Recs if you like Sleeping Giants (Themis Files, #1)...

The SCP is an organization that Secures, Contains, and Protects our world against anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Be advised: these books contain such SCPs that have escaped confinement and have caused havoc and destruction. Read at your own peril. And remember to document your findings.

Books written in unconventional and experimental styles and formatting.

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!

A collection of mixed media and epistolary/immersive books

hard, soft, steampunk, silkpunk, spicepunk, aliens, robots, time travel, space opera, dystopian, clifi, apocalyptic, afrofuturism, slipstream, cyberpunk, and more

recommendations welcome!

Books that ignore the traditional way of telling a story. These books tell their stories in unexpected ways, through letters, transcripts, diaries, documents, text messages, or unconventional layouts.

All are very welcome to this list, but I've geared it towards my fellow neurospicy folk with busy Brains who need some high dopamine sparks from their books...and for it to not take forever for us to read a book and we lose our interest/hyperfocus 🤣🥰

Epistolary for the internet age. Told through interviews, news clips, podcasts, and transcripts.

A highly unscientific list of Fantasy and Sci-fi books where the audiobook leveled up the reading experience. I’ve either listened to them or they’ve come highly recommended. Input always welcome!

This list features books with nontraditional forms, structures, and narratives.

Feel free to recommend more! :)

First Contact with Aliens Sci-Fi Books

Epistolary delivery: Books told in the form of letters, journals, diaries, texts, logs, etc...

includes dragons, AI robots & cyborgs; any age range

Not sure what to read after Project Hail Mary? Here’s a list of sci-fi (and some sci-fantasy) books that will keep you out of a reading slump.

Unique novels with concepts unlike any other book I've ever read or heard of. Recommendations welcome!

I wish we could make communal lists, because this would be a helpful one to be able to ask others to contribute to

Books with unusual or unique formatting outside of the traditional narrative

I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2016-2020.

There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:

• Audiobook of the year
• Autobiography/Memoir
• Erotica
• Spanish
• Fantasy
• Fiction
• History/Biography
• Humor
• Horror
• Literary Fiction
• Classics
• Middle Grade
• Mystery
• Nonfiction
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Short Stories/Collections
• Thriller/Suspense
• YA/Teens
• Paranormal

Happy listening!

There are things that do not just walk upon the world—they consume it. These are the giants that the stars puked out, the ones forged in the furnace of ancient suns or birthed from the black voids of the deep. They are not 'big' in the way a mountain is big; they are 'big' in the way an apocalypse is big. To look upon them is to realize our own insignificance. They are the gears of the universe, the shadows on the moon, and the architects of our extinction. We call them ... The Colossi.
