Recs if you like Portrait of a Thief...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

(all-genres) fiction involving robberies. please leave recs!

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.

recently gotten really obsessed with heists/heist movies (if anyone can find anything that scratches the same itch “The Sting” does I would be forever grateful) and I’m trying to collect books with similar feels/themes. very very open to suggestions.

Books to read on your sunny balcony in the shadows while wearing sunglasses because it's still too bright. There's a drink to your right, the condensation forming a little ring on your little balcony table. Maybe it's wine, maybe it's water, maybe only slow melting ice cubes. You don't know what time it is and everything smells like sunscreen.

sapphic reads i've read or on my tbr! mostly fantasy/scifi and contemp, some hisrom and nonfic 📚

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for the Illumicrate Sub. ◽️ Not Including sequels or special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books about a month after release to avoid spoilers.

This list features book covers illustrated or designed by New York-based artist Vi-An Nguyen. Her work boasts bold typography, minimalist illustrations, and bright, contracting colours on beautifully textured backgrounds. Her cartoons are often featured in The New Yorker.

for your inner child who dreamed of growing up to become a criminal mastermind/thief—never give up on your dreams!

books i’ve read with a main course of mischief and mayhem and a dish of heists/thefts/burgleries/cons on the side (or vice versa)

Books that would be great for a local, in-person book club at a cafe and will hopefully spark great discussion!

Although I'm a firm believer in re-reading books when you're in a slump, I know some of you prefer to read a fresh book to get out of it. So here are books that I think you should give a chance, if you haven't done so yet, to get out of a slump! (Please note that I'm not adding all the books of a series, just the first book.)

Fiction books that challenge ideas of power and how power is perpetuated.

Authors are they themselves part of colonial processes.

books about con artists
