Being human is hard! This list is for shorter stories/books/novellas that can help ground us, offer connection, and remind us of what truly matters in this dumpster fire of a world.

Please share your recs in the comments! Let's keep this list growing!

death-positive reads for the morbidly curious

I bought a guided reading journal for more grounded reflection and a way to wind down at night (and a cute incentive to take my time with reading and not feel guilty about it). Surprise, the journal has recommendations in the back! I figured I'd share just in case anyone else was interested/had the same journal and wanted a list on here too!

In an attempt to read books from as many countries as possible, i compiled a little list... ❤️

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Not comfort. Clarity. These books show the world as it actually is. (fiction and nonfiction)

Moments in which I've been nourished as a feminine, mother, woman & liberated creative being.

Justice. Courage. Temperance. Wisdom. This is capital S Stoicism, none of that misattributed Spock nonsense.

books that make you go owwwch my head... AKA building narrative in postpostmodernity

Memoirs and biographies that made me see my own life differently

This is not ment to be a list of must-read existentialist text, it’s books (usually fiction) that embody existential themes and are 5-star writing! What does is mean to be human?

almost all books that people have recommended!! I still have to read them

Reflecting on people, choices, love, loss, or simply life.

books that actually moved my soul

These books have influenced the way I think about and live my life day-to-day. Maybe they'll change yours too?

I own too many books
