I’ve been making way through the 2024 Read Harder Challenge throughout the year, providing recommendations for each task, but this week has brought me to a tricky one: task #16, Read a book based solely on the title. Usually, I write about each book to explain why would should read it for the task, but an explanation would essentially make that book ineligible for task #16, because then you couldn’t be reading it solely for the title.

Debut Horror Novels You Have to Read

This week’s bestsellers include a couple new titles. First is The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness, which is the fifth book in the All Souls series that started with A Discovery of Witches. The other is not a surprise: Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance hit the bestseller list after being nominated as Vice President, running alongside Donald Trump. Here at Book Riot, we’ve been writing about the flaws of Hillbilly Elegy for years, especially as a representation of Appalachia. First there was Josh Corman’s Lies, Damn Lies, and Hillbilly Elegy in 2016, then Kendra Winchester’s 15 Books About Appalachia to Read Instead of Hillbilly Elegy in 2020, and even more in years since. Of course, we can’t stop you from reading it, but we can suggest that if you do, you pick up some of these other examples of Appalachian literature to get a more accurate view of the region and the writers who represent it. Now, onto the bestsellers.

Truly there are few finer pleasures in the world in settling in for a night of coziness. All you need is a beverage of your choice (I myself enjoy an evening cocktail), a good book or trashy reality show, and, it should go without saying, your oldest, most threadbare sweatpants. And sometimes you’ve also got your partner on hand, basking in all that comfort with you. But this concept was recently lost on a friend of TikTok user @them_yangs, who shared the story with their permission (and started some conversations in the process).

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Today’s book recommendation is a young adult graphic novel in translation. Originally it was a webtoon and as such it was written in Korean. I recently learned that the webtoon format originated in South Korea so there you go! This book is so heartfelt and earnest and sweet and my eyes welled with tears multiple times while reading it but it’s so worth it. It’s absolutely lovely.
