Welcome to this week’s Weekly Thread! This time around, our topic is:

What Books Live Up to the Hype?

Whether you heard about it from BookTok, a trusted friend, or a Buzzfeed listicle, what book lived up to or even surpassed the hype surround it?

For me, it would have to be Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. Reddit was crazy about this book, so I gave it a try and absolutely loved it. I now have a Medieval Horror itch that I keep trying to scratch.

What about you?

    100% agree. Read it a couple years ago and haven’t found anything as complex/well written. Between two fires was a close 2nd.
