Is it just me, or is it hard to find novels that are different compared to each other without the variety of them having to be a mystery/crime, and romance/fantasy?

I’ve been reading the Gunnie Rose series by Charlaine Harris. It’s an alternate Earth taking place in the country of Texoma where FDR was assassinated before he was sworn in and the USA broke apart. Again, quite good. I also recently read her Midnight Crossroads, which was a lot of fun in a darker way.

No. I just read The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. Classifies as fantasy, but not romantasy like the fad seems to be now Takes place in Spain during the reign of King Philip and the time of the Inquisition. Quite good.

I’ve been reading The Apothecary Diaries series by Natsu Hyuuga with Book 5 on pre-order. Takes place in a fictional country similar China during the time of the emperors, probably 17th century. Again, quite good.

Did you know God exists? 900+ answers later and no atheist has yet to be successful. Day 8 of asking Atheists to provide a SINGLE argument that demonstrates a cause for the beginning of the universe while avoiding the problem of infinite regression.
