Recs if you like Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Fungi Taught Me about Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival...

Nature is Fluid & Interconnected: A perspective blending Queer Theory (challenging norms around gender/sexuality) with Ecology (the study of relationships in nature). Queer ecology questions assumptions that human norms (like heterosexuality or fixed binaries) are the only "natural" way. It invites us to see nature, ourselves, and our relationships with more nuance and complexity.

What every goblin needs to know

Books that are part memoir part another genre: in a way that blends multiple mediums and/or themes in unique and engaging ways. Magical, explosive and memorable narratives expressed with creativity and depth. Books that inspire me to write more.

Nonfiction books that are definitely not about Ötzi the Iceman, Europe's oldest known natural mummy, but which manage to find a relevant way to bring him up anyways.

Inspired by a weird little trend I've been noticing.

Nonfiction books exploring the natural world and our “place in the family of things” (Mary Oliver, Wild Geese) through radical BIPOC, queer, feminist, anti-capitalist, disability ecological perspectives. 🪲🌾🦉🌵

This is a list of Mushroomcore related books! We have everything from horror, to cozy and fantasy/sci-fi. This is the era of Spontasy (Fantasy), Spomance (Romance) and other genres too. Essentially it's time for the mushroom goblins to take over the world

the title pretty much says it all, fic + nonfic featuring mushrooms and fungus!

This list was generated from a post on pagebound club on Juneteenth in 2026. I opted to not try and make this list comprehensive but just to document the community recs from that day - however, if you have more books to recommend please comment in the forum! Prompts from the original post will be in the comments. Note: prompts asked for books by Black authors, not only those from/books set in the US. See comments section for more discussion.

Books about the wonderful and fascinating Kingdom of Fungi and their relationship with us.

Plus a slime mould or two (Kingdom Protista)

These books were not chosen by me!! The Bocas Lit Fest is a Trinidad and Tobago based organisation that lifts up literary artists from the Caribbean. I wanted to have this list of books here instead of having to go back to their website when I wanted to reference it and thought that it may be useful to anyone looking for recent releases from Caribbean authors. The winners were: Fiction: Ibis Nonfiction: The Snag: A Mother, a Forest, and Wild Grief Poetry: The World After Rain: Anne’s Poems
