Recs if you like Water Moon...

books that transport you into gentle adventures and charming worlds (with a side of life-altering epiphanies and self discoveries)

Book covers with typography oriented in non-standard alignments, instead of the typical horizontal + left to right text alignment. Or: graphic design is my passion, and today we are learning about text paths 🙂‍↕️. This is an immensely silly List, and always open to suggestions—vertical text, circular, upside down, anything goes!

Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

no matter where you live, we all see the same moon, even if it’s day, the moon is still there saying 🌝 so here is a list of a bunch of books with the word “moon” in the title

taking suggestions!

this is for aesthetics only

dreamy, surreal, reflective texts 🤍 composed of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and memoirs

A list of cozy fiction for when the world is heavy and the Book Club book is too much.

Books are cozy based on other lists or cute-munity reccs. Your milage may vary.

Books set in an Asian or Asian-inspired setting or incorporates elements of an Asian culture or mythology. Only the first book in a series is listed.

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.

We have a lot of requests in our library for these, so I figured I would provide the page bound community with our list!

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

Mostly Asian healing books about comforting stores that can help people heal

These are books I am going to start reading before bed, because my regular selection of reading material just really riles me up. Inspired by two posts from the Substack Feeling! Magazine by Jenna O'Brien.

Fantasy inspired by China, Japan, Mongolia, Korea, and/or Taiwan (myths, setting, etc.)

No I am not a white girl who ‘is newly Chinese’. But I am a white girl WHO LITERALLY WILL CONSUME ANY ASIAN FANTASY I CAN GET MY HANDS ON!!! Like literally fly me away because these authors and their worlds are SO GOOD!!!

Books that I think have beautiful front covers. Open for recommendations!

it's a cozy fantasy kind of winter (bonus points if its sapphic)

Some gems, some disasters... All selected for the cover. Contents may vary. Read at your own risk. ... *NB: There are different editions out there, but these are specifically the ones available here. ... Most of these I've seen in the book store. I've not read all of these but hopefully will one day. Recommendations are welcome.

Any genre of book is allowed- requirements are simply that coziness abounds!
