Day 30 - Save Harbour
And here we are, already at the end of the month. Wyrd & Wonder is always to short!
Today's prompt is favourite read, and I had so many good reads this month!
Hard to choose even 3, but if I really have to, I'll go with Sword of Kaigen.

Cover of the first book of the Temeraire series: His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 30 - Port Town
There's quite some traveling to be done in this series, on dragon, on ship, or sometimes dragon on a ship...
I absolutely love the dragons and exploring the (alternate history) world of the Napoleonic Wars.

Black Water Sister and Sorcerer to the Crown, both books by Zen Cho
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 29 - Deep dive
Zen Cho manages to teleport you directly to the places in her books.
Be it a historical England, or modern day Malaysia.
I loved both of these a lot!

Where Loyalties Lie and Fifth Empire of Man by Rob J. Hayes
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 28 - Pirates!
I've still not read the sequel (as no audiobook sadly) but the first was amazing & definitely deserved winning SPFBO!
A gritty, grimdark pirate adventure where betrayal sails as fast as the ships & loyalty is the rarest treasure of all.

Book cover Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant, decorated with skeletons
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 27 - Sea monsters
I adore how the mermaids in this one aren't nice fairytale creatures, but scientific horrors from the deep. Or rather not so much horrors, just beings very different from us, looking for lunch. Which is not healthy for said lunch...

Day 25 Sea dog Peg Leg - Favourite fantastical captains & crew mates
A swashbuckling gem, equal parts heart, humor, & flying adventure.
Found family at its finest: imperfect, inclusive, unwaveringly supportive.
Witty banter, flipped tropes, & just the right mix of cozy & chaotic.

To Shape A Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 24 - St Elmo's fire (Fantastical phenomena with scientific explanations)
This blends fantasy with fierce truths about colonization, identity, and resistance. Nuanced, necessary, and impossible to put down.
And the magic is chemistry based!

#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 23 - Standalone isle
Gritty, sharp & full of heart.
An older, injured warrior woman on a brutal mission of vengeance? Yes, please.
She’s smart, relentless, and not above playing dirty to get the job done.

Kraken Rider Z by Dyrk Ashton, decorated with a plush kraken
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 21 - Kraken
What would be a better choice for this prompt than a whole series about a kraken & his rider?
Progression fantasy with awesome friendships, plenty of action, adventure, cool fights & characters I love.
@undyrk.bsky.social did it again!

Cover of Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch Two ships on high waves
Different cover for Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch with a burning ship on it
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 20 Cover art: Tall ships
Just book two of this series has ships, but look at those!
Aside from the sea, this also has plenty of banter & adventure along with action & mystery.

#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 19 Albatross Superstitions, folklore & curses
Not only is there a pretty sea all around the island, there's also a lot of stupid superstitions & prejudices, as well as a Lucifer junior... Warm, inclusive, funny, charming & on point on society today.

Beach reads - What will you be reading this summer?
I'm not the beach type of person (give me snow over heat!) but I really hope to get around to this one this summer. It's been on my radar for ages!
I mean, just look at that cover alone...

How about ships made from the bones of giant sea dragons?
A stunning blend of high-stakes adventure, rich world-building, and unforgettable characters.

Day 14 - Watery women
An SPFBO read I expected to DNF, but instead devoured.
Regency times, fine lady joins Navy to avoid unpleasant choices for her life. A woman. In the Navy. The scandal!
Pirates & fireballs.

#WyrdAndWonder25

Cover art: Beneath the waves
Aside from the super cool kraken cover, this also has an amazing older female main character, swashbuckling adventuren, a non western setting, banter galore and it's just a great overall package.

Silent City / Nothing is ever Simple / Three Times the Trouble by G R Matthews
Corin Hayes Omnibus - Books 1-3 by G R Matthews And Galli, a black dog with wild fluffy hair
#WyrdAndWonder25
Day 12 - Deep Ones
Underwater societies you say? How could I not jump to share my favourite series of snarky, quick and fun novellas?
Humanity has moved into domes under the sea, and Corin stumbles from one disaster into the next, drinking and cursing along...

How about pirates in The Vengeance by @emmanewman.bsky.social ?
Historical fantasy, swashbuckling ladies, sapphic romance and maybe even vampires, with that series title...

Day 10 Bite-Sized Island
A novella set in the Riven Wyrde world by @grahamaustinking.bsky.social !
I would recommend reading this after the main series, as it will hit harder of you already know Klöss, the main character.
