  • Favourite Book Themed Gifts

    Just curious what people's favourite gifts are for book lovers? I always get my husband a new bookmark and books but got him a cute bookmark holder last year. I also love those book nooks but don't have proper bookshelves set up yet. What do most people like to get? Maybe some good Christmas ideas here gH

  • Recommendations for YA Books with Adult Vibes

    UPDATE: Thank you everyone for so many awesome recommendations! I decided to go ahead and turn it into a list (also called "YA Books with Adult Vibes"). Feel free to continue dropping recs here or in the list forum and I will add additional books from both sources 🥰

    I just did a huge book haul for my birthday and found myself automatically filtering out anything tagged as YA as I was searching online; it got me thinking though, some of my favourite books (or books I've heard very good things about) have been YA and I didn't get the sense that they were juvenile at all. Some examples of books/series that I think fit the criteria: Don't Let the Forest In Scythe A Deadly Education A Tempest of Tea The Gilded Wolves Six of Crows We Hunt the Flame

    Don't get me wrong, some YA books definitely fit in the genre, but I feel like there's a whole treasure trove of books with mature writing that are hidden in the YA genre. If I wasn't directly recommended these books, I would likely have never read them due to filtering out anything YA.

    What are your recommendations for books published as YA that could/should be classified as Adult?

    (Better yet, maybe there's already a list out there that I am not finding!)

    I do find I'm enjoying this more than the first one so far, but I'm still adjusting to Urban fantasy. I've caught myself doing a double take when I hear them mention something like YouTube or Netflix lol
