What an amazing list! ✨️🙌
oh what beautiful list, love this idea! ☁️
🥹 once again, i am honoured dear billiam
Will be adding more! Not fonished hehe
oooh yes yes yes, I am obsessed with these vibes!!!
Ilyyyyy !!!! Lmk if u get round to any hehe
I actually have both Mad Sisters and Time War on my plan for November/December! Will report back for sure 🙂↕️ love you toooo xx
You have perfectly timed this list Mossy! I am currently reading Piranesi and last night thought to myself I want to read more books that feel like this! Do you have a recommendation of what to try next from here?
Oh i love this!! Synchronicity!!! I havent read Piranesi yet (high on tbr) but from what I understand, I’d say Mad Sisters of Esi. Maybe also The Starless Sea or poss even Water Moon.
Not on this list but Echo North has a magical (slightly surreal) house. I adored reading about it. It’s a fantasy retelling though so probs not same vibe. But if this sounds interesting, I’d recommend going in blind
Also! You might find options on @kishmish ‘s Post-colonial Fever Dreams list or @shannamania ‘s Floating in a deprivation tank vibes list :))
Lmk ehat u decide!!
whispers i think you would love Mad Sisters of Esi
Also apparently The Cautious Traveller’s Guides to the Wastelands !!! (The one i just added)
Love this theme for a list! Looking forward to seeing what else you add
Thank u thistle!!!! 💛
I love this! Have you ever read pure color? Im playing “will they/wont they” with my library holds for this one and I need someone to sell me on it one way or another
Possible contender for this list: The Unconsoled - Kazuo Ishiguro. Such a curious book, it truly felt as though one was IN a dream, in the way that the story shifts and changes without making sense but only in the way a dream DOES make sense.
Maya!!! I love this list omg, some of my favourite books! So excited to jump into more of them
This is such a beautiful list ! Thank you for making it !
