I saw a copy of Howl (and other poems) at my local used book store, and I ended up passing on it. Hopefully it's still there next time I visit because you've convinced me to read it!
I'm surprised you talked about books that are so old)) I read "The Awakening" some 15-18 years ago, and "Affinity" about a decade, I suppose. Waters is great, although I'm proud to say I guessed where everything was going; she's a terrific writer, and I'd like to find the film this book has been made into, too.
Not all fantasy is set in “fairytale” worlds :) Plenty of fantasy stories have worlds very much like our own (or more grim), with varying degrees of magic or magical systems.
Have you ever read any of these recs? What’s your favorite way to get out of a reading slump? I’d love to know! 😊

I’m so happy to hear that! I passed on it for years until I had to read it for a class, and was blown away. I hope you love it! 😊

I read Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” in high school I think and really liked it! Adding The Awakening to my TBR now, thank you 🙏
I hope you enjoy the novel! I need to reread “The Story of an Hour,” it’s been ages!
If you liked Affinity, you’ll love Tipping the Velvet! And I’ve never heard of the first book, sounds cool.
I haven’t read Tipping the Velvet yet, but absolutely plan on it! I really need to get my hands on a copy 😄
Your tiny microphone is adorable lol
Haha, I think so too! 😅
