Recs if you like Dead Poets Society...

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

Hello! My name is John / Jon / Jonny / Jonathan! This list contains books that feature a main or semi-important character with a variant of the name John.

As always, open to suggestions!

A mix of different books that all centre around the “dark academia” genre ✨

All are very welcome to this list, but I've geared it towards my fellow neurospicy folk with busy Brains who need some high dopamine sparks from their books...and for it to not take forever for us to read a book and we lose our interest/hyperfocus 🤣🥰

For the readers out there who were on the internet with no restrictions in the early 2010s XD

Please comment which book was your favorite during this era!

does what it says on the tin

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.

These books have lgbt+ representation in them even if sometimes it's not the main focus or the leading couple. It's important to me to have a list that has variety and of not just stories about love but also those exploring gender identity and about those who don't experience love the same way like asexuals and aromatics. So far thare's a lot of sapphic books as well as quite a few books w/transgender mc's.

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

anything that kind of gives off that dark academia, magical, chaos, LGBT. Open to recs! No actual fanfic!!!! Fanfic is fine but not on book sites, keep it to the fan spaces.

Books under 250 pages

You are obsessed with the meaning of language in itself - how it operates, its importance for the individual and all troubles and inequalities that come with wielding tongues from all across the world. Here, the language becomes the story

middle grade and young adult

Books from all genres that are gut wrenching and beautifully written🪉

Feel free to comment your recommendations!!🫶

I realised I adored the secret history partly because of the beautiful setting so here are more books set in New England! PS: Anyone going to college in New England??

Youve heard of book adapted to film and TV! This is vice versa! Movies/Tv Shows that got their own book version!

Work in Progress Only novelisations no media tie-in books or books adapted to film

VERY open to suggestions since as you can see this is a pretty short list, and I always love reading books with homoerotic themes

Books that are perfect for back to school and the start of autumn!
