✨Time Travel✨
A collection of books that explore time travel in all its forms; from romance and second chances to sci-fi adventures and shifting timelines.
Death didn't end it
Some debts don't clear at death. Some loves don't end with a body. Some enemies are patient enough to wait for your next life. 💀 These books take the premise literally - the soul has a history, and that history is not done with you. Whether you're born again into the same war, haunted by a love you can't name but somehow recognize, or hunted by something ancient that has been counting the lives between then and now, the past in these novels is not past. ‼️

I’m not cry… Oh for FOX sake 😮💨🦊
Stories that might make you cry (I mean, are you made of stone? No) and also feature a fox (or is from the POV of a dog because that one book made me howl). If you’re thinking Disney’s Hound & Fox, then yeah. That’s kinda the vibe here - we’re shedding tears but make it adorable👌🏼✨
Suggestions welcome! 🙏🏽😇
The dead don't stay dead
Novels about life after death: zombies, ghosts, after life, and reincarnation.
