Oh to read these books for the first time again…

Wait, you HAVENT READ THESE BOOKS???? Do you wanna trade brains so I can read these for the first time again? pls

🦊 The Ballad of Never After: This series is my favorite fantasy world to date. It’s whimsical, and the characters are just SO fun and the MMC is my fav (aka sassy grumpy king).

🧚‍♀️ Never: no guys this is serious. No one talks about this book and it shook me to my core. There is SO MUCH to pick apart and so much foreshadowing and details you miss the first time. A crazy good retelling of Peter Pan.

🕊️ The Seven Year Slip: Magical realism that involves time travel? Sign me up rn. The plot was 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

👠Magnolia Parks: The same author who wrote “Never” created the characters in the Magnolia Parks series and expected everyone to just be chill about it. These characters feel REAL to me. What I would give to read these without knowing what comes in the next chapter.

Have you read any of these?? Do you feel the same way?
