Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis The Leaning Pile of Books

The Magicians and Mrs. Quent by Galen Beckett June 2017 Patreon Book

Since the beginning of 2016, I have been reading and reviewing one book a month based on the results of a poll on Patreon. All of these monthly reviews can be viewed here. June’s theme is fantasy of manners. It’s a subgenre that I tend to enjoy, and I’ve been in the mood to read more fantasy of manners novels lately so I scoured my shelves for books I’ve heard fit into this category. The June book selections were as follows: Crown Duel (Crown Duel/Court […]
