Today's guest post over at The Hermit Librarian (is that not a great blog title or what?!?!) asked for me to list my top 5 reads, but honestly... how could I choose?

 

Instead, I chose five debuts I'd read over the past year which were memorable and which fell into different categories. I hope you'll click through and read on, maybe add a few new options to your TBR! 

 

[clicky] Top 5 Reads @ The Hermit Librarian

 

Happy reading!

 

When Book Blitz asked me for a post on the world-building of Cinderella, Necromancer, I was a little unsure how to manage that... did you want to read pages and pages of German medieval history? I mean, maybe that's your thing, I shouldn't assume. 

 

So instead of list a bunch of facts, I focused instead of how I approached the world building, from the historical side versus the fairy-tale side.

 

Hopefully the aspiring writers out there who are reading this will find it helpful!

 

 

Enjoy!

 

In my defense, these ten things are probably rather apparent if you've either:

 

a) gone to school with me

b) follow my Instagram account 

c) know me in real life

 

...but I'm assuming that most of you don't, so... I warn you in advance, things get weird.
