Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Likening time to the face of the earth is very clever. I am intrigued! WRINKLE IN TIME vibes. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This makes me think Lloyd Alexander in the best way. What an exciting opening premise... Rolling back the sun... 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh I am so into this! Magic and real world problems is always a fun mix. 110

Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026These types of books are so helpful for these important and difficult conversations with our children. Thank you. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sounds like some great sister bonding! 😈 Love the name Graves, too. 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This us a fascinating premise!! I'd be really excited to read about this world; and toppling it. 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I am very intrigued by the complex dynamics and potential for political machinations here! 100
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Way cool! Love the fantasy mixed with influencer culture - lots of potential for fresh takes. 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I love THIS premise! What a fun, empowering, and spooky hook! 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The bit about falling for the boy she replaced juxtaposed with the world portalling is a cool angle! 100
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This sounds so cute and spooky!!! I'd love to read this to my kids around Halloween. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This sounds like such a cool story! Have you read SEPTEMBER HOUSE? MIght be a good comp. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Memo can handle inner demons; but what’s a life coach to do if the demons are real? When it turns out his new client's manor is haunted by the bitter ghosts of a centuries-long clan war, this life coach must coach for the dead. THE BURNING CROWS OF MCDOWELL MANOR (85k) #DVpit #A #H #DIS #CI 521
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Sounds like a good read - does the ending feel satisfying? Are the characters ultimately likeable or at least compelling? 000
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I love the movie too, but I liked how the characters were difficult and hard edged in the book. They needed each other that way, and they smoothed each other out with the friction of their contact. Collin needed a nasty Mary, and Mary became kind by helping Collin. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 09/08/2026One of my favorite books ever. I love how these broken people found healing in each other. 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 09/08/2026ME: Time to reread one of my favorite heartwarming books from my childhood with my 4yo THE BOOK: Chapter 1 - Lonely little girl is sole survivor of a cholera epidemic because no one loved her enough to check on her. MY 4 YO: What? 000
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Isotope soap is the real reason the fae are so wack. 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026It's so amazingly sad and then so fulfilling. All the suffering in that story had a payoff in the later pages, and despite the tragedy, it managed to be uplifting overall. What a book. 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I want to read a book with a ghost story that builds on tragedy in the way that HOLES by Louis Sachar does - with purpose, closure, and a deeply satisfying conclusion. Help? #BookSky 061
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I had to read this post three times because I just kept seeing "The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" and being confused why you listed it twice 😆 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The Seven Husbands vs Deaths issue has gotten me into so many confusing conversations!! 000
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The tension was constant! I could not put it down. What a unique premise, too, and I love how the protagonist came to appreciate each host throughout the day. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I think I might have heard of this - is it based on a true story? 100
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026What made this dystopian romantasy stand out to you? 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026THE SEVEN AND A HALF DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE by Stuart Turton blew my mind so far that I woke up in my husband’s body yesterday. #MicroReview #BookSky 030
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Ahhh I see! I appreciate that because the mc is both a mother and a daughter, we sort of see both ends from a family perspective--but you're right we don't get a child's perspective, which would have been cool contrast, e.g. adults recognize the horror, while kids are blinded by the wonder. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Thank you for the info! I'm wondering less about mechanics and more about Travis' personality? I've seen a couple unique takes on Death. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I get that the climax happening off-screen and without the MC could be disappointing, but I think it made a powerful point about healing their family. For once, the MC could rest, because her mom (who was also a victim of intergenerational trauma) finally stepped up and took responsibility. 110
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026If you haven't read Terry Pratchett yet: Do you like Phantom of the Opera? Try MASKERADE. If you're into dragons, try GUARDS! GUARDS! Ancient Egypt? PYRAMIDS. All have a healthy dose of fantasy, philosophy, and humor. Happy reading! 000
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Is this Death at like Death of Discworld or Death from The Book Thief? 100
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026DARLING GIRL by Liz Michalski saw your villain redemption arc and raised you a grandma redemption arc. #MicroReview #BookSky 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I get that... chronic pain is depressing enough on its own! I don't know if it aligns with your vision, but maybe if you did something like HOLES by Louis Sachar somehow, where the misery builds a foundation for purpose and healing. I don't mind a dark read if there's satisfaction and/or hope. 120
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 27/07/2026As someone with chronic pain who loves mermaids, #1 SOUNDS AWESOME 121
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 26/07/2026"Roses?! EW! Give me some bugs and vultures!" T. Kingfisher, when she was dreaming up A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES, probably. #MicroReview #BookSky 040
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I cannot get over how clever the title and tagline are! 010
Zoe Navas @magicbookworm.bsky.social · 22/07/2026On the one hand, REBECCA by Daphne du Maurier has beautiful prose and a satisfying conclusion. On the other, it made me think "would someone please just burn this whole awful house down?", and there wasn't even any evil fungus. #MicroReview #BookSky 050
