Does anyone have a UK-based book subscription they'd recommend? PLEASE READ CONDITIONS
1. core focus is lit fic and/or fic in translation
2. I already have Fitzcarraldo + &OtherStories subs & am aware of British LIb ones
3. new releases or 'opt out' so I don't get things I've already read

On September 16, 2023 Taylor and Blake went out on the town to Zero Bond social club in NYC. The girls dressed in opposite aesthetics with Taylor going for a dark academia look with &OtherStories wine colored boots and a tiny braid in her hair, and Blake opting for multi-color heels and skirt.🍸

Taylor up close showing her curly hair and tiny braid accent. She also wears Founrae heart drop earrings.

I’ve just finished (just) the Iliac Crest by Cristina Rivera Garza. Her writing does strange things to me. I can almost feel my brain being rewired. And if you think this one’s surreal and multilayered (which it is) try Taiga Syndrome which has all this and an unreliable narrator. &OtherStories UK

I'm being spoiled by a lot of excellent stuff from my subs &otherstories/Fitzcarraldo & some really fun Persephone reprints. But I read a Du Maurier ebook in parallel with the second modern novel and it was like night and day in terms of quality (sometimes I think I prioritise weird factors tho)
