General Fiction

A whimsical and tender character study, with a snarky interjection from an octopus sprinkled in. This story is sweet, low stakes, and a huge rec for folks who love Fredrik Backman. The audio of this is wonderful as well!

A heart breaking story about two women put in unimaginable circumstances, and how they survive in spite of it all. Check the trigger warnings on this one, it’s a gut punch.

Holy moly this is exquisite👌 a perfect blend of contemporary fantasy, and dark academia. Typically I don’t like dark academia bc it tends to be a bunch of rich college kids with their rich college kid problems BUT this is nothing like that. Go in ...
