Books set in B&Bs, Inns, and the like

Suggestions are always welcome and appreciated!

Books that would help educate children about various important history topics, social justice issues, and people different from themselves (ie disabled, queer, or neurodivergent people).

Recommendations are always welcome! Fiction and nonfiction are fine. I would prefer more modern book recommendations. I’d love if you could explain your reasoning for recommending a bit!

Middle grade and YA novels whose main characters are artists. Recommendations are always welcome — the only requirement is that the main character must be some sort of artist (painters, writers, dancers, musicians, chefs, and more are all acceptable) and that their love of art must play a key role in the plot.

This is a list of middle grade books that have been honored or awarded with the Newbery Award among other children's literature awards, including the Pura Belpré Award, APALA Literature Award, Coretta Scott King Book Award, and Schneider Family Book Award.

Explore the culture, food, love, struggles, history, and more in these children's/middle grade, young adult, and adult books by Chinese authors or set in China.

Every daggone book out there is "special" these days 🙄 but I need these, publishing houses! NEED!

(note - for series I've only included the first book)

Back to school books aimed at middle graders- gr 4-7 or 8-12yo. Mostly fiction, but a mix of nonfiction too.

All of the books in this list were either read when I was a kid, or gave that comforting nostalgic feeling when reading it as an adult.

Aren’t you glad that we’re never too old for a whimsical read?
