Recs if you like Chasing Vermeer...

it’s vaguely the 2010’s. the walls are painted a garish shade of purple, littlest pet shop pets line the walls, and everything smells like a jolly watermelon smencil.

these are the books that I remember from a childhood spent reading voraciously. the nostalgia is baked in.

Books that probably turned you into a reader if you’re in your mid-20s now 👀

the books you read during recess instead of playing kickball

Includes paintings on the cover, as well as large features in the story. All genres as long as it's fiction. Recommendations very welcome! (I haven't read most of these books)
