Recs if you like Run with the Wind...

books about running (more on the philosophical side than the biomechanical). recs welcome!

long-distance running demands consistency in the face of change, endurance in times of difficulty, and the willingness to keep growing in increments rather than quick wins. it also demands honesty — to bare yourself to yourself and make room for rest when it is needed. we run on our own, but we never run alone.

Sports Books come in all shapes and forms. Maybe you want an athlete’s memoir, a literary drama, a sports romance, a mystery, an endurance adventure, a manga, or a book about the science and culture of sport - we have it all! This is not a comprehensive list of all niche genres, but a little map of the many ways sport can show up in literature. Recommendations are always welcome - just remember: variety is the key! 😉

bards, knights, freedom, and most importantly, wine. where do all these things find a home? mondstadt, the land of freedom in teyvat.

this list is based on the first region in the game genshin impact. books that feel light like the wind, are set in nature, have a medieval setting, or are based on folklore, all of them are welcome in this list. for fans and non-fans alike!

always open to suggestions and recommendations!
