the beauty of everyday things
the texture of sun-warm sheets, time alone with a book, the lattice of light through the trees in the early evening, the comfort of an ordinary routine, a fleeting exchange, an everyday kindness.
these works of fiction observe, preserve and venerate the beautiful mundane, the small things of life.
recs very much welcome :)

That list description is screaming Mossy (moss-mylk) š„¹ I think that The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating would fit!
OH OH and Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton

i think iām going to try to keep this list to fiction, but that sounds beautiful and iāll be stealing it for myself šāāļø
No worries, I totally missed the āworks of fictionā bit š
pachinkoOP

I support whatever you decide! š¤
I loveeee this. I just bought a copy of Septology and I passed up Stoner the other day which I keep getting mad at myself about because it's been on my tbr for years, I don't know what I was thinkingš«
pachinkoOP
ahh you need to read Stoner!! i feel like you would love it. itās probably one of my favourite books of all time. Septology is on my list for this year (aspirationally)
Love love love this list idea!! Pumped to read through this selection. š
Might I recommend Jayber Crow or Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry? Either would fit into this list, I think.
pachinkoOP
