Notes:
Please check trigger warnings for all books
I have notΒ read most of the books on this list and cannot speak to triggers, quality, content, etc.
Hoopla often doesnβt get series order right, check order elsewhere
Audiobook sections will endeavor to list when a book also has the ebook listed on hoopla. Ebook sections are books that are exclusively available as ebooks.
Feel free to DM if any books are no longer available or if there are books you think I should add to the list!
