You’re so pretty Riley and I love your book recommendations. Reading novels is hard for me so I stick to writing and reading poetry more so but I still love hearing your opinions on the stories :3

The Athena Club books were some of my favorites this year! I read all the Wayward Children books for the first time over Christmas break and they were amazing and also new favorites. I can't wait to read Black Sun and The Wicker King!

i read literally every book from this list, mostly because of your recs, and gave every single one four or five stars!! (apart from black sun which i couldn’t read yet because it’s my book club’s feb botm). thank you for helping me discover some new all time favourites like the strange case of the alchemist’s daughter, the year of the witching, the house in the cerulean sea, and the library of the unwritten (which i have already reread in 2021 because it was my perfect book). hope 2021 treats you just as well! oh, and over the woodward wall had a sequel confirmed! it’s going to be a quartet and book two is coming out this year. check goodreads ☺️

I feel like 2021 is going to be the year of K. Ancrum for me. When I first heard of her books I was kind of like, meh maybe someday. But the more I hear the more I want to read them, and I think my reading tastes have also shifted a bit so I will like them more now than I would have if I read them when I first heard of them a couple years ago.
