When the Fit Check Doesnโt Lie
Books that are just as good as the cover promises. AKA: Fantastic book covers that also happen to be fantastic books! List will be added to in the future because I canโt leave well enough alone. (Suggestions welcome, leave it in the comments.)
Epsitolary, Ergodic, and Experimental
This list features books with nontraditional forms, structures, and narratives.
Feel free to recommend more! :)
Dark Academia except you are also a character

Books that are better physical ๐
I love books that have some unique feature that is best enjoyed as a physical book, rather than e-book or audio. An example could be that it has footnotes, appendices, non-linear storytelling, or requires frequent flipping of pages.
In this digital age, itโs fun to find books where the physical book has an advantage. Itโs also a factor I use when purchasing books at the bookstore.
Totally open to recommendations, as part of my reason for making this list is wanting to find more!
Dark Academia
yeah itโs cliche but i do like a lot of these books. both books that fit the dark academia genre and books dark academics would read.
dark academia, but make it spooky!
