Books I can't stop recommending to everyone (Fiction edition)
29
items This list includes a variety of genres, but they all have this in common - I LOVED them and can't stop recommending them! I've mostly linked to bookshop.org because I love that they support indie bookshops. If I've included an Amazon link, it's because I couldn't find it available at bookshop.org.

Stunning, lyrical prose, love story for the ages that subverts traditional gender norms, and a timely warning about the dangers of propaganda and who benefits from war.
The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow, Hardcover
Beautiful prose, an unique magic system, and not your stereotypical depiction of Faerie/Fae. It feels like falling into a fairytale ballad. Loved the depiction of the sisters' relationship. Bonus - it's fairly short and is perfect for getting out of ...
The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar
This is the start to an incredible science fiction series that is both non-stop plot/action and incredibly character driven at the same time. There's enough science to make the story believable and keep you immersed in the world, but never enough to ...

The Expanse Hardcover Boxed Set: Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War, Abaddon's Gate: Now a Prime Original Series
A psycho-sexual fever dream that I couldn't put down. A lady knight in shining armor, a "madwoman" outcast nun, and a desperate and determined young woman with a mysterious past end up working (mostly) together when a bunch of “Saints” suddenly appea...
The Starving Saints: A Novel
T. Kingfisher writes practical, funny older female characters that I can't get enough of. Things I loved in this story - detailed descriptions through the eyes of a painter, questions about what truly makes a monster, and descriptions of bugs that mi...
Wolf Worm
A sapphic love story happening in the context of being a woman in STEM in the 80s. The science part is less jargon and more "look at how freaking amazing our world is".
Atmosphere: A Love Story
Urban fantasy set in modern day Chicago. Lots of Slavic folklore, atmospheric writing, and themes of found family and redemption.
When Among Crows
The sequel to When Among Crows. I might like it even better than the first book.
To Clutch a Razor
What happens when a god dies but all his (hot, hunky, and somehow still wholesome) paladins are left behind? Each book in this series follows one of the paladins left behind as they try to find their place in a world without their god, and of course,...

The Second Death of Locke
Listen, I DO NOT care about sports! But this book somehow had me on the edge of my seat about a fictional tennis match - the writing is that good. Ultimately, this is a character driven book and a look at what it takes to be exceptional at something,...
