Recs if you like My Brilliant Career...

a list of classics with a focus on global and marginalised authors.

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

Southern Hemisphere reads!! we will be running an unofficial SH season readalong, and our Spring readalong book is Wale Rider (1/9-30/11)! this is for any books written by SH authors, especially those set here, so pop your fav recs in the comments 😁 (i haven't read all of these! so double check content warnings if you need to)

books that are the basis for adaptations and other book-related films and TV shows being released in the U.S. in August 2026
