The three covers I made for Jo Graham's The Calpurnian Wars series, published by Candlemark & Gleam. It's been an honour and a joy to work on these and bring Jo's characters to life.

Choosing Kindness Book Recs

I’m been thinking about stories and the types of things I like to read.  I usually think in terms of genre, I love fantasy and space opera and very specific types of romance to name a few.  But one type of story I really gravitate to isn’t tied to genre at all (though most of my examples are fantasy).  I love stories about genuinly good people doing their best to make the world a better place.  Now that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy stories about anti-heroes, rogues or very flawed characters, I do.  But there is a very unique flavor to these stories despite wildly different settings so thought I’d make a list of these types of stories.  Characters who, when given a choice, choose kindness.  I’ll add more as I think of them but please feel free to add on to this list with your own recs.

The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane  Book 1: So You Want to Be A Wizard 

All the Heralds of Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey  Book 1: Arrows of the Queen

The Order of the Air by Melissa Scott and Jo Graham  Book 1: Lost Things

Stealing Fire by Jo Graham (I don’t know if this trait carries over to the rest of the Numinous World books, I only just started reading the series, but Lydias is such a great character.  There are so many moments were he could be selfish or cruel and the world he lives in would excuse or even encourage it but he chooses kindness instead.)

Books Read In 2021: Black Ships by Jo Graham

“I want to know everything. I want to know how the clouds move and why islands fall into the sea. I want to know how to plant almond trees and how to make children grow up straight and healthy. I want to know how princes should govern and why people love. I want to understand the stars in the heavens and all the words that were ever made. I want to remember every story that was ever told.”

All your Egypt posts made me think of these historical fiction books I read a while ago. Jo Graham's Numinous World books. It's not a series; if you squint and tilt your head just right, the same handful of characters are reincarnated into different people through these stories; I never looked that hard at them. I've read a few, and I found the author from when I used to read her Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic on LJ a million years ago! Check them out if you want! 1-3 are ancient world.

Ooh, that sounds really interesting, I will definitely have to look those up! Very much in line with other things that have been on my mind lately. Thank you for the recommendation!
