The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks, Fantasy
I read this when I was in my 20s and wanted to read it again from my current perspective. It’s a fantasy that is much like The Hobbit and LOTR books but with its own wonderful characters and storyline. There are a zillion books in this series 🙂
“The Sword of the Shannara follows Shea Ohmsford, a half-elfin who lives in a peaceful land. One day Allanon, a stranger tells Shea that he is the heir of Shannara and the only one who can defeat the Warlock Lord with a powerful sword. Along the way, Shea meets new friends as he goes on his journey to find the sword.”

“Daughter of Fire” by Sofia Robleda, Historical Fiction
I’m only a couple of chapters in on this one but I’m loving it!
“For a young woman coming of age in sixteenth-century Guatemala, safeguarding her people’s legacy is a dangerous pursuit in a mystical, empowering, and richly imagined historical novel.
Catalina Cerrato is raised by her widowed father, Don Alonso, in 1551 Guatemala, scarcely thirty years since the Spanish invasion. A ruling member of the oppressive Spanish hierarchy, Don Alonso holds sway over the newly relegated lower class of Indigenous communities. Fiercely independent, Catalina struggles to honor her father and her late mother, a Maya noblewoman to whom Catalina made a vow that only she can preserve the lost sacred text of the Popol Vuh, the treasured and now forbidden history of the K’iche people…”
