Quick Fire Fantasy Book Tag #wyrdandwonder

I’ve seen some good fantasy tags floating around and although I don’t do book tags that often, some of these look fun! So I’m jumping in today with the Quick Fire Fantasy Book Tag which I saw on both  Zee Zee With Books and Lisa at Way Too Fantasy’s blogs. This tag was originally created by The Bookworm Dreamer. Let’s get started!

5 Star Book:

This is one of my most recent five-star reads, and I’m glad I have another chance to shout about it. You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce was dark and magical and completely unique. You can read my review here. (UK vs. US covers shown above)

Always going to Recommend:

This sparkling fantasy series is SO underrated, and I wish more readers would take a chance on it. The Girl with Ghost Eyes and The Girl with no Face by M.H. Boroson are two of my favorite books ever. If you love stories that revolve around Chinese mythology, humor and exciting action, you don’t want to miss this series.

Own it but haven’t read it yet:

I had some vague idea that I might be able to read Jade City and Jade War by Fonda Lee this month for Wyrd & Wonder, but jeez the month is almost half over! In any case, they are near the top of my “catch up” list.

Would read again:

I loved Middlegame by Seanan McGuire so much! It’s complex and jumps around in time and has some amazing characters. It’s one of those books that I feel like I’d get more out of with multiple readings. One of these days!

In Another World:

Epic fantasy set in fictional worlds isn’t anything unusual, but I personally can’t seem to get enough of the Heartwyld and the characters I’ve grown to love in Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose, the first two books in Nicholas Eames’  The Band series. I know there are a zillion books that I could have mentioned for this prompt, but honestly, these were the first to come to mind.

Back on Earth:

Rod Belcher’s Brotherhood of the Wheel series takes place on the highways that crisscross the United States, which places it firmly in the “Back on Earth” category. Obviously, I can’t talk about fantasy without mentioning Rod Belcher, so here we are! This urban fantasy series is well written and actually pretty terrifying in spots. Right now there are two books in the series, The Brotherhood of the Wheel and King of the Road, but I’m pretty sure he’s working on a third book.


I invite anyone who is interested to join me in this tag! Let me know if you’ve read any of these books:-D

  1. I really enjoyed The Brotherhood of the Wheel, and ever since I’ve wanted to try another book/series by Rod Belcher. Which would you recommend be my next read by him?

    • Tammy

      I would say King of the Road is a lot of fun, also Nightwise and The Night Dahlia are excellent too!

  2. I’m similar with the Fonda Lee books!
    The sample has been sitting on my Kindle for a while but I didn’t get to it yet. I’ve seen some really exciting reviews recently though so I gotta finally try it!

    • Tammy

      Just about every review I’ve seen for Jade City has been 5 stars so I’m super excited to read it:-)

    • Tammy

      You’re one of the few bloggers I know that’s read the Daoshi books. I can’t wait for the next one!

    • Tammy

      I’m so glad to hear that! I adored it, it’s one of my favorite books this year. Can’t wait to read your review

  3. I should be reading You Let Me In soon, and I’m looking forward to it, since you enjoyed it so much. 😀 I’m glad to see you love The Girl With Ghost Eyes! I’ve seen the book around and was really on the fence about whether or not to read it, but you’ve convinced me. Definitely gonna pick that one up, then.

    I would like to point out that the month is NOT almost half over, thank you very much. It’s a third. Which is considerably smaller than a half, and you can’t convince me otherwise, because I’m not prepared for May to zip past as quickly as April did, thank you very much. xD
