Recs if you like When the Museum is Closed...

a collection of inventive, incisive, and invigorating works of contemporary and speculative fiction by women writers of East Asia and its diaspora.

dreamy, surreal, reflective texts 🤍 composed of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and memoirs

Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

Books about people (particularly women) with a unique job situation. The definition of "unique job situation" is basically vibes. It could be fantastical or surreal, or just a normal job in an unusual situation. Or maybe a job so mundane and specific that the focus on it feels weird. Also books about real people with unique and interesting jobs. (Also I have not read all of these so I'm just going off descriptions for some of them.)

wherein characters find connection, meaning, or growth at museums/historic buildings/galleries/archives

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

It’s always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you 😌 These are all women focused books. Some I’ve read and some I’m going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.

I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but I’ve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.
