Aka Dua Lipa’s reading list. Everyone’s fave popstar on permanent holiday with a massive list of books to read, and she always seems to have incredible recommendations.

When you loved the books assigned in English class.

A small selection of the over 2000+ banned books recently brought to the attention of Texas' Lt. Gov and a conservative organization for their for "vulgar" material 🙄 including topics of history, race, LGBTQ+, gender identity, feminism, mental health, and sex education as well as romance, horror, science fiction, memoirs, YA, and classic genres. Aka my new reading list 💅 **Includes all the books I've read/on my TBR and other popular books, comment others if you want!!

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!

Historical fiction is one of my top pics as you can get a variety of flavors within it. Want to cry? Historical Fiction. Your skin to crawl? Historical Fiction! The world is your oyster

Keeping up with the 700+ books featured on Overdue since 2013

Spanish is my first language and I thought I'd compile a list of interesting books that were originally written in Spanish.

I have read a bunch of these, but not all of them!

And as always if you have any recs please feel free to comment them.

These stories were written decades (sometimes centuries) ago, yet they still understand us — love, loneliness, ambition, fear, hope. If you’ve ever wanted to try classics but didn’t know where to start, this is a gentle door in.
