Recs if you like Oona Out of Order...

A librarian's favorite response to asking what book a patron is looking for...

A collection of books that explore time travel in all its forms; from romance and second chances to sci-fi adventures and shifting timelines.

50 books that involve time travel or parallel universes

The 80s were loud, complicated, joyful, heartbreaking, and transformative. These books capture the decade from every angle.

Books about traveling through time and dimensions and all the crazy implications

Lets time travel!! Into the past or future or alternate realities or even extended lifetimes - wherever it takes us 💫

Books featuring time-travel, time-loops and other timey-wimey shenanigans…

Suggestions welcome

These books are built around ideas more than plot. What makes a thing or a person what it is/who they are? What is reality? In a patriarchal society, what happens if we take men out of the equation? Leaning into the philosophical without reading like a textbook, they offer interesting characters, good writing, and much to think about. (Recs are welcome. I will not add novels that offer interesting ideas, but make me think they should have been a short story. Short story collections are fine.)

Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)

Are you bored? Do you need a fun, exciting, easy-to-read and/or random book to ignore your TBR and start reading right away? Reference this list!

Suggestions welcome 🙏

My favorite reads. Books I felt in my soul. Usually quirky with moments of joy and empathy. Books I will read again. Bittersweet and full of love and connection. What does it mean to be human?

Time loops, time travel, time ticking down, oh my!

Time travel books with some romance

Books with the name of their female protagonist in the title
