weaveworld by clive barker
the thirteenth tale by diane setterfield
master and margarita by mikhail bulgakov
the idiot by fyodor dostoevsky
howl’s moving castle by diane wynne jones (for the second time)
Depending on the vibe you’re after, The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is a favorite, so cozy and entertaining, as well as The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings books - very near and dear to my heart and so fun to read! Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is one of the craziest, tensest, most atmospheric books I’ve read, ever. And The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is an absolute trip, fantastical, satirical, and feverish to the extreme. All very different from the other but each so good in their own way!
Random books from very different genres I think about a lot:
- And Then There Were None (Or literally any book by Agatha Christie)
- The Picture of Dorian Gray
- City of Brass
- Books by Garth Nix (I loved them as a kid)
- A series of unfortunate events
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Chess (Stefan Zweig)
- 1984
- Shogun
- The Golden Compass
i listened to this one as an audiobook. of course the plot here is more expansive than the movie’s, it’s the book!!! duh!! its an entirely lovely way to spend 9 hours
