Do you have a YA version of Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily series or Jennifer Donnelly’s Tea Rose series? We want it. It’s a deep and longstanding passion for both of us. We can’t begin to tell you how much we LOVE historical fiction. For otherworld fantasies, we enjoy books with detailed, thought-provoking world-building, like Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Kathy MacMillan’s Sword and Verse. As a team, we’re especially drawn to fantasy that has some kind of root in the real world, like Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, or Stardust.
