Recs if you like Whalefall...

As you turn the first page, a wave of dread consumes you. You see a library ticket at the front; 'The Library of Jurgen Leitner'. Who is this man? And why does this book seem to have such a horrible effect on your mind, your body, the world?

(For The Magnus Archives enthusiasts. Suggestions welcome though I may be a bit picky 🤓)

for people who are both terrified of and fascinated by the ocean (like me)

…are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?

or, books with similar vibes as the game subnautica

survival stories, often but not always set in extreme locations or climates.

if you like tma, some are just vibes, some actual entities

Tight spaces. Heavy air. The creeping realization that escape may not be possible. These are stories designed to make you feel trapped.

Recs welcome!

Books with short chapters!!! I started a challenge where I read a super long book a chapter-a-day and annotate it using a study guide! I found that annotating short chapters is super accessible and not overwhelming at all for me, so I wanted to share this list with anyone that wants to start over-analyzing their books :) I included a variety of stories because HOW you read is as important (if not more) than WHAT you read!!!!

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release.

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

...or the shallow. But either way, don't go near the water.

Aquatic horror

Life began underwater. Humans yearn to go back, and sometimes, they really shouldn't... A crowd-sourced list of stories that take place primarily underwater.

Whether by lake, sea, or ocean these stories will have you questioning whether it's safe to go into the water.
