Recs if you like All the Water in the World...

climate fic set in worlds impacted by rising water levels

recommendations welcome, as always!

books set in drowned or drowning worlds

also known as “cozy catastrophes,” these are books that deal with a post-apocalyptic and/or dystopian world but are still hopeful, uplifting, or just leave you with more of a postive feeling!

Books that use climate change as a major force or backdrop.

Brb, just thinking about what I'd do in an environmental apocalypse

speculative and climate fiction about where we’re going

dystopian: relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice.

Highly anticipated new releases to add to your TBR

a selection of literature that has somewhat an eerie vibe, that focuses on oceans, rivers, ... any bodies of water, really. Water as transformation tool, water as a home or water as the thing giving life or killing it off. Sometimes water is a main character, sometimes it's just a presence, sometimes it's the lover, the friend, the family member, but other times it's the dream that can never be reached.

I've been noticing that I reach for a lot of books that are kinda sci-fi-y and center around climate change. Some are more for sure sci-fi and some are more literary/between genres

Books that feature water bc I love that kinda vibe 🌊

My most anticipated new releases for 2025. I will add as I discover them!!

Fiction and Nonfiction books on climate (change)!
