Y'all did a FANTASTIC job suggesting books last time, and I'm working through the last of the prompts I needed help with now (finishing up Piranesi today!)
So now, I have the last prompts in my challenge (finishing 3 months early if I finish them all in Sept.) I need help with.
I do NOT like romance, 'whodunit' mysteries, or self help books, so please keep that in mind.
The remaining prompts that I am struggling with are:
- A Celebrity on the Cover (I have already read so many celebrity memoirs, I'm not sure which one to go for next)
- An Adventure Story (give me your best pirate or sailing stories! Fiction and nonfiction welcome!)
- Audiobook version has multiple narrators (I don't do many audiobooks, do any suggestions here would be great.)
- A book that comes in a sprayed edge edition (I hate romantasy and I'm not sure what other books have had sprayed edge editions come out)
Thank you in advance! I love this place so much, it's the only place I get book recs now.

If you check out the Harry Hartog website you’ll find a ‘special gift editions’ section. There are 6 pages of books with sprayed edges. Yes, most are romantasy but not all. There are a bunch of classics like Wuthering Heights, Emma, Frankenstein, Little Women, and some scifi like Dune, The Three Body Problem, and some contemporary literature like Birnam Wood, Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Circe, The Cat Who Saved the Library….. there are lots more, have a look and you may find something you want to read.
Good luck!
murtagh by Christopher Paolini has a sprayed edge edition as well as The Broken Blades series by Mai Corland. Just bought these last week lol
Eye of the World by Robert Jordan has Michael Kramer and Kate Reading as the narrators and they are both great.
There are also lots of full cast readings of other books like Dune, American Gods, Fellowship of the Ring, etc
