TBR lists tell you a lot about yourself. Sadly,
this list tells me that I still quite often judge books by their
covers. (This tendency will almost certainly be the topic of later discussion
here at Mad But Magic.) As I have yet to really read any of the next ten books I can
only vouch for their sparkling potential, and give you a glimpse into my book selection MO. Let’s plunge ahead!
1. Deborah Harkness, Shadow
of Night. The second book in the All Souls trilogy, and the only book in
this list I’ve actually started reading. Witch meets vampire meets history of science meets magic meets FEELINGS.
Why did I pick it up? Because the author is a respected historian who studies the history of magic and science. So pleased to discover that was a thing, a thing one could study (why am I in law school again?) that I simply had to pick up the first book in the trilogy – A Discovery of Witches – and after falling into Diana and Matthew’s world I had to join them on their next adventure.
In sum: HISTORY IS VERY SERIOUS.*
