Recs if you like Under Water...

was curious, so did some research and found loads and loads!!! happy reading, folks!

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.

lit fic and horror, mainly, and mostly books by women, nonbinary & trans writers, basically mostly non-cis-men

Books recommended by Dakota Johnson each month for her bookclub associated with her production company TeaTime Pictures!

In the bookclub IG channel her and her @teatime.pictures team also shared deep dives into the books and insights about them, often curated by the authors themselves ✨ From October 2026 the bookclub moved to Substack!

All books shortlisted for the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize (2022-2026)
