Sounds interesting! I'll have a look, thank you I find often it;s the books you read when you're younger that really stick with you.

Series:

The Daevabad series. The first book is kingdom of Brass.
Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. It's a four book series. It is pretty intense and there is some death and murder and abuse.

Graphic novels:

Motor Crush
Gideon Falls

Stand alone:

The Nightigale by Kristin Hannah (all time fave).
Night Road, Firefly lane, winter garden, the great alone by Kristin Hannah. These are sad but worth it if you're in the mood for thst.
The Vanishing Half
The House on the Cerulean Sea
My dark Vanessa (TW rape)
The once and future witches
The Nightingale sounds like my sort of book I'm adding this to my list! I love a good war book, thank you for the recommendation. I'll have a look at her others too if I like it, especially the ones you've listed.

Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass and Lyra's Oxford (very Steampunk).
A Clockwork Orange - Antony Burgess


In the last 2 months:
The Dawn of Bohemianism - George Levitine
The World of Charles and Ray Eames - Catherine Ince
Switched on: Women Who Revolutionized Style in the 60's - David Wills
J.W. Godward 1861-1922: The Eclipse of Classicism - Vern G. Swanson
Literary Knowing in Neoclassical France from Poetics to Aesthetics - Ann T. Delehanty.
The Tudors in Europe - John Matusiak
McNae's Essential Law for Journalists - Mark Hanna
Clockwork Orange is one of my favourite books! It took me a long time to read because of the complicated language, but it's written in such a clever, artistic way. Huge trigger warning for anyone who sees this and wants to read it though (rape, violence), but I agree that it's a wonderful book. Thank you for your suggestions too, I'll have a bit of a research
