Gotta Catch them All! Pokemon to Book Matches
This is a list of books representing every pokemon in HeartGold and SoulSilver (So Johto+Kanto regions). For my sanity, this is one book per evo line. The list with match-ups is in the comments✊🏻💚
Queer Botanical Plant Horror
Is this too specific?
You too deserve love
Do you want a book that will rip your heart out, show it to you, kiss it, then gently push it back into your chest? If so, then this list is for you. This list is full of books where the main character believes they are unworthy, unlovable, worthless, that no one would ever want them, etc but are proven wrong.
Recs are welcome. I am always on the lookout for more books like this, so if you know one that fits this description please recommend it.
Monsters in the Woods
Stories that involve monsters (literal, psychological, metaphorical) and the woods. 🌲🌲🌲
MM Romantasy
Romantasy but for the gays. Fantasy in this list includes: magic, fairies/fae, mythical, mystical, supernatural.
Pleasantly Spooky: Cozy Horror
I haven't read all of these myself yet, but the ones I haven't come recommended as cozy horror by Book Riot, and I trust them!
Queer Botanical Horror
I love Botanical Horror, but I also love Queer Stories. Surprisingly, there is a big overlap and if anyone else seeks to find books that fit both Sub-Genres, here is a (starter) list recommendations very welcome
Love on the Spectrum ♾️🌈
Autism is a spectrum. So we need more Books to show how divers that spectrum is. Without Masking and with a lot of Acceptance. Because it’s the system that needs to be fixed. Not the Person 💗
