The History of Animation
From Disney, to anime, to the Czech New Wave-
This is my favorite subject, and I'll be adding books as I discover them. Some of these are a pain in the ass to get your hands on, but no pricetag can stop me.

Women's Memoirs and (Auto)biographies
I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!

Polymath Training Challenge, Best Of
Polymath Training Challenge is a non-fiction reading challenge that has been running on a Hungarian book site for the past 11 years. Each year it has 12 categories that participants have to pick their own nonfiction reads for (incl. memoirs and biographies). I have discovered several amazing nonfiction books through this challenge, so I decided to make a list of the best, and most mind-blowing, of them so far.
