The dangerous part
How it works.
Three steps between you and your next fictional problem.
01 — SPILL
Tell us everything.
Tropes. Favourite books. Red flags. Green flags. Spice. Genres. Absolute nos. We want the lore.
02 — WE CHOOSE
We do the dangerous bit.
Alana & Deepsy personally choose a book we think you’ll love. No recommendation algorithm hiding behind a spreadsheet.
03 — OBSESS
Meet your new problem.
Your package arrives. Open it. Read it. Get emotionally attached. Pretend you have learned nothing.
Choose your damage
Pick a level.
Two ways to let us interfere with your TBR. Easy to edit when the real packages are finalised.
