Crimes committed by movie studios against amazing books. “The book walked, so these movies could trip and fall down the stairs” - JadeLovesBooks ✨

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

on average people read 40-60 pages an hour, so this is a continuously updated collection of books with 60 pages or less & a couple short story collections

Here you’ll find a multitude of children’s books featured in the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, which, if you’re unfamiliar, heavily features a children’s bookstore called The Shop Around the Corner. Nothing brings me joy quite like children’s literature and 90s nostalgia, so I have painstakingly studied the shelves featured in the film to bring this list to life. I hope that at least one book here unlocks a nostalgic memory for you, or at least conjures a smile of recognition.

A list of Banned or Censored books (from around the world) that I want to read and form my own opinions about...

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Children’s picture books that have been banned or challenged in the U.S. Recommendations always welcome!

Getting kids reading is as important as teaching them about the natural world, so why not do both at once! Books range in ages, from 2-10+ years.

Please drop any suggestions in the comments!

(almost) every book in the game: tiny bookshop

I learned to read between 1995 (birth) and 2000, and these are the books that taught me how. As some of my peers raise their kids, I find us all returning to the first titles we remember reading to share with them and ignite their passion, and I think that's beautiful tbh.

P.S. My mom helped me make this list. 🫶🏼

According to the ALA, "The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children."

Other books and plays referenced within Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea.

See notes for information on references. (Tk)

🚧 In Progress !! 🚧 - Confirming and noting exact place / theme / etc of referenced material. Pulling from others lists atm / online until I do.

Adding the starless sea so this list can be found by those looking at the book! 👀 ✨

Just realised that the game actually features real books! So these are some of the books that show up in the game

compiling a list of modern and classic picture books for young children! focusing on books that are entertaining, educational, or feature diversity in some form.

Books that can be a little weird, a little silly, or a little sinister. Just like Cosmo Sheldrake. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes haunting, sometimes airy, and sometimes dark. But always distinct, strange, different, and beautiful. ❤️‍🩹 (And one just cuz it was written by his brother)

The books mentioned or alluded to in The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. If it’s a series, book 1 is listed unless a specific book was mentioned. Where just the author was mentioned, I’ve made my best guess.

Listed books/authors are NOT endorsements. Some authors/series are problematic, but I have chosen not to censor this list with one exception that, if mentioned in the book, shall not be named in this list.

Every day when my kindergarten-aged boys get home from school, we read at least one new book - this list documents the full list of children’s books over the course of the school year! 🥰

Instead of dancing in Target for inner child work, maybe let's start with reading kids books from our youth- and kids books that remind us of our youth.
