Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

Just a fun little list of books that have inspired songs. Please list the book and the song with the artist in your suggestions, or if it's a concept album based on a book, just include the book and the album with the artist. I will not be including any books by JKR, Neil Gaiman, or Orson Scott Card, or songs by Iced Earth. Will not be adding musicals based on books, songs written for films based on books, or songs that are classic poems to music.

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

books where characters step through mirrors into new or different worlds.

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

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!

books with left handed or even ambidextrous characters or about being left handed. (make sure to celebrate on August 13th, as it's international left handers day)

"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty" - C.S.Lewis

As a parent of 2 boys, I want to introduce them to good literature as early as possible! This is my list of classics that are appropriate for kids to listen to (read them aloud or listen to the audiobook). I’ve left some off this list due to misogyny and racism I thought was unforgivable. But ALL these books were written by imperfect people in an imperfect world, there may be topics you may need to have deeper conversations with your kids. ❤️

A mythological deep dive into the magical world of Bunny by Mona Awad

titles named after the main character of the novel.

This is a list of all books and poems from the chapter quotes. Let's hop into all the supporting texts for fun and for a deeper understanding of the themes! I've done my best for picking books that match, but some of these are either hard to get ahold of or swamped with other stuff, they're mostly there for aesthetic purposes. The actual list is in the comments with links to all resources for free. Please use the links for the most accuracy.

Books based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland

A collection of stories inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!

Books in which the characters 'go into' real, physical objects in their own world to get to another world/universe. It has to be objects that are not usually meant to 'transport' you, like vehicles or doorways.

✅ The Land of Stories: The characters have to 'go into' a book to get to the Land of Stories. ❌ Harry Potter: The characters take a train to another location within their own world. ❌ Coraline: The characters go through a secret door to get to the other world.
