I did set up a LitFic feed a while ago. It also looks for posts about some of the bigger literary fiction book prizes.

In case that sounds like anyoneโ€™s jam:

The challenge would be great if people were encouraged to share why each book stuck with them ๐Ÿ™‚

Just updated the feed so hopefully fixed!

I am! Thank you, Iโ€™m glad you like them ๐Ÿ™

I find the only way to cope is to just not think about it, and cover up the guilt-inducing books with more books.
