@neauoire I read to my 8yo at bedtime and highly appreciate any thing that's fun and interesting for both of us. We both loved @catvalente's Fairyland series and Chris Riddell's Ottoline and Goth Girl series. Excellent read aloud books.
@catvalente has written many wonderful adult books as well.
Now I'm going to look through the book list you gave and add to my ever growing to-read list.
