Recs if you like Mio, My Son...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

A collection of Swedish classics that have been translated to English, including some more modern classics. First I added classics I'm familiar with myself and then I went down a rabbit hole looking at a couple of lists online and the recently established cultural canon of Sweden. I've made an effort to add diversity where I can but as you can imagine it's quite lacking, especially in works that have been translated to English. I've also excluded poetry for now as that's not my thing.

Books I read as a kid or books my mom read to me, that still just hit right. Mostly typical German/Northern European books
