Well, you have options
Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉
(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)

Witches, Weirdos & Other Women of Taste
A little feral, a little fashionable, and wholly uninterested in being understood. From housewives who fall in love with sea creatures to grandmothers who commune with the cosmos. These stories are eccentricity, rebellion, and taste.

Floating in a deprivation tank vibes 🛁
These are books that dissolve the edges of reality...quiet, uncanny, and often profound. You’ll find yourself suspended in dream logic, where time is slippery, identity flickers, and language floats like fog. Perfect for when you crave something liminal, lyrical, or just plain weird in the softest way. Read them when the world feels too loud and you want to disappear...but beautifully.

These feel like Roland Faunte songs
"I am the reason I suffer but I am worth fighting for." - Roland Faunte (from the song "Anchor")
Haunting, delicate, desperate, shaking voices, trembling fingers...reading these stories feels like listening to Roland Faunte songs. [Created Apr '26]

A Guide to the Emerald Isle 💚🤍🧡
A guide to works from the land of saints and scholars. Fiction and Non-fiction. Classics and new(er). Books about Ireland, Irish culture, the Irish language, and perhaps a few written in/that feature the Irish language. Some might have nothing to do with Ireland at all!

Fact or Fiction?
Books that make you ask, "Is this real?"
These stories blur the line between fact and fiction through powerful and creative writing (and, sometimes, outright deception). Some of these books are fiction, while others are nonfiction. This list is meant to go beyond historical fiction and autobiographies, though some of these are included.
