Recs if you like The Bones Beneath My Skin...

a list of sci-fi books containing aliens

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

books from all US states and territories. asking for recommendations! these books must a) be written by an author with a strong connection to the state or territory and b) take place largely in the state or territory. i want to try to prioritize, whenever possible, underrepresented voices / voices that america’s regime tries to silence.

please lmk if any of these authors or texts aren’t good representation.

i will comment a list with each state/territory + its associated book!

All the 2025 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

Highly anticipated new releases to add to your TBR

There is queer books that have fantasy elements, and there are fantasy books with queer characters. This is a list of that first kind!

Any book that made me laugh out loud, giggle or just entertain me

Either you will feel a cozy escape or a chilling thriller. You'll be fine!..I think.

This is my personal challenge to get through the books my boyfriend bought for me as gifts. Alot of them are not really any I would personally pick out myself and makes me question if he even knows me 😂 but I figured I'd read them before he stops funding my habit. Moral support and feedback on any of these books if you have read them is highly encouraged.
