Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

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.

Look, if you are taking out racist nonsense, sure. But if you are adding texting for no reason, get out here with that bullshit.

Be sure to check which edition of these books you read if you don't want to be jump scared by weird incongruity. Recommendations heartily welcomed.

(Newer titles that have already seen updates also welcome.)

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

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!

These are all books that have been turned into films, what they all have in common is that Hugh Grant has starred in them. Disclaimer: some films have been loosely based on the books.

because we gotta hit our reading goal 🫡 short books (around or under 200 pages) for when you need something in between longer reads or want to up your reading count 🥰 includes almost all genres and different age groups! and will definitely have some graphic novels because that’s my favourite way to speed through books hehe

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

This is a list of books for kids who need something to read! It ranges from 6-12 and included in here are all sorts of genres! Recommendations welcome. 😊( When there are series included on here, only the first book is added, this is the same for all my lists).

The books your teacher made you read between the ages of 11-14. They changed the way you saw the world, they made you realize books were more than just goofy or sentimental stories you gobbled up before bedtime, and they stuck with you, all these years later.

Suggestions welcome, especially from non-American readers!!

Note: this list was made by a Millennial, so I'd love to hear from some different generations! What did your teachers assign you?
