Books like Piranesi where the setting/building makes no sense are like catnip to me! Others I’ve loved are Slade House, Catherine House, The Hollow Places and House of Leaves 🤪😁 .

Piranesi!!! such an incredible book i could not put it down the whole way through 🥰

I love almost all these books!! Would like to recommend Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, Ghost Music by An Yu and most of Jeff Vandermeers work.

I loved Bunny and Piranesi! I would add “The Library at Mount Char” and “Lonely Castle in the Mirror “ as super weird but solid reads 😊

[FadiAntwan]

The Library at Mount Char is by far the weirdest and craziest book I’ve ever read lol. I loved it.

Thank you for introducing me to urban fantasy, I'm actually a thriller reader but used to love watching your videos since 2020 and now I'm obsessed with the fantasy genre. Currently reading Jade war. Thank you Raegan, love from India ❤

Piranesi is the best book I've ever read! This is one of my favourite books!!💕😍

Apropos of absolutely nothing but that cardigan you're wearing in your ad read is incredible

More than 250 books later, Piranesi remains my top read since I’ve rekindled with reading during the pandemic. Such a brilliant book!

Il recomend Vita Nostra ! It blew my mind like a book never did ! A mix of dark academia and a very New Magic system 🤯

[ClumsyCharlott]

Loved this list! I've heard about many of these books before, but hearing you talk about them again made me finally add them to my want-to-read and wishlists!

[Femmadt]

i dont think i have ever been as puzzled and touched by a book as I was when I read piranesi. I will always recommend it (and yet also always struggle to recommend it cuz how the hell do you explain that book to someone?!?!)

[DecemberMagpie]

One of my all-time favourite "weird" books are Qualityland by Marc-Uwe Kling and The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern. Other books in this category that I've enjoyed are American Hippo by Sarah Perry, and All the Names by José Saramago. If you want to go the Manga route I recommend My Roomie Is A Dino series by Moriko Mori

You had me at "This book feels like an absolute fever dream" - that's my jam

[deborah]

"mass dragoning"? I am intrigued.

[HannahGreendale]

I absolutely loved When Women Were Dragons! I'm glad to see you feature it here, as I feel it's a marvelous book that's been inexplicably overlooked both with readers and with book prizes.

[FunFantasyBooks]

Gosh I adored Piranesi! I thought I was going to hate it, but loved it absolutely! I am so scared tho to get to The Books of Babel!

[thelitnerd]

Bunny and Piranesi were a couple of my favorite books I read last year! Weird books are often my favorite because they make me motivated to read and figure out what's going on as fast as possible lol

[rebekah]

Wooooah, I have not been here in a hot minute (life has been so busy and had no time for Youtube) but have been watching you since 2016. You are looking AMAZING! I love that cardigan and you are glowing. You look so beautiful.
