Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

Every single Aardvark Book Club book pick since its inception. Updated monthly!

I'm a huge fan of Maisie's music and her newest album Florescence has been playing nonstop since it came out. She's a passionate reader, so over the years many books recommendations have accumulated and I thought it would be cute to make a list out of them. Info taken from her Goodreads and Instagram accounts, newsletter, podcast, and various interviews she did. I will update this list as new recs come up, but if I miss something feel free to suggest it in the comments.

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.

Historical fiction in medieval or early modern settings, from the court of Henry VIII to medieval monasteries.

Help, I can’t stop thinking about a puppy knight and his brat lord lover.

KCD2 inspired reads with loyal knights/bodyguards, brats who are trying their best, or medieval vibes.

Please let me know if you have more 🤲
