Welcome to Eclectic Recs, a new series for paid subscribers in which I share an eclectic mix of book recommendations from my recent reads and backlist favorites. My reading life is at its best when I’m reading a little bit of everything and making connections between seemingly disparate genres. In addition to helping you build your TBR stack, I hope to use this series to illustrate how I connect the dots from one book to another through reflective reviews and the occasional themed list. Above all, I want to directly recommend great books to fellow readers without worrying about appeasing an algorithm.

Today’s selections are all backlist series with amazing audiobook productions for hours of summer listening. If you like cozy mysteries, atmospheric suspense, and magical coming of age stories, read on.
