Recs if you like Muckle Flugga...

For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again ❤️

This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.

Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.

Some classic, popular, and lesser-known books about the lives and relationships of men who love men. Recommendations welcome---I'm specifically in search of more books centering trans men! [Created Sep '25]

if you’re craving something that feels like the next martha’s vineyard (iykyk)! books that evoke the same feeling as the magnificent tv show ‘widows bay’

Fiction set entirely or primarily on the islands of Scotland (Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland, and others)

Open to recs

Stories by Scottish authors/about Scotland- complied for you by a central belt lassie

Books about lighthouses or books where lighthouses are relevant in some way. (Please let me know if you have any suggestions :) )

This list will showcase the vast amount of Scottish Literature available, from the late medieval period to the present day. Partly inspired by there only being a few Scottish books on the 'British Classics' quest. Alba gu bràth!

(This is not exhaustive! Just 100 or so books that vaguely trace the development of Scottish Literature.)
