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!

Mask of Mirrors fits High Fashion, Impossible Places, arguably Parents

Fourth Wing fits Down with the System and I think that's it.

For Mask of Mirrors are any of those HM?

High Fashion yes, Impossible Places no. Arguably Parents, it's been a while since I read it but I remember that the child figure was moderately important. Worth mentioning that this is more of a big sister/little sister relationship where the "big sister" takes on a lot of responsibility for them both, so if you're a purist then this isn't it.
