Recs if you like Almond...

Time to take a trip to the supermarket to pick up our groceries for the week!

This list features books that have titles of food you could buy at the store.

As always, open to suggestions! 🤠

Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉

(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)

as we approach the end of the year, i thought of compiling a collection of short audiobooks for anyone trying to sneak more books onto their read list or for those trying to complete reading challenges! best of luck! 🌟

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

spotlighting some incredible books by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander authors

a comprehensive list of books from each country in asia including books I want to read and have read! some countries have multiple books listed, but for starters each will have at least 1.

a favourite niche of mine, partly inspired by 4 years spent living there ✨

a non-exhaustive list.

Book with main characters that are disabled. Both physical and mental included. Eg chronic/terminal illness, physical disabilities, mental illness, neurodivergance, addiction, injury and injury recovery, symptoms causing health issues etc. Doesn't have to be a diagnosed condition. Not necessarily by authors with shared experiences. Books any be any genre. Added only 1st book of series unless there are different characters.

Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments! No "magic cure" books.

Books with short chapters!!! I started a challenge where I read a super long book a chapter-a-day and annotate it using a study guide! I found that annotating short chapters is super accessible and not overwhelming at all for me, so I wanted to share this list with anyone that wants to start over-analyzing their books :) I included a variety of stories because HOW you read is as important (if not more) than WHAT you read!!!!

ladies love to write all around the world!

— Characters on the cover (probably)

Books with covered faces (partial, mostly or fully!) of most/all of the characters on the cover!

recs are welcome! :)
