floral covers
that specific kind of book with all the pretty but unsettling florals
0
Much Ado About Shrooms
Cozy, Horror, Mystery, Adventure, Romance. As long as the book has shrooms as a major plot point, there is a place for it in this list.

Au/DHD(coded) Fiction for Adults
My favourite fiction books with officially autistic and/or ADHD, or autistic and/or ADHD coded characters. Will only put first books for a series. Will add YA if I feel it's enjoyable for adults who don't read much or any YA. "Non official" neurodivergence means we are interpreting, which is always subjective. Criticism can be left in the comments. If you want to recommend a book, you're also welcome to do so in a comment. I will update this list as more favourites come up :)

Cottagecore: Cottages, Forests & Retellings
Want to start a life in the cottage, escape from the horror of life and tuck into your corner in the world? Just remember, this could be a cozy corner OR it could be just the opposite of that...

When the Fit Check Doesn’t Lie
Books that are just as good as the cover promises. AKA: Fantastic book covers that also happen to be fantastic books! List will be added to in the future because I can’t leave well enough alone. (Suggestions welcome, leave it in the comments.)

Leave me buried in the woods.
Books that make me miss the woods-or make me feel trapped by it.

Moody, Destructive Devotion 🥀
Healthy, mutually respectful relationships. JK, picture the exact opposite of that and then throw in three cups of lyrical, haunting bleakness.

Narrated by Michael Crouch 🔊
I have a favourite audiobook narrator, and it is one Michael Crouch! I'm constantly checking out books just because he's the narrator and I've seen some people on here enjoying him as well so!!! this list is for my people :))
He narrates both Adult and YA books so I have made a little breakdown in the comments about which book is which, in case you want to avoid one or the other!

YA Books with Adult Vibes
If you're like me, you might have been missing out on some stellar books because they have been published as YA, despite them having more complex themes. I took to the PB Club and asked for your recommendations for books that fit that criteria; this list is a compilation of (mostly fantasy) books from suggestions from all of you! Please feel free to drop some more recommendations, all genres accepted just as long as they are published as YA 🥰

Hauntology: Folk Horror and the Echoes of the Past
Hauntology is the philosophical concept, as quoted by Mark Fisher from his article taking a deeper look into Derrida's philosophical work, that "the present is always haunted by the ghosts of the past and the unfulfilled promises of the future." From generational trauma to dark histories to dying Old World pagan traditions, these elements persist throughout the wide genre of folk horror. These books explore deeply into the hauntings of the past and the instability of the future.
