Recs if you like Peter Pan...

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.

A list of books that share more specific titles with kpop songs. Kpop songs named after books count. See comments for kpop song and book title match-ups. Always open to suggestions!

Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

all the books, plays, and authors mentioned in we didn’t start the fire by Billy Joel, which is also my go-to karaoke song 🙂‍↕️

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

Books from various countries that are staples of classic international childhood literature.

Books that have been adapted into or inspired musicals

"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty" - C.S.Lewis

Orphan Fantasy Fiction™. This list isn't about found family, it's about kids living independently/unsupervised and taking care of themselves.

inspired by me watching youtube videos about literary analysis of villains, here is a list full of books in which i believe their villains to be absolutely ghastly and horrifying; bloody and abusive, terrorizing and killing. if you have any to recommend, please put them in the comments! i'd love to make this list large!

titles named after the main character of the novel.
