Do you, like me, often find yourself looking at a book cover thinking, "Y'all are doing waaay too much." Why are book covers so dang extra nowadays? Here are some books that appeal to me simply because they have covers that don't look like a 19 year old with Photoshop barfed a bunch of design elements on a book and called it a day. Some I've read, some are on the TBR. And to all the authors and publishers out there, K.I.S.S.

Short fantasy and sci-fi books under 200 pages. Novellas and bite-sized adventures for those looking for something fast. (Absolutely not because I'm trying to squeeze some short books in before the end of the year.)

speculative and climate fiction about where we’re going

3…2…1…. blastoff on a short novella sized sci-fi adventure. Perfect for a palette cleanser or when you are in the mood for a quick read that is out of this world.

Recommendations welcome!

I love the Pagebound community but the one thing I don’t like about the app is how it incentives sticking to popular books more likely to have a decent amount of posts. (Granted some of this has to do with it being a little new) It’s my experience however that the hidden gems or even just less popular books are often just as if not more interesting as the best sellers.

So this is my list of books with 5 posts or less that I think deserve more love.

Shorter books (around 200 pages) to get out of a reading slump or to help pad your stats. Comment if you want recommendations, I’ve read a lot of these.

Short books to boost you to your reading goal. A lot of these are from ‘mckenna loves content’ on YouTube

I've been noticing that I reach for a lot of books that are kinda sci-fi-y and center around climate change. Some are more for sure sci-fi and some are more literary/between genres

If society ever collapsed, I’m saving room in my survival pack for these cause they feel like survival guides and history books.
