Recs if you like Autumn...

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

Books by queer Scottish writers.

I just finished who will be remembered here and am now keen to try out other works of the writers who collaborated. Thought I’d make a list in case someone else is interested :)

Suggestions for anything queer and Scottish are welcome, as are comments if you see something on the list you think doesn’t fit. I’m not Scottish and have read exactly none of these books, so I am obviously not the leading authority on anything.

Books written by Scottish authors/set in Scotland

Name generators my beloveds. Just a list made by someone whose D&D characters were mostly christened with the help of RNG. The one and only criterion: Title is a first/given name (or nickname too)! Some are verified by the book actually containing a character with that name.

Britta Bohler, an Austrian booktuber who solely posts on books written by women, made a list of 1001 books to read before you die written by only by female authors ,as a response to all the lists that were being released at the time by critically acclaimed sources and included in the list about 70-90% male authors. This is me slowly reading that list.

Books for my favourite season of all! These books contain themes of derailment and delusion, transitional periods, a slow descent into darkness or obscurity, the taboo and the monstrous, autumnal aesthetics, turning inward, a slowing down, or a midpoint between life and death.
