I love and will always love Kathleen Glasgow and her books, but please check the trigger warnings before reading them.

you can not go wrong with any/all three of these refreshingly unorthodox and uniquely enlightening books:

Insanity Is Hereditary you get it from "Your Children." (2023 edition);
The Origin Of Words According to DJ;
Uncle Tom The President (2nd edition).

The Emperor's Soul This one is a pure fantasy with a dash of exploring humanity and what makes us individuals. It is a really solid short story imo.

Project Hail Mary If you want to try Sci-fi this one was really neat. Humor, science, and the fate of the world wrapped in one.

Frances Hardinge writes tons of middle grade fantasy that I use as a cleanser between adulty books. Don't let the age of the characters fool you, a lot of her works touch on interesting concepts and have solid writing. The Lie Tree was one of my faves and Deeplight was a wild ride eventually. (Was kinda slow though.) But the writing was so haunting and vivid and visceral all in one.
