Recs if you like As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow...

This list brings together fiction from around the world that documents historical events or periods of time. Titles in this list aren't necessarily "historical fiction" but do have an important historical element to them.

I find fiction is an easy media to help educate me about world history I never learned in school. These titles aim to bring to light historical events that may not be taught in schools!

As always, I'm open to any and all suggestions! 🤠

A reading list celebrating books by Arab American authors and the many stories, histories, cultures, and imagined worlds they bring to the page. This list was created as a way to expand my own reading beyond the perspectives and experiences most familiar to me.

I am not Arab American, and I do not intend this list to speak for the Arab American community or define the full range of Arab American literature. I welcome recommendations, corrections, and notes from Arab American readers and authors, especially if there are books that should be added or removed.

hangry thoughts creeping in? can't take your mind off that glass of water? read a book! whether you wanna read Quran, make some duaa, or need some fluff have a gander at these stories. some may be related to islam and others are just a feel good pick-me-up for that ramadan fatigue. from the Holy Quran to mysteries to West Asian fantasy ◡̈

recommendations are welcome 🤗

do you remember The Wiggles song “Fruit Salad”? or maybe “I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas”? what about any song from Veggietales like “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”?

this list is freshly harvested and full of books with (specifically) fruits and veggies in the title or on the cover 🌶️🥭🍒🍋🫑🥕🍓🍑🥝🫐🍇🥒

some are more appropriate than others 😈

as always, please feel free to suggest any books I missed!

These books are historical fiction from different area and time periods. I did not add WW2 books as they are already highly popular and I wanted to focus on lesser known time periods or countries in the genre. Please suggest similar books.

a list of books that catapult you right into a different historical & cultural context and part of the world because of how vivid the writing is.

Channeling my inner Dom Toretto. Whoever said you can’t choose your family never experienced the joy of the found family trope!

Books with friendships so strong, they might as well be family. Some fun, some bittersweet, some toxic.

This list is incomplete, I’ve just added books that I have read and know are found family so please please please give me recommendations!

For the girls who wanna learn more about societal and global issues, but are too burned by academia to read non-fiction

When life gives you lemons… well, I guess you've got to make the most of it. There is nothing like a nice book and a good snack, so here is a lemon themed list, for each cookbook comes a book with lemon in its title. Fiction and non-fiction are both on the menu today so you may pick whichever tickles your fancy!
