books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

Suggestions are always welcome! Co-authored books in any genre (i.e. books that were written by at least two authors, either listed under one pen name or credited individually).

list inspired by the one church lady who asked me what i was reading a few years back, then was shocked and appalled when i showed her The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. this is all for you maam🫡

the name’s Bond. Alexz Bond. 😂

always taking suggestions for books with a full name in the title.

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

If you're a podcast addict like myself, you know that a lot of hosts also write books! Recs are welcome and appreciated 🩷

July is Disability Pride Month! Here's a big pile of books with disabled characters. All the books also have at least one queer character, and in most cases, the queer character and the disabled character are one and the same. (There are a few non-fiction titles in the mix as well; representation for queerness may be subtext/interpreted). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

All of these are from the list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. Not necessarily recommendations but there are some pretty good books on here. As well as a lot of textbooks

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

I thought it would be nice to have all of them in one long list.

In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.

This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!

it's the 2010s, you're watching the vlogbrothers on youtube & watching the hunger games movies with your friends in cinemas

Queer books are being challenged and banned way to much these days. Help me grow this list so we can support these books.

back in 2012 I used to run a multi-fandom account on insta/tumblr and all these books/series were fandoms I posted about. inspired to make this as some of these series I've not read for ~10 years and I want to go back and reread them, and the nostalgia in me wanted to create this list for anyone else who misses this era of fandom tumblr 🥹

small note: i don't support jkr, nor am i a fan of the series, but i have included HP for the timeframe and the influence it had on me at that age.

Joining my younger self on a reread of all the books I was exceptionally obsessed with in elementary, middle, and high school to reread this year between heavier books (some of the series are very long so I’m only including first in a series)

Love comes in all shapes and sizes . These are for the LGBTQ+ community who may want to read something that speaks to us

I am bisexual, polyamorous, asexual and nonbinary

Reccomadations welcome
