I'm in the middle of reading Masters of Death by Olivie Blake for this prompt (to tide me over until my hold on The Atlas Complex comes in). It's a lot of fun, way more humorous than The Atlas Trilogy, but still has the incredibly complex, hundred moving pieces feel to the plot.
I read “Europe by Milk Run” by Rory Moulton. It’s a travel memoir of taking the slow train and exploring off the beaten track.

I'm reading The Godfather by Mario Puzo. My mum has had it sitting on her shelf since 1969 (hers is a first edition, no less!), so I know that spine like I know my own name.
I read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman, I enjoyed it and gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️.Could also satisfy: character-driven, grieving character, omniscient narrator, finding identity
For this prompt I chose to read Little by Edward Carey for this prompt, since the version I read had the title in all lowercase.
Stolen by Lucy ChristopherVery conflicted on how to rate this. Went with a 3 but more accurately a 3.5.
For "lowercase letters on the spine" #4 I used Anna K: A Love Story. I was not impressed by this book.
For this prompt, I read
Ron Rash's book The Cove
A haunting eerie tale, that was perfect for the day it was read.
I read Emily Noble's Disgrace by Mary Paulson-Ellis It was wonderful!She's one of my favourite authors & I was delighted it fitted this prompt, as I was struggling like many others.
If someone still has problems deciding which book to read, I'd like to point out that Penguin Classics; clothboud, modern, little black classics, ALL have lower case letters in the spine.
“Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque” by Edgar Allan Poe is really a vast look at all of Poe’s work including essays. It does have the title written in lower case on the spine.
