From Gabriella's April 2022 FWYS Shelf
I really enjoyed the House of Comarré by Kristen Painter so I chose it as well as Magisterium by Holly Black

[Suzanne]

Danielle, for you I'm picking:
Familiar Mates and
Alien Blood Wars

[Jennifer]

DL, I'm picking Little House and Westmorelands for you.

Little House is in part because I just read Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated so it's been on my radar.

Enjoy!

[Oleander]

Hi Karen♐
I'm Choosing Beneath and the Stark Saga for you. Happy Reading!

[Gabby]

Theo I choose for you Mercy Thompson and Heartstoppers because you really really need to know what happens next! It is an amazing series that I loved.

Thank you Ezi I think this will be the boot I need to finally finish this. I read Forbidden Blood ages ago but keep getting distracted before starting the main series.

[Bobbi]

Hi Ezi,

I chose the Compass series and the Luke Brother series for you. I haven't read either, but the plot synopses looked interesting.
