I recently started to work at the American Red Cross collecting blood donations from those generous enough to donate their time to saving lives with their blood. We are currently in a national blood crisis and are very short ln blood! 62% of people can medically give blood, but only about 3% of people do! So in honor of those people who are donating to help others I have been asking everyone who comes in with a book what their favorite book is! Ill keep adding to the list as I get more fav books

Pentiment is a visual novel done in the captivating style of illuminated manuscripts. Set in the 16th century German village of Tassing and the nearby monastery, it's about an artist charged with solving a murder. It touches on faith, the occult, class conflict, the weight of our decisions, and much more

This is a combination of books recommended by Josh Sawyer and fans as dealing with similar themes to, providing historical context about, or having similar overall vibes to the game Pentiment

Rather than a TBR I like to have a list of menu options
