@VictoriaMAdams @bookstodon that is a wonderful book list.
If you're open to #middlegradelit #fantasy you might like A Wish in the Dark (Les Mis, but kids in a Thailand with magic)
If you're open to #YA fantasy, books that I've enjoyed in the past year from that genre are Six of Crow (heist) and the Folk of the Air series (fairy politics)
If you're open to classics, Middlemarch and The Woman in White would be right up your alley. -

I'd be here for a spinoff following the adventures of the neurotic over-achieving daughter, who sets off on a road trip in 80s America during which she plays in a post-punk band, invents the internet and averts nuclear war a few times. Later she trains a large language model on recordings of her mother's comedy act. The resulting AI starts WW3.
