Hello all.

I’m in a little bit of a book rut at the moment, and rather than have people do the whole, “What are you reading?” or “What would you recommend?” thread, I thought instead it might be fun to spin it a little differently.

So the idea would be that someone would post, “Looking for sci-fi fantasy YA,” and someone could recommend, say, The Lunar Chronicles.

I hope that makes sense. Mostly I just want some book recommendations. So my pitch currently is: “I want a book, preferably by a female author, that plays with themes of sexuality and gender” or I’d also like “A collection of short stories that contain some level of magic realism and tend to end on slightly disturbing/linger notes” because I’ve almost run out of Ali Smith and Kate Atkinson stuff.
