I DNFed this one earlier this year, but you might like it. Who knows? It is 640 to Montreal by Ava.
61 oddly specific book recommendations
it's very interesting. Mostly just reading the list of goods is interest.
then this one just because I just read it and we're kind of filled with the same feeling that reading these quotes gives me is Ann of Green Gables by Ella M. Montgomery. this was great.
the most recent one that I read that fits the bill is Annie John by Jamaica Concaid. This one is more of a motheraughter relationship. very much coming of age of Annie who is living on Antigga and what she goes through as she grows into adolescence and really what happens in the space between her and her mother.
I prefer Cassandra. It's been a long time since I've read either of these, but I do remember loving Cassandra by Crystal Wolf a little bit more. So, I'll recommend this one.
I think this is a really interesting book, really well put together, and , I loved it and it's it's a beautiful book as well. it is corridors passages of modernity by Roger Luckurst.
A book that comes to mind to sum up Kelsifer or to represent Kelzifer, it is seriously The Count of Monte Cristo again by Zuma. This is a five-st star read for me.
It must be Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tartuk. I really enjoyed this one.
The first one that came to mind is another book that I DNFed, but I've seen a lot of people love. That is Gods of Jade and Shadow by Sylvia Marino Garcia. This one is literally very much Mayan stuff.
however, one that I have read about a very niche hobby because I mean I don't know anyone who goes hawking who does hawking, but we have Hes for Hawk by Helen McDonald. This is another non-fiction. , it's all about her relationship with this mostly one specific hawk, but it's also so much about grief and her grappling with losing her father and taking in this hawk.
For a spooky maybe sentient house, got to be House of Leaves by Marca Danielski. deeply scary for me.
you follow their ups, their downs, their friendships, rivalries, helping one another out, being incredibly jealous of one another. This delves into so many topics in contemporary soul society from plastic surgery to motherhood and I really loved it.
Another cat human relationship that comes to mind for me is Kiki and Gigi from Kiki's Delivery Service. That is another very just like healing, protective relationship for me that I love seeing on screen. I loved reading about it in the book.
I just loved this. This was so much funnier than I was expecting. It was so much more of everything than I was expecting.
I think Jansen does such a good job at showcasing all of the textures and all of the qualities, the different winds, the different types of snow, the different sounds, the winter landscape, the winter atmosphere. She does such a perfect job of someone encountering that for the first time.
And then probably one of my favorites, it's not even a big, it's not the center. Well, it's the center for me of the book. I'll just tell you. It's Neveright by Jay Kristoff.
To be honest, I read this year. I wasn't blown away. I think if I had read it when it had originally come out and this would have been a very groundbreaking I think piece of feminist literature I would have been blown away reading it this year I wasn't enamored with it as a piece of you know geography fiction.
It's slow, atmospheric. and I think this would be a very good kickoff to the autumn season.
and she decides to take the mouse in and it's about their relationship and it's so heartwarming. , I think it's really well done and it was just like such a sweet companion.
The last book that I read about doppelgangers or that had doppelgangers was crazy. , so correct. That is Snow Globe by Soy Young Park.
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. So totally The Big Sleep. I love this.
I read Halloween: The Halloween Tree last October, and it was one of my favorite books of the year. I loved this book so much and it's now made me want to read everything that Ray Bradbury has ever written.
this one I checked out of my university library when I was writing a book set in the Victorian period and I really wanted to be accurate and write about furniture in a way that was historical and accurate and this was pretty interesting actually. Okay, someone go bump up these reviews on good readads because this was cool.
one that we've also read for the World Tour book club from Albania fits this bill perfectly because this is the Palace of Dreams. This one is very bureaucratic but bureaucratic in dealing with dreams.
I'm going to recommend either The Penelopead by Margaret Atwood or Cassandra, which I have right here. I prefer Cassandra. It's been a long time since I've read either of these, but I do remember loving Cassandra by Crystal Wolf a little bit more.
This one is about someone who is so devoted to their line of work as a butler, mostly during the time set after World War I, but so devoted to their work, so devoted to what they think is loyalty and duty that they're pretty much watching everyone else and like live their lives, and they're kind of stuck somewhere. This one also works really well because it's about someone looking back at their past and seeing what they've done, how they've chosen to spend their day so far.
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham. This is so great. I always see these two dumb asses toad and frog sitting in a boat rowing up the river and below will just be like the most inspirational thing you've ever heard in your life.
I'm going to recommend another Jansen. I just love this author. We have the summer book. This is so fantastic.
Okay, the last one I read was the Traveling Cat Chronicles. , this one I didn't even have a cat when I read this book, and I don't think I want to read it now that I have two cats because it just I just there's too much emotion.
I really enjoyed this book. It does not have very good reviews. I think I'm in the minority with enjoying this, but it's called The Thing in the Snow by Shawn Adams.
it's very disheartening to obviously read the book, look up and see the same thing, but it is so well done. scarily relevant, like just copy paste, but it's also so creative and so fun and so interesting at the same time because you're in this teeny tiny perspective and it's so beautiful.
