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!

a silly list based on book titles ✨

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