Okay so this is really random but does anyone remember the World quake bookseries. I was absolutely obsessed at 11 years old but I've just checked and the website doesn't seem to be online anymore? And it's such a shame because the personality quiz on there was second to none

So it's now been 4 years since the fourth Worldquake book was supposed to come out. I'm starting to really question whether we'll ever get it, or if it's vanished. The author is still writing other books so there's still a chance we'll get that fourth book some day

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you enjoyed Nevermoor, go and read the Worldquake Sequence. It's so good istg. It's got everything, found family, magic, dragons, book magic, fucking dragons, dnd style abilities/character things. It's one of my all time favourite books, the first one is Dragon's Green I recommend them so much

Love loses! The series I looked up was compared to Harry Potter!

Dragon's Green - Scarlett Thomas

My Goodreads Rating: 5/5 Stars

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy

Format I read it in: Audiobook narrated by Roger Allam

Thoughts: This was an absolute roller coaster. I originally listened to it because of the narration but I definitely stayed for the plot and characters

No one has a normal name and I'm living for it

The power of books

The power of friendship

Roger Allams natural snark and syrupy voice makes this novel perfect

The 11yo protagonists reading Antigone and Oedipus Rex in school lmao ("it was very sad but more importantly it was tragic")

A school for the gifted, troubled and strange

A child abuse victim standing up to his abuser

Criticism of the diet and beauty industry in a children's book hell yeah

There's no ethical consumption of princesses under capitalism

A teacher doing a drug test with a student be cause she suddenly got good a tennis

"tennis court three is haunted"

Modern technology? No what about just using modems and pagers again

The Dim Web (it's the dark web but for magic lmao)

Three royal babies and a prime minister mentioned a cryptids alongside Nessie and Bigfoot

The concept of last readers is pretty cool

Roger Allam could read me the Yellow Pages and I'd be hooked tbh

Book recommendations

The Worldquake series by Scarlett Thomas (book one: Dragons Green, book two: Chosen Ones, book three: Galoglass) and The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas (book one: Magic Thief, book two: Lost, book three: Found, book four: Home (there's also a short story that's only available via ebook))

Both Fandoms are very small and they really deserve more love

I saw that you're in the Worldquake Fandom and wanted to say hi (Hi!) It's so incredibly wonderful to find someone else who's read Worldquake!

Btw have you heard anything about the 4th book? The last thing I heard was that it was coming out in April 2020

First, HI! Sorry my reply took ages I've been without a phone on annual camp for the ACF

Second, fourth book!? I never heard anything about that! I'd love a fourth book, that series took over my life its one of my favourite books!

I'm so happy someone else knows this series!
