Recs if you like Geisha, a Life...

I couldnt find a list of these yet, so i made one! You may not be able to collect the badges anymore, but if you’re a completionist like me; here are all the books of the pagebound seasonal readalongs and the special event readalongs!

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Nonfiction about historical events, people, and places outside of North America & Europe (both contemporary and ancient history).

This list can include nonwestern perspectives within/analyzing western cultures or countries as well (as long as it’s in a historical context).

Note: check content warnings; books in this list may cover triggering subjects

a collection of nonfiction works either not written by americans or not concerning america. from memoirs to more traditional historical/factual nonfiction, this list ties the world together through the lens of non-american stories.

recommendations welcome!

I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!

just some books about random stuff I’m interested in :)

My favorite type of non-fiction (would love comments on books to add here!)

As the title suggests, these are non-fiction books that are translated into English. Please suggest more books! (WIP)
