📚 Today's #DecRecs:

'The Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking' by T Kingfisher. Delightful for older kids, YA and adults, it isn't taking over BookTok, but it should be!

A teenage baker and her animated gingerbread sidekick try and save the town, and are a bit pissed off that the people in charge let it get this bad.

T Kingfisher is wonderful, I also rec the Paladin series - three lovely gentle romances with lots of beheadings.

Today’s #DecRecs is Every Man Dies Alone by #HansFallada. It’s a book about a German couple taking a stand against the Nazis in their own way, despite the danger it posed to them. Although this book doesn’t have a fairy tale ending, it reinforces (for me, at least) the importance of doing the right thing in the face evil even if your friends and neighbors are not.

While everyone is (understandably) reading Trees, Percival Everett has a lot of other great books out there. So today’s #DecRecs is one of his older books, Wounded, which touches on lgbqtia+ and race in sparsely populated Wyoming, and told through Everett’s characteristically strong writing.

I’m going to jump on the #DecRecs train and recommend some (what I feel are under appreciated) books this month.

First up is a gem I read last month: Leonard and Hungry Paul by Rónán Hession. This is a quiet, funny, and understated book about a pair of quiet, yet delightful, friends.

“You may wish to note the above.”

Okay, let's see how far I can get with a book recommendation a day for December. Let's start with Juniper Wiles by Charles de Lint. This would make a good introduction to his work if you're new to his books, and it's a treat for established readers. It promises to be the start of an entertaining new sequence too.
