the feminine imagination in east asian literature
a collection of inventive, incisive, and invigorating works of contemporary and speculative fiction by women writers of East Asia and its diaspora.






Mushroomcore: Cozy, Sporror & Fungis
This is a list of Mushroomcore related books! We have everything from horror, to cozy and fantasy/sci-fi. This is the era of Spontasy (Fantasy), Spomance (Romance) and other genres too. Essentially it's time for the mushroom goblins to take over the world






mushrooms, mycology, and fungi, oh my!
the title pretty much says it all, fic + nonfic featuring mushrooms and fungus!






dreams that donβt leave
dreamy, surreal, reflective texts π€ composed of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and memoirs






Books that make you hungry
Books about food, either non-fiction or foodie fiction






Asian Authors
An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.






scary, spacy & spellbinding (200-300 pages)
Short-ish (& sometimes spicy) standalone speculative stories.






Weird and Unhinged Women 2.0
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.
This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated). You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!






Fungus Amungus
Books featuring spores, molds, and fungi. Suggestions welcome.






Much Ado About Shrooms
Cozy, Horror, Mystery, Adventure, Romance. As long as the book has shrooms as a major plot point, there is a place for it in this list.






Fungal Gothic
What if mushrooms were sentient and hangry?






Weird and Unhinged Women
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.






The Fungal Imaginary
Speculative works that form part of what I've called the "the fungal imaginary" in an academic context






Books where food is basically a character
Warning: these reads may cause sudden cravings






Weird Older Women
List formerly known as weird girl elders. "Weird girl literature" books with characters that are over 30.
π yarnandbooks






Enchanted Arts
Craft, Performance and Art-focused Fantasy/Gothic






mycologi-"cool"
books where mycology takes over in horrific/fantastical ways






Sporror (Spore and Mushroom horror) New and Old
I love mushroom-related horror, and these are all the books I have found that use spores, fungus, or mushrooms as the antithesis of the book's horror.






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!
