The Library of Jurgen Leitner
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?

It's....SMALLER ON THE INSIDE?!
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!!!!






book adaptations announced for 2026-27
The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didnโt know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if youโre curious make sure to see if itโs streaming or theatre release.
P.s. Iโm including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

Underwater (Mis)Adventures
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.
