Recs if you like In an Absent Dream...

as we approach the end of the year, i thought of compiling a collection of short audiobooks for anyone trying to sneak more books onto their read list or for those trying to complete reading challenges! best of luck! 🌟

A list for books based on the works of other writers (or: authors copying each other’s homework 🙂‍↕️). Suggestions welcome!

Novellas that are a decent bite of literature and a full meal despite being compact. Like a burrito on a commute to work. AKA my full novella master list

Somebody asked for a list based on the recs folks gave on my pagebound club post, so this is that! (Plus i dumped a bunch of my faves & tbr in)

Books with Goblins, like, actually goblin mode.

books with doors (of any kind) that open to unexpected places

What it says on the tin. I've heard truly excellent things about all of these, so maybe give them a try if you haven't yet?

Books that are short but impactful. Some of these I read years ago and still think about unprompted sometimes. (I tried to keep these below 250 pages)

Please feel free to recommend your own favourites in the comments! ^^

Idk how they (birds) found me, but everywhere I've gone since i found Mail Order Wings in an elementary school classroom library I've been followed by human-avian hybrid body horror themes in books ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Because there are so many now and I am very confused every time which one to read next !

Horror (and horror adjacent) books with weird/creepy kids and teenagers

All the Wayward Children books so far
