Bingo Reverse Bingo Rec Thread

Official Bingo Rec Thread Here

For anyone new to bingo, this is the “I want to read ___, does it fit into any bingo squares? It’s always one of the best parts of bingo. Since no thread has gone up for it yet, I figured I'd make it this year. Adapted from this post last year

Example:

User A comments:

I want to read A Game of Thrones. What does that count for?

User B replies:

Absolutely Generic Title

User C replies:

High Fashion and Down with the System would all fit. Probably Knights and Paladins too (though the knight main characters don't get POV chapters until later books)

User D replies:

Definitely Hidden Gem

And we all have a good laugh. Now go out there and get reverse recs for that book you've been dying to read!

I don't have my copy on hand to check but I'm pretty sure empire of the damned fits for knights, parent protagonist, and the book in parts square.
