I’ve been a bit down recently and looking for a pick me up. I’m trying to avoid a sad/stressful read. Any recommendations for books that are genuinely just a fun and quick read? I read mostly general fiction but always down for a fantasy, romance or mystery book! ✨

wow this confrontation between frankenstein and his creature is just like me and my parents actually. Hm

The first mention of the "bell jar". I get really fascinated when a book's title has been used in the contents of the book. I find it fascinating because once you know the context of the title, you understand the book so much better.

As a mood reader, I often look around my (very, very wonderfully full!) shelves and find I am not quite in the mood to read a single book on them. I love gathering more recommendations to add to the ever growing pile (and to cater for niche moods and vibes!), so I love to ask people what’s on their shelf to read next.

What is the next book on your TBR/reading plan?

About 25 % into it, can’t put it down and yet I don’t think I’m mentally ready for whatever’s coming.

or: The message I sent to my book club at the time: "Hey y'all, I might be a little late, but: Sharp Objects likes to be... edgy. (Yes, I know it's a thriller. It's still a lot. At least to me.) Maybe seek out some content warnings, just to be prepared
