Recs if you like Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things...

a collection of memoirs by individuals who have lived with and survived (and continue to survive) debilitating mental illnesses. these are their stories.

Books that discuss body focused repetitive behavior (BFRB). Including dermatillomania (skin picking or excoriation), trichotillomania (hair pulling), onychotillomania and onychophagia (nail picking and biting) etc. associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety.

If you’re not familiar with Mychal, he is the new host of The Reading Rainbow and he has been spreading “library joy” on social media for years. Mychal has a book club on Fable that is for a more mature audience than The RR. He has posted a new book monthly since March 2024. I have enjoyed every book I’ve read from his club! I am not Mychal Threets and I do not know him personally. I am creating this list to help share a bit of Mychal’s Library Joy with Pagebound.

Audiobooks where the author narrates themselves (or is apart of a cast, not just some preface type stuff) Open for suggestions

I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2016-2020.

There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:

• Audiobook of the year
• Autobiography/Memoir
• Erotica
• Spanish
• Fantasy
• Fiction
• History/Biography
• Humor
• Horror
• Literary Fiction
• Classics
• Middle Grade
• Mystery
• Nonfiction
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Short Stories/Collections
• Thriller/Suspense
• YA/Teens
• Paranormal

Happy listening!

Books that might soothe a broken heart - or break it all over again.

Books that made me think about life differently after reading them.

For when music just won't cut it and you need a new weird hyperfixation.

I own too many books

Books that may be insightful, relatable, empowering for those of us 40+.
