Recs if you like The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol. 1...

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

Novellas, shorter books, and stories that are a decent bite of literature and a full meal despite being compact. Like a burrito on a commute to work. AKA my full novella master list.

The Whereabouts Lane Committee would like to formally invite you to promenade through St Crispians, London. Stroll to Lapis Lazuli to see the lovely Miss Emma M Lion. Visit the church and listen to Young Hawkes, the silver tongued vicar. Get your portrait taken by Mr. Pierce, the token American. Perhaps stop by the Cleopatra for a pint.
