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

Sports Books come in all shapes and forms. Maybe you want an athlete’s memoir, a literary drama, a sports romance, a mystery, an endurance adventure, a manga, or a book about the science and culture of sport - we have it all! This is not a comprehensive list of all niche genres, but a little map of the many ways sport can show up in literature. Recommendations are always welcome - just remember: variety is the key! 😉

Fiction books about the immortal game of chess.

All the books I’ve read that have been adapted into a movie or TV show.

Fun fictional chess reads

Wow I loved that show/movie! Maybe I should read the book?

Each year I make a 'best of' list and this is the complete collection. Do I claim these are all truly quality reads? No lol. I am a feral raccoon. But I very much believe books can be enjoyable even if not necessarily good – though do think at least most of these are both.

I hope even just one person enjoys even just one book they might not have otherwise found.

This is a list of books for the Read The States Challenge. Read any on each of the state lists and be awarded the pride of knowing you have read all across the US!
