Recs if you like One Night on the Island...

Fiction books that have a character who knits or crochets ✨ So beware, these people have needles and know how to use them 🧶⚔️ (pls imagine the swords as two crossed knitting needles, and yes we really should have that as an emoji)

At this point I am not sure if yarn really is cheaper than therapy, buuuut it is still fun and great for stress relief, and I love coming across characters who share a hobby with me 😍

AKA: I love you almost as much as I love books

Romances and rom-coms with at least one main character who works in/around/with books (editor, publisher, author, seller, librarian, professor, etc)

Always open to suggestions!

Books set on islands or written by native islanders from around the world for the days you want to be surrounded by nothing but waves. Please comment missing books :)

romance and romcoms set in/on vacation, or vacation adjacent. Some books include basic travel, road trips, honeymoons, where the vacation is the whole point. Other stories don’t have the vacation as the main component of the story, but it is included nonetheless. Also included some titles where only one main character is traveling and the other is a local.
