Wyrd and Wonder: Twin Peaks

Published on May 23, 2024May 1, 2024 by Celeste15 Comments

After indulging at the Fountain of Youth, my next stop is the Wyrd and Wonder Twin Peaks. This destination is all about featuring duologies. While I haven’t read that many duologies, I do love the relative brevity of them. That is, I love that I don’t have to commit to 3+ books in a series. Lately I’ve been avoiding longer series so that I can (try to) focus on my physical backlog. A description really has to grab me to start a new series.

So, with that said, let’s take a look at some duologies I enjoyed, need to finish, or want to read. The “want to read” section focuses on completed duologies.

After mucking around in the Icy Waters of Waiting for the Next Book, I decided it was time to say goodbye. Next up is the Wyrd and Wonder Fountain of Youth! While on this conglomerate of islands I’ll mention some books that feature immortal characters. Thinking back on what I’ve read, I suppose I’ve read a fair amount that fall into this category.

After stopping at Reaching Fingers, it’s now time for my Wyrd and Wonder journey to the Icy Waters of Waiting for the Next Book. In other words, I’m going to feature a series that I feel just isn’t being written fast enough. If you’re a long time follower of my blog or Instagram, then you’ll probably be able to guess my top answer to this.

Drum roll, please…

Wyrd and Wonder: Reaching Fingers

Published on May 15, 2024April 30, 2024 by Celeste13 Comments

After stopping at the Bite Sized Islands, I decided my next jaunt would be to the Wyrd and Wonder Reaching Fingers. Reaching Fingers is where I’ll happily share some upcoming titles that I’m eager to get my hands on. I already have a list of anticipated second quarter book releases. But here at Wyrd and Wonder Reaching Fingers I’ll include some from that list and look farther into the future for upcoming fantasy books. This, of course, isn’t an exhaustive list, but consists of books I’m really looking forward to. That means there’s a higher chance I’ll actually read them.
