This one seemed like a good fit. Our protagonist, Nobody, is being raised in a graveyard by a bunch of ghosts. So the ghosts (and one entity that is somewhere in between) are his guardians, boom! Besides, I really want to pick up this book sooner than later. Every time I add it to one of these lists or mention it, I kick myself a little for not having read it yet. I’m a big Gaiman fan and I especially love his middle grade work, so this promises to be an excellent read!

Here’s another one I’m kicking myself for having not read yet! I even mentioned it recently in a blog post. But Fitz, our main character, is a bastard son of royalty who is taken into court to train to be an assassin. I have to assume he has some type of guardian! I also assume that the relationship is going to hurt me somehow. Why? Because every time I see someone talk about a Hobb book, there are tears involved…

Liesel, our main character in this story, has been taken in by a foster family. I imagine her guardians play an important role in this story, so it totally fits the theme! This is another TBR vet that I hope to read sooner than later. It’s also another that will probably make me cry… I’m noticing a theme here. Perhaps I’m avoiding these books because I’m not ready for the pain 😅 I will get to this one soon, though!

Okay, okay, hear me out! The main character in this doesn’t have a guardian but is the guardian, desperately trying to find their daughter. Also, I just really want to read this book. It’s on my “22 books in 2022” TBR, so it’s getting read this year, come hell or high water! I’ve heard nothing but praise for this series and I want to finally know what everyone is raving about.

This is the biggest reach of the whole list 😂 But the Librarians are guardians of the Unwritten Wing, right??? Right. This is another one that I’m desperate to read because I’ve heard nothing but incredible things about it. Also, it features one of my favorite tropes: books about books! And it features a library in Hell? Sign me up, please!
