@CoverswithCassidy Месяц назад

oooh some good options here

@natasagajic1061 Месяц назад

Oooh, Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince is such a good rec! I've been meaning to try it to try to motivate myself to get back into the Realm of the Elderlings (the combo of female protagonist I really dislike, the uncharismatic pirate captain and the creepy religious kid have killed my motivation to read Realm of the Elderlings and I have been stuck mid Ship of Magic for a few years now 😅)

I'm so happy there's a storygraph challenge set up for this! It's nice to be able to see books other readers used for the prompts, in case I get stuck.

A Taste of Gold & Iron by Alexandra Rowland

@nicholemohler2918 Месяц назад

The Harp of Kings by Juliet Marillier for bards. The Orc and her Bride for orcs

@_ashleylh 4 дня назад

I THINK for small town In the Company of Witches and its sequel would count. Its a cozy mystery plus magic so it may be a comfort zone pusher for some of us lol

@debyik Месяц назад

Romantasy hard mode - Wolfsong, Winter's Orbit, and I've heard The Captive Prince and Witching Moon work as well. Blood Over Bright Haven is amazing!!

@CoverswithCassidy Месяц назад

thank you soooo much

@clamcider Месяц назад

The Captive Prince is always my go-to rec for enemies-to-lovers. You will not finish the first book believing that a romance is possible!

@_ashleylh 4 дня назад

I don't read a lot of graphic novels but I just heard of one called "The Baker and the Bard" and it seems like a cozy good time!!!

@qtleaves6830 Месяц назад

the goblin emperor for the goblin square and the principle of moments for a space opera 🥰🫶🏻

@CoverswithCassidy Месяц назад

I have read this goblin one, but it is a really good rec for others!

@PrimmsBookCave Месяц назад

a short Walk through a Wide World - fits the alliterative title hard mode. Fantastic debut City of Nightmares - for Dreams. the dreams themselves aren't magical but the magic causes normal nightmares to come alive in the real world A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet - is a short space opera and the author is queer The Tainted Cup - also Eldritch horrors not made by lovecraft

There is a bard in Juliette Marillier's newest series, the first book is called the King's Harp I think

@storiedlibrary4628 Месяц назад

Legends and Lattes for the orcs, trolls, and goblin and I dont know for sure but its sequel may work as well.

@Kristenisfullybookd Месяц назад

GGK's best books were mostly published in the 90s and he's still publishing: tigana (overhyped), a song for Arbonne (a personal fave), lions of Al-rassan (underhyped), and the sarantine mosaic duology (must be read together, trust me)

@CozyBookFantasy Месяц назад

Published in the 90s - Mercedes Lackey she just released Gryphon in Light last year.

@laurelmoyse9831 Месяц назад

For multi-POV, most of the Throne of Glass series meets HM. Book 6 does not, and I can't remember about book 2, but the rest do, even book 1 (only a couple scenes from the POVs 4-5, but still counts). For Orcs/Trolls, Danielle Jensen's Malediction Trilogy is about trolls. The female MC is human, but the love interest is a troll and he gets some POV as well. I think that should count for hard mode.

@CoverswithCassidy Месяц назад

OH GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT DANIELLE JENSEN

@timothyburbage 5 дней назад

For Orcs Goblins and Trolls I would pick Legends and Lattes or Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree. Also Battle Royale is one of my favourite books so I would really recommend it!

@CaffeinatedBookwoorm 22 дня назад

12:27 my recommendation for the pov prompt is cloud cuckoo land by Anthony doerr. So good!! Should fit hard mode as well

@yvonnemoonlightreader8464 25 дней назад

Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames would definitely work for Bard - Hard mode

Here are some recs you asked for! Romantasy hard mode: Payback's a Witch, This Gilded Abyss, 90s Kids Multi-POV: I'm reading Dracula and I think it's >5 POVs? We'll see. Published in the 90s: Something from Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman (I have Good Omens on my list) Orcs/Trolls/Goblins: Legends & Lattes, Orconomics I'm struggling most with the Dreams and Self-Pub/Indy Press square, on hard mode specifically! But I so appreciate you pointing out Wheel of Time has Bards because I will be reading book 7 for that sometime this year.

@debyik Месяц назад

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi works for Alliterationas well if you haven't read it yet.

yes it does!

@theblueiMe Месяц назад

Any danmei novels, especially books by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. They would also count for reference material, because there is always a pronunciation guide.

A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross. Main male character is a Bard.

@juliacash8135 Месяц назад

If you wanted more books with three words that start with the same letter I’ve got a few. You could read The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge, The Turn of The Screw by Henry James, or The Third Twin by Ken Follett. I hope this is helpful to have more choices for your prompt! Also if you want a book for the prompt under the surface I would suggest reading the Light at the Bottom of the world by London Shah. It’s a sci-fi about people that live under water. It’s a super good not talked about debut novel duology! I highly recommend it! For heists you should read the gilded wolves, or among thieves. I’ve read both of these and loved them! They both feature heists and are so good!

I'm still writing out my reviews for 2023. I did an all SPFBO card with 6 SPFBO9 entries and an unofficial semi, six semi finalists from various vears and nominated a 'finalist', repeated the process w/10 finalists (final 3 were SPFBO related). Learned a lot about your job as a judge doing it. Bards: Tufa Series by Alex Bledsoe (Each book stands alone and I actually recommend book 2 as a start) also HM Rural. Bardic Voices By Mercedes Lackey HM, also 90s.

@CoverswithCassidy Месяц назад

Oh that's fun

@natasagajic1061 Месяц назад

I think that a new release A Short Walk Through a Wide World should also work for the Alliterative HM square 🤔 I also think that this year's bingo board is both very fun (feels very fresh and exciting!) but also very hard. The squares that I am struggling the most are (HM) - Bards, Published in the 90s (I would have a lot of middle grade recs, but I read all of them) and Eldrich square, for which I need a non-horror, non scary rec as I stay far away from the scary stuff 😂 Also, I _would_ say Space Opera would be a hard sqaure for me, as someone who doesn't really read scifi, but I decided to pick up Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente and just hope that it _has_ to fit the prompt, with such a name 😂

@jessicah4631 Месяц назад

If your looking for a good, no smut rec for orcs troles and goblins might I suggest the hanging city by Charlie N. Holmberg.

@herbybib Месяц назад

My recommendation for Romantasy (hard mode) would be A Taste of Gold and Iron! It moves a little slowly for my tastes but the characters were really wonderful, the love story was wholesome, and its lower spice than a lot of romantasy books. Good luck!

@juliacash8135 Месяц назад

If you want a book for hard mode of orc’s and goblins you could read legends and lattes. The main character is one of those I think.

@CoverswithCassidy Месяц назад

Yes I've read this !!

@juliacash8135 Месяц назад

@@CoverswithCassidy another book that you could use for this prompt is Unnatural magic by c.m. Waggoner. The main character is a half orc and another main character is a troll. I chose this for the square for my bingo card.

I did think of thisssss it might be better then the others

@clamcider Месяц назад

A Sweet Sting of Salt is my pick for HM on the alliteration square. I put an extra "no new books" restriction on my HM board this year where I can only choose books that I owned/ordered/placed on hold at the library before checking the prompts Monday morning, and I just squeaked that one in by getting it from Aardvark before going to Reddit. I'm going to be so excited if I end up not having to swap out the book club/readalong square.

@heathersloane5764 Месяц назад

For the bard prompt, I believe the Witcher series has a character that is called a bard. Also for Orcs: I have heard Orconomics is great! It’s a slow burn, but supposed to be a really great.

Also Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & bone dust both have an orc as the main character, I’m not sure if you like low stakes fantasy but Bookshops & Bonedust is just really heartwarming and focuses on high fantasy characters doing really simple things like working on fixing up a bookstore, reading good books, and eating tasty food.

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree, Games with the Orc by Kathryn Moon - both have orcs in them and both are not something you might love but still are options if you haven't any other.

@ellena_reads Месяц назад

Here are some books I wrote down as options for my card. 🥂 Multiple POVs hard mode - books in Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne should all count. I've read the 1st, checked the chapter headers for book 2 and it definetly fits so I assume the rest do as well. Bard hard mode - Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames was recommended on reddit and probably the one I'm gonna use. Orcs, Trolls, & Goblins, Oh My! hard mode - some already mentioned in the comments so I have only The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood left to offer here. Books pub in 90s hard mode - it was a struggle but I have a few: Good Omens by Gaiman and Pratchet, Green Mile by Stephen King, Theif by Megan Whalen Turner, Green Rider by Kristen Britain and Curse of the Mistwraith by Janny Wurts. Romantasy hard mode - Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell(sci-fi), The Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard(sci-fi), Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri(fanro), Faebound by Saara El-Arifi(fanro), The Deep by Rivers Solomon(has a romance at the center of the plot, also a novella) and Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper(probably the closest to the romantasy category).
