Recs if you like The Lady of Shalott...

I will update this list frequently! Recommendations welcomed.

Any books about Britain and King Arthur. These are taken from books I have read, and books I have been recommended, or that inspired similar styles .

A pick of romanticist fiction, poetry and essays, both 19th century and contemporary with adjacent vibes, from me to you. Expect sentimental, but often dark stories and magical places real and fictional, alternative and mythological.

The books mentioned or alluded to in The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. If it’s a series, book 1 is listed unless a specific book was mentioned. Where just the author was mentioned, I’ve made my best guess.

Listed books/authors are NOT endorsements. Some authors/series are problematic, but I have chosen not to censor this list with one exception that, if mentioned in the book, shall not be named in this list.

All the books (and some of) the poems I've read and taught as a highschool English teacher

The literature I’ve read for my bachelor’s in English Literature at the University of Oslo (2023-2026)

i feel like everyone should read these at least once in their life
