Recs if you like One Italian Summer...

books about time slips, loops, travel, and alternate realities

Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!

Books that were/are Barnes & Noble Monthly Picks, Books of the year, Hot Coffee Hot Books, or Book Club picks.

A balance of breezy page-turners with immersive classics and thought-provoking non-fiction.

List of books with numbers in the title.

Bonjour, olá, hallo - these books are set all across Europe. From the coast of Portugal to the beautiful Caucasus and from freezing Scandinavia to the islands of the Mediterranean. Mostly fiction, a few non-fiction (mostly memoirs) in there :) Recommendations welcome!

Tasty food, gorgeous landscapes, inspiring history - there's so much Italy has to offer for an interesting story.

A feel-good mix of romance reads that are perfect for summer!

Light, feel-good romances set in sun-soaked destinations and dreamy escapes. These stories focus on soft moments, swoony connections, and the sweetness of love during carefree seasons.

Food-related books across genres (only including first book of series if all food related)

Time loops, time travel, time ticking down, oh my!

Fiction books set in Italy

Open to recs!

this is for my fellow gilmore girly girls <3 still a work in progress list- these are just the books I’ve read. I’ll add more as I find more books.

Type Six: ....self explanatory

Books that contain some sort of grief story line. Someone has died, someone is grieving, someone is trying to move forward or find closure. Normalizing grief and proof that it demands to be felt. These are books that could be preferred over "traditional" grief books that can be too heavy and technical on a grieving brain but help a griever feel seen and understand their own grief more.
