Great list! I like how you included a mix of fantasy, romance, and graphic novels. I’m currently about halfway through Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky, so I’m hoping to finish that by August before picking up something new.

These all look great! I’ve been making my way through The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. Fascinating read.
