came to mind for mentor/mentee was Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent.

[@MelLenoreReads]

That’s a good one.

[@natasagajic1061]

For the person asking for "adult epic fantasy with a political driven story and romance (little to no spice)", I'd warmly recommend Rook & Rose series by M.A. Carrick. It is very much a political fantasy with focus on relationships between characters (be it familial, friendly or romantic). The romance is also quite a slow burn 💖 and there are multiple possible romantic relationships to root for. I'm currently reading the second book in the series and loving every second of it ☺

[@MelLenoreReads]

This is a good recommendation!

[@natasagajic1061]

@@MelLenoreReads Thanks! I hope that the person loves it as much as I do (and I truly am loving every second of it), if they decide to pick it up ☺

[@caitlinl2750]

I’ve read all but 7 of these!!!!🎉❤

[@MelLenoreReads]

Nice!! I hope you like the remaining 7!

[@natcommon]

So many great recs! Still need to get to the new Rob J. Hayes.

[@MelLenoreReads]

Yessss. I really need to get on Herald

[@bookishsatty]

Thanks a ton for so many recommendations. I'm so excited to start them all.

[@MelLenoreReads]

I hope you enjoy!

[@juliacash8135]

I’ve got a few queer sapphic romance books that are mostly fantasy for you. I know you were looking for some so I hope you like these.

These are all sapphic romance books that I hope you like.

[@MelLenoreReads]

Thank you for the recommendations!

[@juliacash8135]

@@MelLenoreReads you’re welcome! Had you heard of any of these or read any of them?

[@strawberrylime33]

Wow, thats a lot! Ive only heard of alicia jasinska. How many of these are NA or adult fantasy? I unfortunately have been reading a lot of fantasy that says adult but is actually YA (like The Stardust Theif).

[@juliacash8135]

@@strawberrylime33The Empress of Salt and fortune, the luminous dead, and silver in the wood, are all adult books. The rest I mentioned I believe are YA. I could not find an answer for a few of them so it might help to double check. The ones i mentioned above I know for sure are adult though.

Fireborne DEFINITELY made me cry. I think the whole trilogy did tbh

Is lady of darkness very spicy? I want to read it but I don’t like much spice. 3/10 or less is what I normally read.

[@MelLenoreReads]

It isn't in book 1 but yes in books 2 and beyond

[@skytatum428]

Do you have a fast paced fantasy recommendation with not a ton of romance and LGBTQ, POC or disability rep would be a plus

[@MelLenoreReads]

Ashes of the Sun would fit this for sure! It is LGBTQ and I think disability rep. Very fast paced

[@aprilvaughn1089]

The best straight love love story between a man and a woman

[@MelLenoreReads]

Thanks for watching. I feel that this would require a lot more information in order for me to give a recommendation as this is probably the most common in the genre. I always encourage branching out!
