Recs if you like The Naturalist Society...

A collection of fantasy books featuring elements of light academia.

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.

I’m assembling a team. a team of books related to ecological and earth sciences. recs more than welcome!

"an aesthetic that celebrates intellectual pursuits, literature, and art with an optimistic, airy and cozy vibe"

An ongoing list of stuff I've read on KU that I think make the sub worth the price. This will largely be sci-fi and fantasy, just due to my own taste in books. There will definitely be some junk food on here. If it's a series, only the first book will be listed.

Note: these were all on KU at the time I added them to this list. They may fall off and I probably won't realize it. Feel free to give me a heads up and I will remove them!

I'd love to hear your recs too!
