Cape Fever by Nadia Davids, & This House Will Feed by Maria Tureaud!

give me all the historical gothics dealing with class & colonialism pleeeeease! The real ghosts were the imperialists we met along the way.

Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter, by Heather Fawcett!

I don’t usually get down with cozy fantasy, but after the perfection of the Emily Wilde trilogy, I will follow Fawcett anywhere. And, I mean, the cover!

Make Me Better, by Sarah Gailey!

I mean I did just say I’ll read anything by them without even knowing what it’s about. But also this is giving wellness industry cult vibes that I’d be so into even from an unknown author! Can’t wait.

A Long and Speaking Silence, by Nghi Vo!

y’all my favorite author took my favorite series and said “let’s do a boat one next” I can’t even tell you how excited I am to read this.

Girl Dinner, by Olivie Blake!

Ok so I had an accidental cannibalism theme in my september reading, & this is just continuing this trend of my favorite authors writing the one thing I’ve always said I can’t handle reading. They’ve all been so good & horrifying so far, I have high hopes here lol

Bonus for 2 Caitlin Starlings in a row- The Graceview Patient + The Starving Saints!

The mutual vibe here is claustrophobic, deeply unsettling, all too aware of one’s body. Hospitals, castles under siege, either way, reality is a matter of opinion. I’m glad I’ve got a bunch more Starling to read!

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney!

Ok why have I not read any Sally Rooney til now, how embarrassing. This was what I wanted every time I search “books that feel like reading em forster” and get frustrated that Google doesn’t understand my heart~. god this book was good.

The Place of Shells by Mai Ishizawa, translated by Polly Barton!

This book made my heart ache and had me googling all kinds of things I didn’t know (saints, tsunamis, German geography) and I will definitely keep thinking about it for a long time.

We Live Here Now by C.D. Rose!
I saw “Calvino meets Borges” and said yes please. It’s unnerving & surreal & lingering, and surprisingly funny. I love this kind of book.

Fantastic book, as always from Harrow, but I also really loved getting to hear her talk about it at a signing while 3/4 of the way through already & low-key scared to finish 😅 plus the physical object that is this book is so beautiful!! The illustrations! The spredges! The jacket art! God I love it.
