Recs if you like When the Moon Hits Your Eye...

no matter where you live, we all see the same moon, even if it’s day, the moon is still there saying 🌝 so here is a list of a bunch of books with the word “moon” in the title

taking suggestions!

Books We Love from NPR began in 2013, always boasting over 200 books (almost 400 in recent years) featuring genres from memoirs, to cookbooks, to graphic novels, to children’s literature, to nonfiction, to novels. Check out NPR’s website to filter this massive list.

The list is in reverse alphabetical order directly from NPR.

Books where something has happened to the moon - it’s gone missing/been destroyed/broken apart/otherwise messed with

Books that hinge on a completely ridiculous premise and then they go hard and make the absolute most of it. Sometimes with way more emotional depth than you'd expect.

these book titles are all recognizable song lyrics! (though some have adjusted a word or two)

as always, suggestions are welcome!

Nominees and winners of every category of the Good Reads Choice Awards for the year of 2025. Some books overlap so they were only entered once.

science fiction that takes place Right Now ⬇️

Books where the cover features only one person

Books with pronouns in the title. Suggestions welcome!

Food and / or consumption is central to these stories. Based initially off a really inspiring class

Books set on the moon, heavily involve the moon, or about the moon

A list comprised of novels that all have some sort of philosophical theme without necessarily trying to be a philosophy textbook. This list has a wide range: existential, political, ethics, etc. These books all make you think about life or society in some impactful way. Recs welcome!

Food-related books across genres (only including first book of series if all food related)

Any book that made me laugh out loud, giggle or just entertain me

For when you are in the mood for a little moonlight. Highly rated books that place the moon in the title, on the cover, or at the heart of the story.

I saw so many books with moons on the cover in such a short time frame. Please let me know if any of these are actually NOT moons 😭 and if a list like this exists already 😄 and obvi what other books have moons on the cover 🤯
