Recs if you like What the River Knows...

my all time fave duologies that are complete because sometimes a series is too much commitment and a standalone isn’t enough

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

I got my swim trunks & my flippy floppies 🩳🩴

I was listening to the lonely island and the next thing you know, this list happened.

this list contains a variety of books that take place on a variety of boats, ships and vessels

as always, taking any and all suggestions

Books that blend the magic of fantasy with real world history (i.e., books set within actual historical time periods and not inspired-by settings). Feedback and recs welcome!

Books that use the language itself as a narrative and literary device, switching from English to Spanish and back again in a variety of ways, from light sprinklings for flavor and atmosphere to requiring the reader to be functionally bilingual to fully understand. Suggestions always welcome!

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

A subgenre that I'm absolutely loving. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

books where most of the spice is stored in the pain of watching this people hopelessly yearn for eachother

I'm big into the theme of stories having archaeological plots. Even if the story isn't fully centered on archaeology--if it has a hint of it or similar fields of study--I'm in love. These stories might not have the same feel as "the Mummy" or "Indiana Jones", but they will have a hint of archaeological-adjacent themes smattered within at least.

Pirate stories, grand adventures and quests for treasure and more

Dark Academia's lighter and cozier counterpart. Mostly fantasy and nature books.

Historical fiction with magic, whether a lot or a little. I've mainly included books set in the 19th century to the early 20th. Some don't specify what year they're set in but have the 'vibes' of that era.

First book in a series counts as the entire series.

We love a good duology! Mostly fantasy, with a few sci-fi ones thrown in!

Books with fun archaeological plots, some with romance, all with adventure, clue trails, and puzzles. Think Indiana Jones, National Treasure, Outer Banks

Magic, a beautiful, far away place, adventure, action and romance with a dash of banter... If you loved The Mummy and want to read books that have the same vibes, then this is the list for you. (Based on community recs.)

Books where women (sometimes sisters) who are usually living in the early 1900's travel to Egypt and become early archaeologists. Bonus points for: forbidden romances, being chased by theives and coming of age vibes. Critiques of imperialism and pro-repatriation are necessary
