Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.
the new wave of climate fiction
i don’t need to explain to anyone why the proliferation climate fiction has skyrocketed over the past few years. this new wave of climate fiction, from 2020-present (ongoing), refuses to exclude climate catastrophe from depictions of or changing world. these works are grounded in present and future realities, the speculative less ‘speculative’, and more predictive.
half-glimpsed images: the novel in fragments
the fragmentary novel is constructed of fragments or vignettes, typically following images, thoughts, and feelings over a sequential series of events. in a world of disruption, displacement, and of time being swallowed and spat out by the machines of capitalism and colonialism, the fragmentary novel offers an alternative structure.
title borrowed from jenny offill. recommendations welcome.
Books about library workers and libraries
Does what it says on the tin (or the back of the book?). This list is specifically about the people who make libraries work as well as libraries as a concept, but not books that only use the library as a setting for a novel (there are other amazing lists that already do that!).
Quickies! Books that are 200 pages or less
I see a few lists on here with this theme, but they were short themselves - and I was looking for a more diverse selection. So, thought I'd make my own list and share it! Nice for reading goals, but mostly, I like breaking up the rhythm if I'm reading something exceptionally long.
Weird and Unhinged Women
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.
Weird and Unhinged Women 2.0
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.
This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* lit expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks, who is no longer on Pagebound. You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!
