Recs if you like The Hike...

Horror (and thriller) books about summer camp, camping, summer holidays and just general summer vibes

Books where the main characters have to travel a seemingly long distance to achieve their goals/quests. Travel is not exclusive to walking, this list also includes long distance travel by car, boat, train, and even spaceship!

As always, open to suggestions! 🙂🤠

Short-ish (& sometimes spicy) standalone speculative stories.

Stories that follow the New Weird genre. Adventures that mix reality with fantasy, horror, science fiction, and literary fiction. Each a distinct and unique story to envelope your mind.

The horrors that haunt the woods

Botanical horror is great and all, but have you ever thought about all the horrors scuttling beneath the leaves?

Horror that features bugs (insects and arachnids - argue about whether shellfish should be involved in the comments) as a major antagonist.

Stress relief through easy reads & humor

Includes but not limited to: fluff, comedy, cozy/comfort, banter, plain-ol’-laughs, fun-no-plot, ridiculousness (writing ranging from okay to fantastic but they’re all worth it)

Can’t be bothered with the world or seriousness? Need a break for your brain and soul? Rest here & treat yourself!

[please REC other helpful prescriptions - ⭐️ bonus if queer ] - thank you fellow pharmacy volunteers 🙏🏻

Mostly: adult-audience fiction, some YA & youth titles often appreciated by all ages.

"Sob sob sob life as a fish was much too hard"

weird girl lit

Horror recs about scientists or with good sciency vibes, that aren't all just space horror. Comment suggestions!

sff that starts out somewhat normal... until it isn't. for when you want to look around on page 300 and wonder "how the hell did we get here??"

A Reading List for the Chronically Unserious

Books about journeys and quests taken on foot to read while on the treadmill.

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!
