Standalones are my jam right now. There just isn't enough time for 47 books in all the series. Thanks for the TBR additions.

[@mercury9765]

Ya same. I used to love series, and I still do, but now I feel like I just want to experience more characters and worlds

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

Right. I’ve been staying away from series books. I’ve read some duologies and have been loving them.

[@Tersanay]

@@Tiffs-bookshelf Same.

[@duskaf.5078]

I agree and also can't wait to add some to my tbr

[@mischarowe]

I feel that. When I find a new series and it turns out there's TONNES of books I'm less likely to pick it up.

[@rebar351]

My favorite stand-alone definitely is sorcery of thorns! I’m excited for the novella that was just announced! I absolutely loved the shadows between us that was top read of last year!

[@constanzafrancese7787]

Please I enjoyed Sorcery of Thorns and To Kill a Kingdom SO MUCH! I already had some of the other books in my tbr because of previous recommendations of yours but I guess I'm gonna have to add more now 🤭

[@wiebsche]

I would be very interested in a video about trilogies and if you usually like book 1, 2 or 3 best. You could first give your guess and then go through your actual rating of the individual books of some trilogies and see if your guess was correct!

[@nitzeart]

I really enjoyed An Enchantment of Ravens whenI read it. I was sick at the time and needed something fluffy and cute. And surprisingly I found that it also had beautiful writing, amazing atmosphere and so funny. And then I read Vespertine and Margaret Rogerson turned into one of my all-time favorite authors 😍 that book broke me but in a good way.

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Ugh! I’m completely obsessed with the book cover of Descendant of the Crane! 🤩 Aaaaand yeah. I’ve just bought Wicked Fox! 😬

[@catsandbats77]

I haven't seen that particular cover of Gallant. I loved Small Favors and definitely want to pick up House of Salt and Sorrows. I pre-ordered the new paperback of Descendant of the Crane. I got so excited when it was announced. I wish Elatsoe had more world building or that there was a sequel because I was fascinated by it and wanted more.

[@robthomas3968]

I’ve nearly finished Warrior of the Wild it’s brilliant I only started it yesterday morning I can’t put it down, it’s up there with Dunk and Egg, thanks for the recommendation, now i need to find a new read

[@radiantchristina]

Yesssss! I am no longer into series so am always open to standalone fantasy !

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

I am still yet to read Vespertine but I am hoping to get to it soon as I have heard good things about it. I enjoyed Small Favors and the twist was well done. I read Kingdom of Back after your recommendation and it was so enjoyable. I also still need to read Girl Serpent Thorn.

[@ReadingNymph]

I really need to read Kingdom of Beck! I enjoyed both Heartless and To Kill a Kingdom

[@FreyaWarr]

Oh, I had no idea Vespertine was a stand alone! That will bump it up my list! I’m all about stand alone lately

[@shiannebowlin2736]

Great recs! One of my favorite standalones is A Thousand Steps Into Night by Traci Chee.

[@fralou_sind_kreativ]

Thanks so much, I really want to read now! Gonna get some of those you recommended :)

[@althea9909]

❤ Sorcery of Thorns ❤ Also recommend checking out Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw and Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge (B&B retelling)

[@somatoes4667]

winterwood is absolutely breathtaking

[@random23287]

I’d just like to mention that Sorcery of Thorns has casual bi rep in the love interest :)

[@MamaDiep]

I love your Sailor Moon tee. I have it too! 🤍🌙

[@jjgarrett8225]

Where is it from? I love it too 💕

[@MamaDiep]

@@jjgarrett8225 Target in the men's graphic tee section!

[@TheBookishMom]

Little Thieves was so good, and yeah yeah it WILL have a sequel but I agree that it has a very satisfying ending and I am pretty happy with it as a standalone for now myself.

[@martynabrewczyk3023]

'Hotel Magnifique' would fit on this list as well - it's a standalone (I'm pretty sure) YA fantasy, released this year :)

[@grahamsmith2753]

My favourite standalone fantasy is Weaveworld, by Clive Barker. It is both magical and disturbing. It was published in 1987 and was nominated in 1988 for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.

[@TheDragonCodexBk]

I wrote a book that would fit perfectly into this list. The Dragon Codex: Quest for the Relics of Design is a story about young dragons who have to learn graphic design normal realm from creative desolation. It's a great story about perseverance, friendship and family.

[@miiiiaaah]

I haven’t read Little Thieves but I thought it had a sequel coming out next year?

[@patriciafernandes1396]

Me too : “painted devils”

[@agohl85]

I really enjoyed Warrior of the Wild and Long May She Reign - although, Long May She Reign is one of those few standalone books that I feel could have benefited from a sequel... I didn't want the story to end.

[@drinkbooks]

Aaaand that's 7 more on my TBR lol :D Thank you!

[@aprilskylynn]

OMG!!!! 🤯🤯🙊🙊 I LOVE your Sailor Moon top!!! Where did you get it?! 😍😍😍😍😍 I need one!!!! 😭😭😭💜💜❤❤

[@mybookishdelights4767]

I think if you liked Wicked Deep you would also like Winterwood. There's just something about Shea Ernshaw's writing that sucks me in! Also The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd Jones is one I never see talked about and I loved it!

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

I did read sorcery of thorns. I have the other two but haven’t read them yet. They are on KU too which is great

[@sammyylamb]

There’s also going to be a fluffy novella sequel to sorcery of thorns!!

[@coffeewithcady]

I really liked that Little Thieves was a stand alone, but now there’s a sequel called “painted devils.” I love Hotel Magnifique!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo yes love sorcery of thorns!!

[@mischarowe]

Small Favors sounds really great.

[@AlexsisGato]

Sailor moon 😍 I love your shurt

[@khomo12]

Nice list!

[@danielleoliver1734]

Doesn’t wicked fox have a sequel, Vicious Spirits, or is it only a companion novel ?

[@tiannab328]

You're right, it's a sequel

[@catv4300]

Vespertine is a series!

[@whimsydearest]

Vespertine is wonderful, but Rogerson has stated in interviews that it's the first of her works that isn't intended as a standalone.

[@audreyajose632]

She mentioned on her Goodreads that people can read it as a standalone and that's why it has a complete ending but yes it's going to be a series.

[@whimsydearest]

Sorry, I'm still waking up and I didn't word my comment the greatest. 😅Yes, Vespertine can be technically be read by itself, but I meant it's the first in a planned series.

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

I recently read Girl Serpent Thorn and it was so good! With Vespertine, I am never sure whether it's a standalone because it was announced as a series. But can it be read as standalone?

[@Jay100.]

So many choices I don’t know which one to pick! It’s especially hard coz I’m very picky and most books that everyone loves sucked for me 😅

[@FreyaWarr]

If you like Small Favors you should check out The Near Witch by VE Scwabb. Similar vibes IMO

[@kylasamad1266]

Will you do a video about fantasy books with poetic writing like the name of the wind? I enjoyed reading that style and would love your recommendations!

[@ivylilybasket]

I thought Vespertine was a duology?

[@acidburnsaya]

Just finished “to kill a kingdom” and loved it! Sooooo good Read “gallant” and did not love that one :(

[@maxnetirtimon4121]

can you review The Painted Man by peter v brett???

[@RodgersReads]

Elatsoe sounds so gooood 👀

[@ind1gnat1on]

Can you please link to your glasses? They're beautiful on you!

[@thewitchyreader6131]

Great video!

[@christianem.7792]

Sorcery of Thornes will get a sequel I believe.

[@chrisken8902]

Keep the dead DEAD !!! LOL

[@Jesse.Walkinshaw]

I really didn't enjoy long may she reign. I know it came out in 2017 but a book that did it better with this exact trope is Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep came out I 2018 it's a trilogy but again with this exact trope and did it 1000000000x better.
