Recs if you like The Book Censor's Library...

Book covers with typography oriented in non-standard alignments, instead of the typical horizontal + left to right text alignment. Or: graphic design is my passion, and today we are learning about text paths 🙂‍↕️. This is an immensely silly List, and always open to suggestions—vertical text, circular, upside down, anything goes!

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

Fiction books by Arab authors and/or books starring Arab characters (and as always, Free Palestine)

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.

SWANA authors are authors from South West Asia and North Africa. They currently make up <1% of the trad publishing industry. This list is here to introduce you to their stories.

NOTE: if you find an author who doesn’t belong on this list, please comment & I will remove the book(s) ASAP.

As always, lists are forever evolving🥰

This reading list brings together books that explore how ideas, history, and storytelling shape the world we live in. Each selection invites readers to think critically about society, leadership, and change. If you have more recommendations that should be on this list please let me know.

Books about authors, literature, or with books as a general theme

Books with rabbits on the cover (and hares for those who care to distinguish!) for my investigation as to what genre bunnies usually represent

I do note that 70% is horror, but I am biased in my reading so that doesn't mean anything yet.

Recommendations are welcome, just keep in mind I'm trying to avoid children and middle grade books and I'm very hesitant to include YA books- but please feel free to convince me.

Books that aren't set in the US or UK, as those books dominate reading lists. I'm trying to collect as many different countries as possible, but sometimes there will be 2-3 books from one country.
