Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me

A love letter to female Irish writers.

I have not read all of these - I do have a life

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release.

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

I'm making these kind of lists to make you open your eyes and do your own research.

The list is never-ending so there will always be someone missing

love sad books all day every day

The first book in a series.

Of the many audiobooks I have listened, these are the ones that add so much to the reading experience. To miss out on these narrations would be an utter shame. These are recitations. These are performances!

Books that feel like a CW show that takes place in the 2000-2010s.

All books of Fairyloot in 2026. This includes the subscribtions and the shop editions.

FMC that has gone through it and is scared, vulnerable, painfully shy. Books with PTSD representation and a fair amount of trauma healing.

Books that have actual numbers numbers in the title (7 instead of seven)

Open to recs 🙌🏼
