Page-turning stories about fictional undercover spies and top-secret operations. From classics to contemporary. Feedback and recs welcome!

Standalone books worth a read or repeat!

this is purely based on vibes

Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)

Historical fiction so good I couldn’t put it down!!

Historical Fiction that wreaks of a good time
