Welcome to Monday Morsels, where we serve up snackable book recommendations to kickstart your week with flavor. Whether you’re craving something spicy, sweet, or just satisfyingly strange, there’s a morsel here for every mood.
Here’s what’s on the Literary Gluttony menu this Monday:
🥐 The Comfort Read
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
Low-stakes fantasy? Check. Found family? Check. An orc opening a coffee shop instead of fighting battles? Double check. This cozy, cinnamon-scented story is perfect if you want something warm, welcoming, and just a little bit magical to ease into the week.
🌶️ The Bold Flavor
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
Sharp, satirical, and unflinchingly honest—this one bites back. A wild ride through publishing, privilege, and plagiarism, perfect if you’re craving a little chaos with your Monday.
🍭 The Sweet Surprise
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
If you’re into cozy fantasy, found families, and a sprinkle of romance, this book is pure serotonin. Think: a mug of chai with a cinnamon stick, and maybe a cat curled up next to you.
🧂 The Dark Snack
Bunny by Mona Awad
Strange, unsettling, and darkly funny, this book will have you saying “what did I just read” at least five times. For those who like their reads a little twisted and a lot unforgettable.
🧁 The Little Treat (Short & Sweet)
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
A quietly emotional novella that blends time travel with tender human moments. You can finish it in an afternoon, and it’ll stay with you long after.
That’s your bookish tasting menu for the week!
