Hopecore books
For when things seem hopeless. We can always try again and again โค๏ธ
This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.
Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.






Every graphic novel ever
I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. Iโm not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.
Also manga is not included.






Tiny Fables
All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.






sorry i misheard, what does the fox say??
a list inspired by the nighttime feature of London - street foxes! includes both fiction and non-fiction! (and my obsession with the fox narrative in Fleabag)
book recommendations always welcome!

Druid Fantasy
Books with druids as main characters or major plot points.
First books in series only. This could exclude series where druids appear in later books.

Animation Adaptions! ๐จ๐๏ธ
Much like books to movies but solely focused on animated movies/series! Suggestions welcome!

This list is about fictional families which break your heart, make your heart and reveal parts of you, you never knew existed. Its about love and dysfunction and how they often come packaged together.

Books for kids looking for something to read.
This is a list of books for kids who need something to read! It ranges from 6-12 and included in here are all sorts of genres! Recommendations welcome. ๐( When there are series included on here, only the first book is added, this is the same for all my lists).






Through a child's eyes
A list filled with adorable middle grade/children's fiction to take us back way back when. (A good unwind session plus it would be great to share these to get more kids into reading-all suggestions welcome)

If you find yourself underneath the trees, unsure which way to turn, take a breath with me.






Read to Your Inner Child
Childhood favorite books or newer childrenโs books to turn to when you need a break from the adult world or a healthy dose of nostalgia






The moment my eyes opened to a new reality
These are all the books that changed my life and the way that I view the people and cultures around me.






Healing Fiction
A cozy subgenre originating from Japan and South Korea that features low-stakes, contemplative stories with themes around healing, community, loneliness, grief, burnout, etc. Magical realism is often present as well.






Auntie Lion and the Niblings Read Books






Books to Remind You that You Arenโt Alone
My picks of the โhealing fictionโ โค๏ธโ๐ฉน genre and books that fit the vibe. Iโve read most of these books and can attest to them. It might not seem like there is a theme here, but I promise it makes sense and I tried to vary them. Take care of yourselves friends.
Some of these books deal with heavier topics and some are cozy. Some are really really weird, but make you think in an interesting way and are cathartic to read. I hope you find some peace in at least one of them. โค๏ธ
