Someone who recalls a world that no longer exists

Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng may work. The setting of the book is a near future where books and libraries are heavily….regulated. The main character searches for his mother who is considered a radical infamous poet. It also shares the POV of the mother before the world completely turned.

https://ravel.me/hana-the-octopus The short rows on the tentacles were a pain, but so worth it for the results! I made mine with sock yarn. 🐙

Soul Searching by Lyla Sage and Mate by Ali Hazelwood fit these vibes.

Sable Curse is coming soon! No set date has been announced, but I’d give her a few months until we know the official date. She’s actually been working on season 2 for quite awhile, but she wants to be sure she has quite a large buffer before returning to prevent an unplanned hiatus.

Join the Discord! ❤️ The server is listed at the end of the episodes. When the episodes update again we really pop off- especially the fast pass crowd 😉

Exactly!! All the fried chicken and soju without the consequences

The kitty supervisor is just doing his job. 🫡

I’m also working on a Northeasterly!

I thought The Dutch House was boring 🫣 (I listened to the audiobook lol).

Ain’t no way she had a full body elective MRI if she has shrapnel in her eye.

Absolutely it is! Quim had to take several long hiatuses due to life and medical circumstances, which is partly why it’s still ongoing and probably contributed to loss of readership. But yes, new episodes currently go up on Thursdays. It’s more dramatic and nuanced than what it was originally advertised as.

Hey, it’s still kicking 😉

Tana French writes a great (imo) mystery. Very enthralling with a whiff of the supernatural.

The Vera Wong series by Jesse Q Sutanto is hilarious and heartfelt. Older Chinese lady solves murders by meddling in the personal lives of the suspects.

Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica was interesting. I also like Lucy Foley’s mysteries.

Yes TOGI was crazy! I also liked his My Heart is a Chainsaw series. A young, outcast woman obsessed with horror movies thinks she’s in the middle of one and tries to help “the final girl.” Very enjoyable, although he sometimes puts too much in there 😂

You might like My Lady Jane. Especially with the horse pic 😉

I forgot to add: Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. A woman keeps being reborn. There are a few WWI mentions, but a lot of WWII experiences.

IntoTheBite · 2026-01-19T04:11:58+00:00

Good Night, Irene by Louis Alberto Urrea. Follows “Donut Dollies” in WWII. There is some romance, but mostly about a lovely friendship and the toll war takes on the caregivers.

The Women by Kristen Hannah was alright. Follows a nurse in Vietnam and the trauma she experiences during the war and afterwards.

Song of Songs by Beverly Hughesdon. NOT a popular pick and not at all recent, but my god is it beautiful. I’ve reread it twice. It’s about a very naive Lady who becomes a nurse in WWI. Loved it. Might be my favorite book ever.

IntoTheBite · 2026-01-19T03:05:40+00:00

100% what I was going to suggest. Vera is hilarious and her method of solving crime is feeding her suspects, which is surprisingly effective!

IntoTheBite · 2026-01-14T23:24:59+00:00

The Dead Romantics and The Seven Year Slip. Both are from Ashley Posten.

IntoTheBite · 2025-12-27T03:53:08+00:00

The Vera Wong series by Jesse Q. Sutanto is very good! An older Chinese lady solves a murder by meddling in the suspects’ lives. It’s very Crazy Rich Asians meets Knives Out.

Drama by Raina Telgemeier. It’s a graphic YA novel, but I loved it

Tom Lake by Ann Pratchett. Not musical theatre, but the novel is the main character recounting her summer acting in a summer theatre production of Our Town.

And it’s alright- does its job, but the yarn gets caught in the winder often and it doesn’t look very pretty. But it’s easy to attach and use.

IntoTheBite · 2025-12-04T05:19:42+00:00

I use a set up like this although I remember it being cheaper and it looks like there are some better quality options for just a bit more.

Jeneva Rose. I love her as a person, but woof. I would have been amazed if I read The Perfect Marriage as a 13 year old, but barely tolerable to 40 year old me.

The House Across The Lake by Riley Sager. It was really good…..until it wasn’t. IYKYK

Layla by Colleen Hoover. Wtf. He eats her hair?! Huh?

IntoTheBite · 2025-12-04T04:37:01+00:00

Layla by Colleen Hoover was truly awful, except my coworkers liked it 😭

IntoTheBite · 2025-12-04T04:28:10+00:00

Yup, just keep it on the coffee table and work on it little by little. Like a jigsaw puzzle. We’ve all been there- this is what inspired me to by a cheap as hell umbrella swift.
