Listless Monday, Courtly Intrigue Edition

*Comments on this post will go toward my Library Week challenge*
Listless Monday was inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature.  Be sure to check out their lists!

In preparing this list, I found that the longer I thought, the more books I could add. This is a very exciting book idea, with seemingly endless possibilities! But, since I could never possibly list every single book (even the ones I've read), here is a rather incomplete list, including historical fiction, fantasy, and even some faerie courts:

Courtly Intrigue

Aurelia by Anne Osterlund
The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley


Crown Duel and Court Duel by Sherwood Smith
The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima
Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
(suggested by Amy)
Fire by Kristin Cashore
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
(suggested by Amy)
Legacy by Cayla Kluver
Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris
The Poison Throne by Celine Kiernan
(suggested by Amy)
The Princess and Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison

Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner
Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix
The Stolen One by Suzanne Crowley
Trickster's Choice & Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce
(suggested by Amy)
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce (suggested by Amy)
Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr

I'd love suggestions for courtly intrigue titles as well as future Listless Monday lists (hey, I'm in need of some inspiration)!
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage

  2. Amy, great suggestions! I really need to get started on Tamora Pierce! I still haven't read any of hers. I've also been trying for a while to get my hands on The Iron King, but my libraries don't have it yet :(
