Recs if you like The Signature of All Things...

Fiction books featuring plants as a major theme. For the purpose of this list, fungi are honorary plants! All fiction genres here (though I am primarily a fantasy reader, so suggestions most welcome!)

Dark Academia's lighter and cozier counterpart. Mostly fantasy and nature books.

Every book longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction since it was founded in 1996, under its current title and previous sponsored titles of 'Orange' and 'Baileys' Prize for Fiction. I want to hear your percentage overlap in the comments!

A balance of breezy page-turners with immersive classics and thought-provoking non-fiction.

Faux biographies/memoirs and books in that vein.

Pretty self explanatory, the main character is a biologist, and I love that as someone studying biology.

Note: I'm basing this on the synopsis of the books because I haven't read most of them yet. If I got any wrong, please do tell me. If anyone has any recommendations, please also do tell me.

book selections inspired by the tortured poets department album courtesy of the one and only taylor alison swift, enjoy (or don't, i'm sorry)

Sentimental Garbage is a podcast by Caroline O'Donoghue. Often the topic is a particular title/book, so this list is slowly curating the different books that are discussed. For those who enjoy reading and podcasts! NB: it doesn't include books of film media discussed unless they've also done an episode on the book.
