Recs if you like Journey to the Center of the Earth...

2026 is merciless. We lost another one, people. Pour one out for a legend. I'm devastated. Clue is one of my all-time favorite movies. I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show on the Queen Mary when I was in high school. They wrote slut on my chest and had me perform sapphic erotica for the audience. I had misread the vibe and was wearing a sailor suit my friend had cut the legs and crotch out of. It was an incredible (eye-opening) evening for me. We will miss you so much, Tim.

Books where the main characters have to travel a seemingly long distance to achieve their goals/quests. Travel is not exclusive to walking, this list also includes long distance travel by car, boat, train, and even spaceship!

As always, open to suggestions! 🙂🤠

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

This is a list of books representing every pokemon in HeartGold and SoulSilver (So Johto+Kanto regions). For my sanity, this is one book per evo line. The list with match-ups is in the comments✊🏻💚

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get you (too) horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!

Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!

stories featuring caves, crevices, holes, and other dark, possibly cramped places underground (or water) into which our characters must descend

Every book depicted on PBS's Wishbone (1995–1997)

Books with titles that start with the most uncommon letters to begin words: X, Q, Z & J.

I wanted to join the fun in doing an alphabet challenge and am currently adding X and Z to complete my alphabet of books :) Here’s some recommendations if others want a similar challenge!

(almost) every book in the game: tiny bookshop

i am definitely not the first person to make this but i am dedicated to make this the most comprehensive

sci-fi which has had an immeasurable impact on the genre or on the world (or the sci-fi i would include in my college course syllabus).

Dimension 20 on Dropout tv is the most recent D&D campaign with the intrepid hero’s & these are my book recs for the season!

steampunk, dinosaurs, time travel, oh my!

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

Keeping up with the 700+ books featured on Overdue since 2013

grab your flashlight and some extra rope, because we’re going underground!

a collection of books at least partly set in caves

i have a very heavy experiential bias towards classics/lit fic, let me know what i’m missing outside those genres!
